Good for you. Gotta protect yourself from future back pains.

Which is why I swear those who draw or mod their characters with absurdly huge breast don't understand how much back pain amongst other things mammary glands that huge bring or can bring. If that's a look that you like then please at least show them wearing proper shape wear that'll give them enough support and to one's back. Also do some research there some styles that do a good job of making it look like there's a whole lot more there than there is. For you know if you want it to look like they got a lot of cleavage.

Probably feels as much fun as it looks.

I've been very sparce with my use of Fantasias throughout my time with my main.

My first one was to be a Miqo'te, as Hyur was just not clicking with me, but that was like only a couple weeks after I started playing.
I then used another one when Heavensward came out and I remained an Au Ra for almost seven years. At the time, the race spoke to me and I didn't feel like changing into anything else.
My third and latest Fantasia was right before Endwalker launched. Both my sister and I figured the small schoolgirl aesthetic of the Au Ra wasn't clicking with us as much anymore, and we both swapped to Viera.
I haven't felt a need to use another Fantasia since.

Any time I make a character for any RPG I end up making them idealized versions of what I'd like to be, so I grow attached and I'm just not one for the Fantasia spam, but that's just me.

Started as a Lala, *loved* her but couldn't stand the way 90% of the clothes fit. Used my free fantasia to become Hyur. Probably would have just stayed with that, but I commented to a friend that if I had another I'd totally go FemRoe and he offered to pay for it if I was serious. Can't picture my WoL any other way now, would only ever maaaaaybe adjust her skintone a little (but not willing to spend real $ to do it). I've gotten over my hate of the clothes on Lalas with my alt, lol

It's really bad, let's just say. Made finding exercising gear a chore.

I used my free fantasia to change my deity because it turned out the one I chose originally didn't fit my character.

I can't even change my hair without thinking "Damn I looked better before this" lol. I think I just got lucky that what I made at the start was something that I really liked (apart from my hair). After 1 month of changing hairstyles, I got one that clicked with me and haven't really changed since then. My free fantasia will stay hidden in the storage.

Consumed a Fantasia a few weeks ago to become a Miqo'te, mostly because I was getting turned down for RP because I was a Lalafell.

3 hours later, had to go back to my Lalafell. I had absolutely no connection to the new character. None. I looked at her in cutscenes, and I just got sad because she wasn't mine. She was an imposter.

I made one of my retainers look exactly the same as my old Lalafell, but that just made me even sadder.

So, yeah. Two fantasias in the span of three hours.

Yet, I see people dropping Fantasias like they're sick beats.

People I know are changing their race/look every week.

Do you guys not have personal connections do your characters?

---

I certainly do.

I've never used a Fantasia and I can't honestly say I intend to do so though I do still have the free one that the MSQ dropped at some point. Not really sure why I haven't discarded it to be honest.

Though it may sound silly to some, I feel like I shared the journey (MSQ) that my character went on. I feel it's a true indicator of the quality of the game/story/writing that there were several instances during it where I, for lack of a better description, felt what my character was feeling. Further to that, the moment, during the cutscene at the conclusion of the main Endwalker scenario, where our character is acknowledged as 'The Warrior of Light' (which everyone screenshots) cemented it for me.

So I can't bring myself to use a Fantasia - to me it would take something away from the connection. I also spend a lot of time rewatching MSQ cutscenes through the Unending Journey, and though I can't really explain it, for me it just wouldn't feel quite the same.

As a D cup, it's... not fun. My back constantly has a vague achiness and they're *heavy*. And I'm not even as big as your roommate!

I love character creation and trying new styles. I have loved Viera since FF12 and was one for the first two and a half year I played. However I don't go out for dinners, out for coffee, or go to malls, or buy many other things, we don't have cable, etc. So the occasional fantasia is like a treat. I am mostly a farm gal that uses FFxiv to get lost in the creativity. I am not an RPer, yes I Fanta lots depending on what I like at the time. Since becoming disabled it's helped me express my creative side because I can't paint anymore.

You may feel above others who Fanta a lot, but we all have value and do things for reasons some may not understand and that's perfectly fine.

My characters personality goes deeper than her outward appearance.

What's even funnier is I've seen girls both bigger *and* smaller say "I wish I had your problem!" from opposite sides of the spectrum with opposite reasoning, not realizing that it's just. Horrible.

They actually constrict my breathing, cause hygiene issues (much like how fat rolls can develop a ... stench regardless of how often you wash them, just by the nature of what they are), and the only relief I get is when I'm like. With my fiancee and she lifts them up and holds them. It's INSTANTLY easier to breathe, my back can straighten without pain, and the consistent clavicle-to-chest ache just disappears.

