Phail of Phantasia - Re-editing your character.

Hi there fellow 1.0 players!

If you've noticed, you have mail. That mail contains a potion called 'Phail of Phantasia' which allows you to (upon re-logging) edit your characters appearance!

This is a note to all those who plan on using this potion.

When you're on the character selection screen and it asks you to 'Cancel and use the SUBCOMMAND screen' (I was oblivious to what this "subcommand screen" was or how I could access it), you need to RIGHT CLICK your characters name... I know, right?

This may just be me being stupid but I had no clue how to get to the subcommand screen.

Well, hopefully this helped!

Regards,

Sir Serious.

Can we rename our characters?

I'm editing my character as we speak Evan, but I don't think we can. The second I'm done, I will post here immediately!

i didnt get it and aim legacy 1.0 from release :S do i have to subscribe or something firsT?

The phial really should come with a name change. I really don't want to change my race/gender if I am going to be stuck with a name created from Square Enix's official naming conventions...

[NA] Regarding the Character Appearance Change of Your Version 1.0 Characters(Sep. 5)

We have determined our course of action to address the situation wherein players were unable the load their character data from the official benchmark when changing the appearance of their FINAL FANTASY XIV Version 1.0 characters. Please see the details below.

[Character Name Change]
If you experienced an issue when trying to change your Version 1.0 character's name upon logging into A Realm Reborn for the first time, please fill out and submit the form below by Sep. 10, 2013, 7:59 a.m. (PDT).

Character name changes will begin from Sep. 11, 2013 in the order in which they were received. After your request has been processed, the Character Name Change Screen will be displayed the next time you log in, and you will be able to change your character’s name.

Please note that once you receive the Character Name Change Screen, you will no longer be able to choose the same name your character currently possesses; you will have to choose a different name. Please be aware of this when you submit your request.

*Official Support Center Form

[Character Appearance Change]
Players that experienced issues changing the appearance of their FINAL FANTASY XIV Version 1.0 character when starting A Realm Reborn will receive a consumable in-game item called “Fantasia.” Using the item in game will allow you the opportunity to edit your character's appearance. The Fantasia will be sent via the Moogle Delivery Service in the order in which requests were received.

Please note that because Fantasia is a rare item, a character cannot possess more than one at a time. If you already possess a Fantasia (obtained as a Veteran Reward, for example), please use your existing Fantasia in your inventory before receiving the new one from the Moogle Delivery Service.

I would consider a name change but they are specifically saying it should be used for people that had trouble renaming their character. I would like to get someone from SE to officially say they don't mind if people who didn't explicitly have trouble renaming use the name change application.

I believe if you send in a request, it may be something they can sort out for you.

I am hoping to get the attention of a moderator here. Can we use the name change application even if there wasn't a problem with naming our characters? If I change my look with this phial, I would like to change my name with it.

Thanks you!!

When do 2.0 characters get these phials?

When they have subscribed for 1 month, as a reward from the veteran program.

Is the phial will rewarded to ALL players after playing for a month or is it only for certain players who have played in CB/early access or something? o.o

This one is the do-over for the clusterfrak that happened during OB/EA... everyone will get one after their 30 days of being subbed.

Give it time. I just got mine tonight at 9pm. I am sure you will have one soon if you are legacy! :D no you don't have to subscribe to anything. They know you are a 1.0 player.

Stop posting this as a solution to changing your name. This is ONLY for people who had trouble changing their 1.0 characters names during their free remake.

This does not cover new 2.0 chars created on a 1.0 account, 1.0 chars that did not have this problem or 2.0 chars on 2.0 accounts with veteran rewards.

Calm down...

First off this is the first time I ever reposted this in any thread ever. Secondly The OP didn't specifically ask "which" name change option, so how was I supposed to know any different?

I have a question about its use. Does it start the CC process all over again or does it load the existing design and allow you to alter whatever you want? In my case I simply want to change the hair and eyes, not do a complete redesign. Wondering if I need to take notes on the design I have now before I use the phial.

where i can obtain other ítem fantasia?

This is a solution for a 1.0 account with 2.0 characters. I got to change my character's names today :)

Both. You can load a pre existing model or start from scratch.
