New Character Creation V2.0 and you

[Allistar]

Just a quick edit because I'm not sure people read past the first line: This thread is not about confirming if we get to remake our character. This is about when it happens.

So everyone I've been thinking. I'm fairly confident that we will get to remake our characters with the release of v2.0. I can't remember if its been confirmed exactly or not (I'm quite lazy and don't keep up with all the patch notes) so I won't say it will be. However, I was wondering if it is how this should be added into the game or if its even worth thinking/doing something about. I'm not sure if there have been any plans like this, but I just would like to know what would you like to see happen.

Would you like it to just magically happen when you log in one day? How about talking to a certain npc and to be granted a single ticket (maybe the ticket should or shouldn't have an expiration) you can use to take you back to the creation screen. Perhaps there should be a quest involved? Maybe as the new world is being formed so will we? I'm not sure. There could be a nice cutscene or event that could happen. Maybe we can become a spirit (or zombie) for a certain time until we can obtain a new body!? Maybe you wish nothing at all to happen. Just trying to make a conversation. I apologize if this has been discussed already. ; ; I could find nothing of the such.

tl;dr - When v2.0 happens how should we be able to create a new character?

This is something I have been thinking about; we already know that we are going to get the option to create a new character, but what if that process was part of the new eorzea lore.
Let’s say for instance that you start your new character, choose class/job and wake up in whichever city you chose, instead of jumping right back into your old levels and gear and retainers and such, what if the THM guild was going around checking to see if there were any last rites they needed to perform and they find you, they got word that you did not remember who you were, but because everyone thought you were dead, now it falls on the guild to try to figure out if you’ re really alive or a manifestation of someone before the world was reborn.
This I figure we could do for the first 10 levels, sort of like a re-introduction to the world, learn the new controls, new UI, new mobs, new leveling system, new leves, and such. Whenever the guild sends you on a quest, the goblin footprint/echo event could be instrumental in reliving past major events from this version of the game. So by the time you get to level 10 we would have an idea about the new system set up in the game, and at level 10 you choose to get all your gear and stuff from this version, but if you choose to continue on from level 10, then your reward would be gear, gil, new retainer, at least 3k GC points for each of the GC, exp scrolls or something like that, of course whatever they decide would have to be really good to encourage you to continue on.
This is just an idea, thought I’d mention it.

This is a pretty cool idea too.
