I made a character on Balmung (L'yhan Nunh - same name as me!). It's amazing - you can now create characters with the new hairstyles! I just saved my character data and remade the exact same character. I am in Limsa!

Even though Balmung was greyed out to say you couldn't make a character there, I still tried and it let me first go. So, just give it an attempt!
