Having alts is not part of the MMO experience. That is a conscious choice YOU made for yourself, however illogical that choice may be. Nobody made you do it, and it's not necessary for you to do it to get maximum enjoyment out of the game. FFXIV is not other MMOs. There's a lot of things FFXIV does differently from WoW or ESO. The ability to do everything on a single character is a unique feature of FFXIV, thereby rendering alts completely counter-intuitive and inefficient for FFXIV specifically.

I'm quite happy with how all of them look, so they're staying as they are.

Sorry not sorry that I'm not playing with my collection of virtual dolls the way you think I'm supposed to.
People who use alts will never make sense to me. If you're happy with how they look, why would you use a fantasia? My point still stands: there's no tangible, useful, or logical reason to have alts in FFXIV. All you're doing is doubling the work for yourself.
