I'm sad enough that I'd change to a female character just so I could get that one additional San d'Orian quest title that male characters can't...
It all began with a stone...
I honestly do not know anyone this indecisive. But you've really got to have a ton of disposable income to want to change your character (outside of glamour) once a day or more. I know one or two people who change it every week or two, but none more than that. I've only changed twice- using up the fantasias I got for free - when the Au Ra came out and when Hrothgar came out (Was super happy to finally see a less humany-race become available in the game, which is wh y I went with Galka in XI- but the roegadyn, despite being based on the Galka, did away with the things that made me like the race which is why I switched the first time.
You'd think after enough daily character changes they'd find a setup they'd fall in love with.
People don't know what hyperbole is online.
Worth adding of course that something like this would not just be to change form one race to another but head swaps / hair swaps too. It would also usher in the possibility of unique hair styles and those would be used a lot more than race swaps.
No one is going to be a beauty pageant winner in Vana'diel. lol
My friends from FFXIV change their characters all the time yet mine hasn't changed. It's such a trauma I feel sorry for them. I like my white hair. She is so exotic.
If anything that helps FFXI I am all for it.
Please find a way to add this to the game, there are plenty of ways to add this that are not requiring of a complex UI and automated system being added. Think outside of the box to add this to the game and players would 100% be willing to pay a premium to have race/ hair swaps.
Not only is this a ridiculous wasted opportunity to make extra revenue, it is something a lot of players really want.
It does not have to be automated and I know this is why there is resistance because it would all have to be programmed, you could have it be done manually via a GM call or hire someone specifically to do it or allow a GM to make overtime money twice a month or something for $20.

Hmm, let's use some old fashioned programming techniques. I think it is possible to be done via a website just like world transfers. Data swaps in the database.
I don't really expect it to happen. A lot of work to do like replacing gender-locked/race-locked gears such as swimsuits and other things.

This is exactly what I did too. I picked a Hume because the guide book I got said they are basically a jack of all trades. Now that they changed the race stats and it's not like it once was, I'd rather be what I originally wanted to be.
It's high time they give this as an option.
The only attribute where race impact was significant was HP and MP. Also I got ridiculed early on for playing summoner on a galka but the reality is having a lower INT didn't really affect summoner at all, the MP was a bit of an issue but they minimized racial differences quite a while ago.