I can't wait til I can save enough money to just yoink them off.

I work a later shift than my roommates and I'll come home and make dinner only for there to be like 2 bras just left on the table. They can't wait to get that off when they get home. Both my roommates are bi/lesbian so the topic of boobs comes up quite often. They both tell me boobs are fun to look at and play with but lousy to own.

I could never change my character's looks that much, she was made perfect the 1st time no need to change.

I used to be a fanta addict. I played au ra and was constantly changing faces, eyes, something was always “off”...

Since Viera came, at first I didn’t feel that confident to play them because they reminded me of real life and I hated myself. The amount of time men and women told me I was “too tall, no you can’t wear this it looks too short on you and you’ll look sl*tty, no you can’t put heals you’ll be taller than me” etc. really got to me, so in fantasy settings I was choosing the opposite, who I deemed as the perfect type of woman and who I thought I wanted to be, a small little au ra who doesn’t need to hide in long hoodies because a skirt looks cute on her and not “inappropriate”.
This was of course all regardless me absolutely loving Viera from the start but self hate sucks and makes no sense. Lack of confidence and years of being told there’s something wrong with you, can really bring you to seeing everybody as good looking except yourself.

Then with time I decided to give them a try, and here we are a year later after having used fantasias at least once a month (yeah I judge myself too but I was immature and dumb af) I stayed a Viera without changing for long, except into boy bun to try it out but I always missed the feminine so I turned back after a week or so.

I did “fine-tune” her twice, but I think at the moment she is pretty much perfect, (except I caaaaaaant decide on the eaaaaars!!!!!).
I can’t imagine getting rid of her as my main, and each time I tried due to headgear limitations, it wouldn’t last a day. I would instantly feel as if that other character isn’t relatable whatsoever (possibly why I was never happy with my au ra), not just in looks but lore-wise as well.
I mean come on, I get to be a bunny living in a forest, part of a female society - my forest sisters, and frolic the hell out of whatever fields I see. I feel at home. I love Cinnabun and in a way she helped me be less hard on myself.

Now I know what you’re thinking and no I don’t see my therapist anymore, inflation got out of hand, so thanks for listening :3!

I clicked on this topic thinking it would be directions on the intricacies on properly drinking a fantasia someone made, and what flavor profile it had.

I am...disappoint.

I personally think my character has a chin to cut steel in an industrial factory, but I never had the heart to change her, not even her hair style after unlocking crystal bell.

Your viera is great! She looks good, and is super unique! I like a lot of your glamours and how often you share them over in the viera thread! I'm going to need to go back and like quite a few of them, from the period I wasn't even subbed. Yep. I was still lurking that thread.

My current Cycle of fantas:
Midlander > Midlander (made slightly taller) > Xaela Aura > Sun Miqo > Moon Miqo > Xaela Aura > Moon Miqo > Bun > Sun Miqo > Raen Aura.

I'll likely change back to a Sun Cat (as I feel like it's my "main") I just like trying out different characters a lot of the time, but I generally stay as a sun Miqo for my MSQ stuff cuz I feel most attached to that character.

I also have this trend of always having white hair and red eyes for some reason even when changing character.

I used to change a lot when they first allowed it..this was mainly because I have played almost 13 years and my original character a Miqo did not feel right to me.

I tend to go between my Midlander and my moon cat depending on how I feel.

I just feel it is the same character and I am attached, I guess I see it like a regen of Dr Who!

Wow thank you so much! It means a lot <3!
I was wondering if you’re ok since I haven’t seen you on the thread anymore but I see youre a pretty miqo now! That’s actually my favourite miqo face but can’t really decide between sun or moon.

Nope! I switched back to my rava.. My avatar hasn't updated.. But yes, this is the BEST miqo'te face, and mooncat is the best. :) I'm only very recently being a bit more active, in anticipation of the patch.

This was a switch when I wasn't really logging into the game at all, beyond switching DC, and bidding on a new house. I was mostly just playing around with the suncat look and a couple glams one time late at night. I was taking a bit of a break from the game, even let my sub go for a bit.

I've only used a Fantasia to go Lallafel on a bet with my boyfriend.

Both of us focused hard on keeping as much of our 'look' between the two. Similar haircuts, tatooes, faces.

It was extremely fun, though I don't think I'll do it again.

