You're missing the point: Retainer Fantasia allows you to use a retainer to model and refine a new character model for your character. You can do multiple refinements of the look using multiple Retainer Fantasias, trying them out under real lighting and with different outfits, before using a real-money Fantasia to apply it to your character.
Given the new graphics update and what we've seen of its effect on characters, this may be something you want to do.
Not everyone wants to spend $9 a pop refining the look of their character after DT launch.
