Any ETA for when name and race changing options will be added in?

I understand that there is the current method of race/re customization options with the one time use phial, but I was also under the impression that the devs are looking into adding other ways to not only change your race, but your name as well.

Has anything been mentioned when this will be available? I'm very excited about an opportunity to change my race and name :)

nop
never heard change race and name
even in latest liveletter say nothing about it except using fantasia which change everything except name

I know for a fact they said they want to allow people to change their name.

Shame no update about it so far :(

They said it in the Vial thread. Seems like no ETA tho, sadly.

Thank you :)

I guess I'll have to be patient!

They responded to this thread already, keep an eye on it.

Oh, great, now we are the XDA forums.

They will let you change your name/sex/race if you are willing to shell out $36.00usd and still have your phail of fantasia (sp?). Not hard to do if willing to pay the price to do it.

Huh? you get a phail of fantasia on your first sub. So it costs you $13 or w/e your sub is which you pay regardless and phail of fantasia allows you a race change, so I don't know what OP is asking, but ofc the phail is limited use.

Name change can cause too much community theft, personally i wouldn't like it making it so only a server hop is the only way to change your name.

It will be added eventually (no date given) but currently the fantasia we are all given for subscribing is the only way.

In Patch 2.1 you will be able to change certain features (hair style/color, tattoos and face paint) ingame for gil at any time by going to the Asthetician or w/e they call it.

The name change was a one time thing at launch of ARR, they never said that is was goingto happen later in the future and I hope it never happen. As for race the fantasia do it and probably they will let it buy in mog station there is nothing wrong with that.

Except they did say it will happen, and many people want it to happen.

Don't worry doomsayers, it's not the end of the world. No, it won't be abused. No, they don't need to show the persons old name either. People can already change their names if they want to.

I understand that I can technically change my name if I server transferred, but I like my FC on my current server and just wish to change my race and name. No other reason to change my name beyond that I don't feel it would fit with my new race.

They said they wanted to allow this in the future, and I was just curious if they would be willing to give us on an update on when to expect this is all :)

It would be abused, its abused now, but has a consequence: You're on another server. If you can name change with no consequence, then there gunna be a hefty amount of abuse. That said, since your Lodestone ID never changes, people can find out your "old name" easily, my site even tracks people who hop server and name change, I just don't display it. Yet.