It updated now! Oh I hope you managed to get the house! I was planning on doing the same but I have a tiny fc that’s already quite levelled so I stayed, I hope that with the new patch I might be able to land a large Goblet house!
I absolutely love the suncat skintones, even on the lightest one, they have this perfectly bronzed undertone!

Most of the private larger houses are gone, if not all gone, by now on Marilith at least, but the FC wards have quite a large amount of them last time I checked, at least here. I don't know the situation on EU or other worlds on this DC specifically. I just got another small for now, I kind of missed the window for a larger house, and I didn't (don't) have enough gil even for a medium. I ended up moving into a neighborhood and beating out a guy who was trying to move in close to his friends (who bid late I might add). I wouldn't have bid there if I had seen him bid prior to me. I digress.

Yep, that is what I was doing with that particular look. That specific hair color, and lipstick color, kind of matched her slightly tanned skintone fairly well. Although, with that preset, I was kind of wanting to make her a bit more tanned. Still, I think mooncat looks better overall, and weirdly, I don't really like the suncat eyes as compared to the mooncat. I know a lot of people like the miqo'te cat eyes. Plus mooncats have fangs!

Former Fantasia-Addict here. :D

I've been playing this game since a long time now. Started of as Lalafell, then changed to Miqote...and after that first Fantasia, I used to change my characters race and looks almost every two weeks.

It was very weird. No matter how happy I was with my characters looks at the moment of change, it always felt like something was wrong or didn't fit after a while. I was simply never satisfied.

Sometimes I wanted to play as a Lalafell again...at other times I wanted to be an Aura and then a Miqote because of just some teenie tiny detail that annoyed me.

But I am proud to say that since Endwalker dropped, I have not used a Fantasia again. :D

With Male Viera being released as a playable Race, I'm now totally at peace with my character. Sure, I'm still changing his hairdo or color from time to time. But the rest? It's just per-fec-tion to me. :o
It's like I found what I was waiting for - or missing with the other races - all this time.

Edit: However, I still have some alts with other races I like to play with from time to time. Still, I'm also not using Fantasias on them. :D They are good the way they are.

Starting to get the itch again. Can't decide what to do, though. Back to Viera or Au Ra? Or try something new? I dunno.

(Before someone says it, no, not lalafell. Tried it with an alt, it's just not for me.)

Highlander.

I sometimes fantasia into other races because being a lalafell since ever, I get ignored or whatever so I just turn into something else to avoid that. A shame because I also enjoy roleplaying with my lalafell, had some good times with it since i play a comedy relief character, but "lalafell bad because" and I just lose patience and stop caring, yadda yadda.

But in truth, I just prefer to go lalafell and heck I might return to my original lala one day - this is more like a different thing, but i really miss my original red-headed lalafell. So one day i might go back to her and stick with it. Even if it means zero chats...actually that sounds great, why the heck didn't I think that before?!

On the other hand, I have alts when I'm bored so that helps too.

I can't imagine changing anything about Camille. He and I have been through an awful lot together, and I cried in ShB when he was hurting. He's my baby.

Well, I don't fantasia often, but things like, say, something about having to chase a certain cerulean-crowned child an additional time for each alt definitely makes the ten bucks feel like more worthwhile of an investment if I do want another look :)

Well, I do it by working it into my character's story.
My character sometimes switches from male lalafell to female au ra.
Think Ranma 1/2.

Now, this is strictly for RP reasons and used to happen maybe once every four months or so. Nowadays I barely have time to play the game, let alone RP, so I haven't fantasia'd in a bit more than a year, I think...

I still have much more of an attachment to my character's original appearance so whenever I have switched, it has never really lasted very long. The one thing that always threw me off a bit is that I maintained the lalafell name even when fanta'd to au ra so that's a bit weird... then again, in-world people don't just have their names floating above em so... /shrug

Any character I make, I get 3 free Fantas. I've used 2 of 3 on my main since I went au ra after HW dropped for funsies (did the same from lala to au ra on my other main) but I used that chance when I changed back to her regular look to change her voice because while I liked the sample they had for the /chuckle for her original voice I chose, the actual /laugh was godawful, so her voice changed into something similar but it wasn't a... horse laugh... anymore lol.

I have a couple of Fantas stashed for when I do an RP story that's been in the works for a bit with voidsent possession, but no idea when it'll end up happening. Just... eventually. :D So, one for the change to an au ra for the look, one for the change back when it's cleared up someday. Otherwise, I only really use them to change minor things on a character when I make them like voice or skin tone or "god i thought that nose was different but no, it's terrible".
