Sell Fantasia on the Mogstation

I agree with this. Making the service available would be fantastic.

I can understand why some people would be scared to open the 'cash-shop' door, but this would only be an optional service to allow people to change their appearance, similar to someone transferring to another server.
Square Enix would NOT be offering minions/gear/gil in exchange for real world currency, therefore no harm can be done to your 'gameplay experience'.

They use the word 'optional services' for a reason, it's not required.

Some of us are more fickle than other.
Some of us just want a change of character.
Some of us made mistakes making ours (or changing them).

In the end, the service won't affect you if you don't use it, think about it carefully before jumping onto the 'cash-shop' band-wagon.

Regardless of what happens, I just want the option to be there...

Here's an idea.. whenever you purchase 30 days, 60 days, etc etc.. let us choose which Veteran Reward we want mailed?

I actually like this idea too, it would have to be A LOT of seals.

Definitely with a limitation.

paid services like character appearance/name change and server transfer are a fairly normal practice

selling items in game like costumes and mini-pets is where the whole slippery-slope phenomena begins

Character appearances were the only way to tell certain baddies (eg, those who stole extremely rare gear or large sums of gil, not just "I don't like this guy" or "this guy is a bad player") from their LSs back in XI when said character changed their names after they moved servers. There were specific sites that were devoted to warnings. Anyone remember the person who faked their own death?

So yes, appearance is important. I vote for limiting it to once and once only.

And for the love of God, no. I don't want cash shops in any form. There's a reason why we're paying a monthly fee.

Please enlighten me to WHY a cool down on a service to only change my character's race/gender needs to be in place? That's absurd... It affects NO one at all other than my visual senses as I'm playing.

I hope they do add it because it's a service I'd use every few months probably. It needs to be real $ as well and it should be character bound.

Stop comparing it to f2p games and their cash shops.

Seriously? You realize you are not playing XI here. You are telling me the race/gender of a toon is how you will tell when someone is a 'baddie' if they've transferred from a different server and have a new name? You can't be serious...

People will abuse options for world-transfers as well as appearance changes, that's a fact.
That's essentially like saying; "One person stole an apple, so no apples for anyone else!"

If they don't offer minions/gear/weapons, it's fine.

As you can already see the minions, Odin/Behemoth gear and summer wear aren't purchasable for real world currency.
It's a slippery slope, but as long as they don't offer anything above changing your characters gender/appearance we should be fine.

(At least people can't steal gear anymore) The Need/Greed/Pass system is makes it very difficult to 'steal' anything.

Since you could get tired of your looks, so perhaps just have it where you can only change so much for the recurring one (less than the 1 month version, but more than the Barber Shop)

I feel the same about GW2, GW1 on the other hand did it much better.
