Using a Fantasia before 3.0 Maintenance

You get a free Fantasia if you buy the Collectors Edition of the expansion.Though I think they said we won't receive it till the official day of the expansion, along with all the other goodies.

Its been a long time since Ive used a phantasia but iirc.. You cant be wearing gear when you initiate the change so if you use one in advance make sure you log out naked as well or youll have to get on and strip yourself anyway.

Great, thanks so much for the info!

I still have 2 fantasias left. The bonus one from 1.0 and the one form 30 days sub time.

Auu yeah! Thanks for the confirmation.

To bad the patch notes say this is incorrect for those of us getting collectors, or other physical copies.

Upon registering FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward to your service account, the Au Ra will be a selectable race when creating new characters, editing your character's appearance using fantasia, or hiring a retainer.

Does this mean no Au Ra for early access? Since you we won't be registering the HW code till we get it?

I would really like to know this too. An answer from the reps would be very appreciated :)

How so?? I don't understand how the part you quoted contradicts being able to change in early access?

My guess is that Early Access code works like a temporary VIP Game Code, if not there would be no reason for us to even enter Ishgard.
But, that's just my own view of it.
