I guess they didn't teach you reading comprehension in school. I said to make everything but race and gender free. Read again.

I don't want f2p junk in this amazing p2p game.
There is a barber shop coming to change hair, hair color, face painting and tattoo. This should be enough for people who want sometime a different look.
And everyone who pay the first month get a Fantasia for free. But you can only pay your first month once, so use wise your reward.
inb4 the "pay2win" argument....
You people don't understand, charging for services like
re customization
server transfer
name changes
is perfectly fine, I'm not asking Square to go down the micro-transaction route, no way in hell am I suggesting that... I don't want custom armor, custom mounts and all that rubbish -_- but services that affect your account is hardly anything to be "anti" about. It doesn't affect the game at all, It's just personal changes for people that want to re-do their characters.
People want to change their appearance, and for a game that doesn't require alts some people want to try different races on their "main" sometimes. I can see myself playing Elezen for a number of years but I wouldn't mind swapping to a Hyur, Lalafell, etc at one point during my FFXIV life time.
Considering it's optimal to have only 1 character in this game, we'll most definitely see Phials added to the Mogstation sooner or later. It's inevitable and a good thing for people like me who like looking at new things once in awhile.
FFXI didn't have it, and you know what the majority of the PC player base did? They used Windower to change their race on the fly. From a business aspect, it would be silly for SE not to tap into the rich vein of cash that is Appearance/Race changes.
