Anyone else use a Fantasia and immediately regret it?

I do this all the time! It’s the Fantasia itch I tell you. You change because it says it’ll be fun and then it’s not so fun!

I agree with Malora... and to answer the OP, most definitely yes, I would have kept my actual main as a lala, but I had to go and change her to highlander... hindsight's a wonderful thing

[Anarnee]

Yeah, I usually regret it. I have tried high lander and raen on my main and it didn't last long. Then I had a cat girl that I changed to feel roe, male raen and finally duskwight. I think I am settled on duskwight. Wouldn't change him for the world now.

I suppose I'll confess

I've used a total of four fantasias that resulted in three permanent changes. I wanted my character to be bigger, and didn't really realize until after changing to Highlander that I still wanted my character to appear soft and feminine. Not saying female Highlanders aren't feminine, but they are not what I would call soft. I still gave it a go for a couple of days, and decided that she was just too different, and might as well change her name. I was very happy to change back, buuuuut…. I kind of held on to some residual Highlander and maxed out both her height and boob sliders.

The second set had to do with her eyes. I could never find the exact shade of purple I wanted because they are actually quite vast from one shade to the next. So I made a different choice and immediately hated it upon her next cutscene. So a couple $$ later, I changed back to the original shade but I also changed the iris size from large to small which got my character's eyes to stand how I wanted them to.

No more fantasias for Gemina, but I also really want a female Xaela character. The more I play the game, learn about the lore of the Au Ra, and see them in cutscenes, the more I fall in love. Not to mention they have the BEST /dance emote! I foresee starting another character sometime in the near future.

My poor husband. Whenever I get the urge to switch, it's basically an evening spent making and remaking characters together. Something about the lighting in the character creator doesn't do it for me. Sometimes I'll have him piggyback me to Mor Dohna so I can get the black swimsuit and run around, or I'll link my favorite glamours from my main and have him re-link those. Then, I'll have him pop in on another character so that I can compare them side by side, because I'm too cheap to take a $10 risk. It's a process. And most of the time I end up staying the way I am, too. (nw n );

[Solarra]

No, never regretted it for one moment. Fem Roe ftw!

[Khalithar]

Yes. I've realized I can't be comfortable as anything but an Elezen.

On a similar line, I’ve been contemplating changing the names of two of my characters - because I’ve known for ages that they’re not lore-accurate so I’ve never quite felt they were right as they were... now I’ve finally actually worked out what to call them instead, but I’m worried that if I actually change it, I’ll be unhappy with it.

(It would be an easier decision if it wasn’t expensive to change it!)

I once changed from a female Au Ra to a male Au Ra. While I would have liked to play as a male character and was really looking forward to it, there were two problems: My character name was still "Elrica Lavandula", which is clearly female. The other was that I prefer playing healers, especially WHM and AST. But it was so bad to look at him casting Gravity and doing all the other girly animations. I couldn't live with that, so after like 12 hours I changed back to female and just made that male Au Ra my retainer.
I still wish you could choose between a more male and a more female animation set. For example, I like Warrior, but I hate their animations on my female Au Ra. I would play it more if there was an option to have more female animations for it. I also could play WHM and AST as male characters, but I personally don't like my male characters doing girly poses unless I would create one that should be like that. I would like to be able to choose that.

not sure where you got that from but i think au ra males look just fine with the healers and the poses of the attacks
more elegant then feminine imo
