Who else is race changing?

[FallenArisen0990]

Being an Au Ra since 3.0, it's feels like a hard choice to change.. but since I'm a Fantasia and Glamour addict, I'll will be jumping back and forth each month (less than that if the addiction kicks in too high).

I didn't know where to post this, but if anyone was wondering, we are not getting a free Fantasia with the expac, like it was with Heavensward. A community manager confirmed it on the French side of the forum.

Oh well, still changing to Viera anyway

[TheUltimate3]

I have 3 fantasias left since the HW launch. Which means I can change to viera, and if I hate it go right back to Au Ra.

[NorthernLadMSP]

I've made 16 Viera so far on my Benchmark, so I'm heavily considering it.

My only hesitation is that every time I Fantasia, I always end up coming back to Lala.

[Bonbori]

Never!

The last time I attempted to race-change my kitty, she was an Au Ra for all of 2 minutes before I bought another fanta just to revert it ,_,

Then I made an alt. My time sunk into the game has doubled since then @.@

Viera are kinda cute and their faces seem to be higher-poly than the old races, so I'm tempted to make another alt... But on the other hand, I saw an overview of their emotes from the Media Tour and... mhm... ehh... They're a bit too subdued for my taste and, even worse, their ears don't seem to animate. They're just stiffly sitting on their head. It seems that in order to give them selectable ear variants, they couldn't rig them to the same bouncy bones that Gold Saucer bunny ears and the Carbuncle ears use. Or perhaps the emotes just... don't do anything with them by design. Either way, I definitely count that as a negative. I was hoping for ear-bounce.

On top of that, their hairstyle selection is very limited, and in the Benchmark they don't even seem to have access to all the shared hairstyles all other races can wear. While the few hairstyles they do have access to are amazing, especially the long voluminous ones <3, I'm still a bit afraid that if I make a Viera, the limited number of options will eventually bore me or I won't be able to put together a particular look. Maybe they'll add more hair/make some of the shared ones compatible further down the line? But as it is, their customisation seems to be poorer than the existing races'.

If their ears didn't look fake, I would consider it, but as it is if I want to look like a tall race with fake ears, I would transmog an Elezen with a bunny outfit from the Saucer.

They are so beautiful they have good run animation not arm flinging or stick up bottom. I don't usually like overly tall characters but they are not so bad and they look more mature and I like that. They have gorgeous hair even if limited I like the ones they have so I will probably change. Oh and they have fab figures.

[NekoNova]

was originally planning to swap to Viera, including name change etc, but decided to stay Lalafel, until we get male Viera

[Jojokomoko]

Can't wait for male Roegadyn to become extinct when they all change to Hrothgar

[Zeromon]

I won't change my main mostly because I've been a Roe from the beginning and partially because I've no intentions of spending money on Fantasia. My alt has 2 free ones though so I'll definitely change him to a Hrothgar.
