Your Character, then, and Now.

Soooooooooooo.... I was digging through screenshots, and found some of when I first hit 70 with WHM and WAR, and.... wow. My character has undergone some much needed changes, lol.

WHM October 2017:

WAR Now:

o.O

I'm really curious to see the "Then/Now" of other players as well :)

Here's my bard, from her early days as a wee baby archer to her current look. I love that the glamour dresser makes it easy to maintain her classic attire.

I got a new computer in 2016, so nothing earlier for my main character unfortunately. Here he is back in 2016 in my oldest screenshot I have of him:
https://i.imgur.com/mX0QebW.png

And here he is now:
https://i.imgur.com/AZyxEx0.png

Amusingly, he's gone through several different haircuts in the interim, but currently has the same one.

Bonus: I uploaded a screenshot to another site of one of my alts from the beta test back in 2011 once the NDA was lifted, so here's that one even though it's not the same character. They were on Saronia, and now exist on Hyperion.

And here's their "now" in the live game:

They're still level 1 with no progress at all!

Neat! I've been threw a few changes but here's when I started and then now.

I'm certainly not what I'd call a veteran of the game, but I've been here for a while.

Here's the second ever screenshot of my character back in the early days of 2016 (1st screenshot was potato-quality), having recently hit 60 on Monk and done a few runs of the Weeping City of Mehanics:
https://i.imgur.com/iyhDZpT.jpg


And here's my character now, 1 /gpose and 256 screenshots later, in the early days of 2018:
https://i.imgur.com/8lkUrnk.jpg

I've gone through several fantasia, but I'd like to share my then and now through my character's relationship with our favorite NIN, Thancred Waters:

Today:

New look and glimglam since I've been using the same glamour for about two years, it's about time for a change. Will probably go back to being a cat eventually, I always seem to go back.

I have changed from then:

to Now:

just a tad

Not the oldest pic, but my character looked the same up to this point:

And now:

https://i.imgur.com/wmKtQdE.jpg

When I first started the game, didn't have glamour unlocked yet:

After my first Fantasia, shortly after unlocking Glamours(my appearance changed a LOT after my first fantasia, but that's too many screenshots):

After my second Fantasia:

Now:

Mostly subtle changes in 5 years. The most dramatic change was going from dunes to plainsfolk. I've been using this hairstyle and colour for a while now; I've tried to change but I always go back.

Really love this look, the chocolate skin with the black scales! To die for.

Then, 2013 (was like, the only good picture I had):

Now, 2018:

Unfortunately, if I linked every single screenshot of the 30 fantasias between then and now this page would take several minutes to scroll through. But I always find my main character returning to my female roegadyn design.

What a transformation! My heart breaks for your Roe, however. </3 ;-;

These threads always make me sad, since I used to have screenshots of way back when I was a moon kitty named Ceci. I at least still have art of her past forms.

http://i.imgur.com/GgxvtmQ.png

With Heavensward though, I had my chance to become a "tiefling." And that I did. I had an original design for that was more tan with pinkish-purple hair.

Finally in Stormblood, she went through a more minor transformation to the slate skinned, piercing blue eyed, snowy white mane you see these days:

Please keep in mind I only started last December, I started embarrassingly as this midlander.

But then I learnt my lesson and improved on my character greatly!

I enjoyed my Roe time indeed, but I had some free fantasia's to burn.

Best I could put together. Subtle changes, but generally haven't changed much. :)
