Personally I don't understand why people have the need to mutilate their characters which they have used for years, just make a new character instead.

07-23-2020, 04:29 PMHazama999I feel like this is one of the reasons I'm not too keen on playing that game. FFXIV spoiled me on classes/jobs. I wanna level monk? I go unlock it and get going. I wanna level astrologian? Same deal. From what I've heard, that's not something you can do in WoW and it docks major points off for me.Quote:

I am still trying to head-canon this discrepancy myself. -

The one thing I want SE to provide is to add name change service to fantasia (without adding to the cost of fantasia). Other than that, I don't mind having to use fantasia to change a character's more major features.
That's why you have to log out when you use fantasia. When you are logged out, the "reality" of the game world changes and it's like you've been the new you all along. Like my character, an au ra who has always had a miqo'te name.Quote:

I never tried it but you can't change names? Why...? I don't get it. This is rough especially for people who likes to follow appropriate naming conventions for races. -

Why would Square do it? Fantasia probably makes them as much money as subs do, and glamour + cosmetics are endgame. You're literally telling a company, "Hey stop making a crap ton of money from this feature because some other company isn't". Lastly, changing character appearance isn't huge in WoW due to limited options. Transmog are what people go for when it comes to customising their character.

In the end, he offers a different perspective from that of the World of Warcraft team. “By no means do we want to criticize anybody or say that, ‘well, this has got to be the way.’ But… so, with anything that you change like your hairstyle or putting in a color contact, something that’s more instantaneous. It’s something that you change all the time,” Yoshida begins. “But gender is such a sensitive topic because this is not something that’s instant. That’s why people are very proud of what they identify with and they try to live their lives to their fullest to express themselves and the gender that they identify with. And so do we want to treat this in a casual manner?”
Yoshida clarifies this is completely his personal opinion and that it’s something many people — including members of the team — are largely torn on. But he feels uncomfortable with the notion of something that is akin to flipping a switch. He worries that, by allowing for more freedom, “it might actually take the issue a bit too lightly.” It’s something he continues to think about as both a game designer and a person for the future of Final Fantasy XIV.
