Race Change / Character Re-customization?

Only three voices to pick from anyway and they are all the same. I would like to pick a different voice.. like maybe option number 12? Oh yea, i doesn't exist (yet?) ^^

Ya I really wish they would implement this in one point. As much as it pains me to say this, it would be nice if we could get something similar to a barber shop that WoW has now where we can change hairstyle/color(think you can do color) for a small fee(game money not real money) though if they charge crysta or something I prob would not mind because I have seen a few doubles of my character in game and I want to be unique!!!(as much as I can be, <.<)

I am not a big fan of changing RACE & GENDER....however, maybe your look with your height or hairstyle or something...I am all for it. But I think it should be in-game function where you goto a vendor and pay like 500k and get a new look. :D

I agree it would be a good point to implement customization and in particular if this is done in game (barber, tattooist...). It’s fine for me to pay in gils for such services.
Concerning the change in race/sex, by the twelve it will be a pity. I imagine “Hello friend Lalafell… oh Nophica please protect me what a f*** curse! You, you were changed in an Elezen !”. No sorry I can imagine that…
For the name I don’t be sure it will be a good idea to generalize this. Hopefully there are few “out of roleplay” names in this game.

Race change, Hair change, Body type change are all OK to implement. But there would have to be a time limit and cost. In XI world transfer was only avalible one time every 28 days and at a cost of real money. Something like this would be fine.

I actually really like my character and wouldn't change anything about her but I'm all for the idea of being able to in the future for a price. Similar to changing servers in FFXI would be fine.

No, that's how to make a powerful troll reply.

in FFXI you could do a world transfer every 3 months only.

Who're you're calling a mithra >:O

(Yes, I realize that this is an old thread, but I'd really love to see a dev response about this issue).

I actually just remade my character, mainly because I didn't realize how badly I'd missed my desired look when I originally made her. While I'm very happy with the new appearance, the idea of having to level everything all over again makes me want to cry (I've been playing intermittently since release).

+1 to this thread

Not going to read through all posts, as I'm just headed off for the night, but thought I'd post that Yoshi responded to this awhile ago and he said we'll prob get a 1 use ticket of sorts once the missing genders are released! Nothing really to worry about, he knows we don't wanna start all over when these new races are made available.

That and I'm pretty sure a ton of people would have the dev team's heads if they were denied it.

I support this. I wanna be able to switch races and have re-customization options. Specially if they are releasing other races later on.

I'm glad this was necrobumped.

I'm hoping we get to do this. All I wanna do is change my voice. The "examples" you're given when selecting a voice in the character customization are not sufficient, so I've been wishing I could change my voice without having to reroll for a long time now.

Could you possibly provide a link to the post Misha? I'd love to be able to verify this before I decide whether or not I want to remake.

There would be a 1-time race change when SE bring the missing genders ingame.
For character re-customization they are planning a barber shop

I think they mean 1 free ticket to change race when they release the missing genders.

Oh, I see. I'm sorry. One "Free" ticket is the keyword. I didn't realize they were implying more could be purchased somehow. My bad :)

I AGREE!!!! after 7 years in XI i was annoyed by the same hair style... and after a year in this game already i want a new hair style... SE says they want realize for your character, WELL people change their hair style, color, and appearance all the time.

ROFL..... If those are your current ranks why don't you just start over?

im not really for a FULL customization cause well... its kinda annoying having to look and find friends who could change their appearance every week.

i think taking the medium with hairstyle, hair color, and a moderate change of skin tone is decent enough.

"One ticket" is what they promised us, free, when they add the new races, character creation options so it would be fair since those options were not available to us when we created out characters. It does not/should not mean we are only limited to doing it once.

I mean if someone wants to remake their character everyday for real life money... More power to SE! Roll those updates in faster.

I em totally for this as well. With addition of new customization options i will most definitely want to not only change the look of my character but also the race too. Previously I wanted to go with the highlander male as my battle oriented character but I didn't like any of the hairstyles or the faces. They all looked too tribal and most of them middle-aged. So I went with the midlander instead. But with the new options I believe I might want to change to highlander and most definitely not be forced to redo all that I accomplish so far. To be satisfied with your characters look is important if you want to love it and play with it every day right?

If I had the option to be male miquote when it was first released I would have. When they release the new races I would be ok with them allowing a one-time change for those of us who wanted to be the other races to begin with.

I don't have a lot of time to play so it wouldn't be much fun starting over after a year of progress.

I wouldn't mind paying a small fee, but I think it should be very small if there is one ($5 maybe?)

@ colino new names would imply new races i see taru mithra galka hume and elvs none of that silly new nam,e old race crap @ se if you give us the gender swap option and i chose to switch my MITHRA to a MANTHRA I WANT TO KEEP MY LVLS NO NEED TO START FROM SCRATCH IT MAKES ALL THE TIME I'VE SPENT playing the flaming turd xiv used to be seem pointless you've made great strides improving the game lets use a bit of comon sens on this one and alow players to keep there lvls after gender/race/name swap

hmmm how did this got dig out from the grave yard at sep.
I thought from Reinheart translated one of the interview at July already discussed about the one time change thing...

but I didn't see any about my tail... I want my tail back :(
