You think we would get the option to switch races? Seeing how we didnt have the choice of these NEW RACES when we all started.

I will not search for it but I think once Bayohne replied with an answer from Yoshi saying that they would consider the one-time switch option if they add a new race.
In my opinion they should because the nature of the game itself. It's not a game where you pick a class and can only be that one class like WoW where re-rolling is not that much an issue because you level up just 1 class and crafting leveling is a no brainer. FFXIV is really different where you can level every single class of DoW/M DoH and DoL. You grow a lot more attached to your character and can end up spending a lot more time on it to level up everything.
Asking people to reroll and relevel all what one has work hard for would be really stupid. Giving the option to switch race would be the best solution. -

Yoshi-p said when they release the missing race for ps3 release they said going to give 1 free switch or something like that. then allow players to switch like every 90days maybe? who knows what they doall i know they did say they going to allow 1 free switch.

容姿や種族変更の可能性についてプロデューサーの吉田と確認してきました。
Checked with Yoshida producer regarding possibility of changing the looks or race
•髪型・髪色の変更
今後ゲーム内に床屋を実装することを検討しており、床屋を利用することで自由に変更が可能になる予定です。
Hair style, hair color change
Later in-game looking into adding a barber, by using the barber planning to be able to change freely.
•種族変更
PS3ローンチにあわせた新種族実装にあわせ、1度だけ種族を変えることができるよう検討をしています。
また種族を変更するサービスについては皆さんの声の大きさ次第では検討しますとのことです。
Changing Race
Along with PS3 launch looking into being able to change the race only once.
Also will look into race changing service depending on players voice.
•ワールド移転
PS3ローンチ時になるか、それ以降になるか現段階では何とも言えませんが、もちろん検討していきますとのことです。
Moving Worlds
Can't say if it will be at PS3 launch or after but will also look into this for sure.
種族変更のサービスについて声の大きさ次第で検討と吉田も言っていましたので、
今後もご意見ご要望お待ちしています！
Yoshida also said for race change service it's up to players voice so will be waiting for more suggestions, ideas!

I would like to see a race change service added esp since they are adding more races than the missing genders...

First, to coincide with the PS3 launch, we will be adding female Roegadyns and other genders to those races that are currently lacking. The next step is to look into new races.

Even with the addition of new races aside from the male Miqo'te and female Roegadyn, it doesn't necessarily mean the new races introduced after them will be playable. I wouldn't mind if they were simply NPCs, if for the sake of lore and whatnot.
-
08-20-2011, 01:05 PMNabiriCorrect. It was never stated whether or not they would be playable. :3Quote:

I would hope the devs know that introducing a cool new race to XIV, but it not being playable, would kinda be a slap in the face lol... I mean they could have easily done it with Male Mithra in XI, but they didn't. Therefore I find it hard to believe they would here.

But yeah, it'd be an epic troll to say "Sure we'll add more races," in a thread full of people asking for "playable" races, and then having them not be so. lol -
08-20-2011, 03:01 PMZenaku
he said they be "playable" why would he say he giving out a free race change when the ps3 come out if they wont be "playable"? got to use your head :)
-
08-20-2011, 03:32 PMNabiriIt seems you're talking about something else. We weren't talking about the missing genders.Quote:

We were talking about brand new races being added in the future. Where Yoshida-san only said they would be added. Nothing about playable or not. Again, here:

What I was saying was.. although it is likely Yoshida-san meant that new races would be playable.. (since the thread Bayohne quoted him in was speaking of playable races.. see here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...681#post297681), it's still not a good idea to assume anything either way.
Edit: Since you brought up the missing genders, I have not seen Yoshida-san say anything more about being able to change gender/race when they're added at PS3 release. Only that he was looking into the possibility. May I please have a link to where you claim he said it was a sure thing? -
08-20-2011, 03:57 PMZenakuThey want to add race that are unique to eorzea which sound nice. I think they be playable but i don't think they allow other face switch lol.Quote:
