Keep Fantasia as a sub reward

[Zfz]

I'm playing 2 characters on different servers at the moment simply because I love both races. I would be perfect if I could reduce that to one character, and get a Fantasia potion say every 6 months so I can switch into the other race.

But then it does feel weird to allow people endless switches like that, even if it's limited to 2 switches per year. Maybe make it 1 per year. Get the first one on 30 days veteran, the next at 360 days, and then every 360 days you get another one. And make them stack+untradable would be nice.

But then again each of my characters have names that conform to the lore...although I know a lot of people really couldn't care less or they won't be running around with names like Super Man or You Tube or Jacky Chen or whatever they think is funny.

I don't really understand why its strange to change character appearance.. its a strictly personal thing. If you roleplay with others, you'll probably make the choice yourself not to morph into something else overnight. Even for people walking around in the world.. what gear people have becomes recognizable, with the right armor is hard to tell which gender someone is even.

My main point is.. due to the character design around one character.. Fantasia shouldn't be a privilege.. it should be provided cheaply and regularly.. it should be more compensation for the lack of variety from the 1 class design. Definitely not sold as a paid addition. My opinion anyway

Fantasia shouldn't be a privilege.. it should be provided cheaply and regularly.

Not just appearance, but the race and gender, i.e. the "core" of a character. I don't think we should be able to change that too regularly. I'm just leaning towards the 1-year mark as opposed to every 3 months. For appearance, we're getting the barber shop anyway for hairstyles, beard, face paint, etc.. Those we should be able to change every day, heck, every five minutes if we want. Just charge gil for that.

But for things like eye color, race, gender, shape of the nose...the things that a character is "born" with, I think there should be a much longer "cooldown" to any change.

What I feel strange is to change into any race we like, regularly, in short intervals.

Obviously, the lore reason is that it's really just a illusion (one that lasts, but still just an illusion), so perhaps it makes more sense to make it much more readily available. But definitely not sold at Mog Station.

We pay 10,000 seals for redistributing our physical bonuses; maybe it makes sense to also require more or less the same in-game investment for Fantasia? (In addition to the per-n-month veteran reward.)
