SPOILER WARNING - Would you accept injuries to your character?

As long as it doesn't impede the gameplay, I'm for it.

It would be a good thing to anchor your character deeper into the world. The most important flaw of MMO characters is that the world has no impact on them (And frequently, they have no impact on the world). Yes, you choose and build your character like you want, but you don't control everything in the world.
Make a mistake and you might get injured...you can lost one of your comrade, one of your mount, etc...

But you'd have to tie it to choices so that not everyone would have the same results.

I'd expect this in something like Mass Effect or another roleplay-heavy game. I don't see FFXIV as a roleplaying game as you get to make very few choices of your own that impact the outcome, you're just following the scripted story. So I wouldn't care or use it. There's very little immersion as it is, the memories are all made with other players.

I'm all for unlocking the options at the aesthetician via battle achievements! But yeah, I'd rather not get random scars because I have to go through a quest my character wouldn't even participate in just because content I would like to play is locked behind it.

Completely agreed, and adding scars to the Aesthetician as options based on achievements is a great idea.
