Do we need a petition to make it possible to change the starting city-state?

THIS is a problem especially for legacy players. We can't just delete the character and reroll another class. I had the same problem and posted a while back:

for you, you mean and it is your own fault for skip everything. My city state in 1.0 was Gridania, and in 2.0 is Limsa lominsa

My question, can I change the starting city by any means (maybe with the vetran reward "phial of Fantasia")?

Thanks,

As someone with (two) Limsa Lominsa citizen certificates on my wall, holy crap please let us change our citizenship.

When I logged into my 1.0 character, I didn't think something like that would change for my character, I didn't even notice it had defaulted me to starting as a Gladiator and therefore Ul'dah, and if I had, I wouldn't of thought it important because it was an established character. My character was a Lominsan! Why would that suddenly change for my character in 2.0?

It may not bother or be important to some people, but it does bother me.

Hello,

When starting the game and selecting a starting class, you will be assigned to the city-state where that class resides. However, we understand that some users wish to belong to a different city-state even though they started with a specific class. We are currently looking into a system that will allow you to change your city-state affiliation, and we are doing our best to have this ready for patch 2.1.

Do We need a petition to Square Enix for city-state change to be able?

Your starting city-state stops mattering when you do your first dungeons; the storylines merge at that point. Your city of origin is not even identified on your character sheet any more, as it was in 1.x. What matters after your first few days of play will be your Grand Company, and you won't choose that until level 20, and it is, I understand, changeable.

Actually it lists your city on your profile page under character settings.

I'd simply would like to be able to get the stories from the other nations and not just the one you happened to pick. Might have no real effect in the main story side of things when you are choosing the Grand Company but it is a different version of the first 15 levels roughly up to the mage and gargoyle fight. Plus the less important reason, 3 city-states...3 achievements...1 for completing whichever you happened to start in with the other two just sitting there.

Unless I missed something where you could get those stories somehow later on.

What benefit would there be to change your city-state unless you can go back through the beginning of the main story? As it is you can't repeat quests, so I really don't see the reason why someone would want to do it apart from RP reasons.

I've seen a few quests where people commented that they're from Gridania, just like me (for example, the sellsword quest giver in Camp Dragonhead), so it's not entirely discarded after the main storyline merges together.

Psychologically? Really?
