Can we change race/looks/servers?

[Quesse]

The last I've heard Yoshi himself mention it was in Nov from a Q&A:

"Q: With the launch of 2.0, will we be able to change our character's gender? What about names?

A: We've had a ton of requests for race changes, so I'm thinking that it's a good idea. But are you all really okay with gender? For example, if your friend changes his gender, that may be quite shocking. System-wise it's no problem at all, so it's really up to you. It's not like you have to change gender if you don't want to, so please let me know your feedback.

With name changes, from a UI standpoint there would be problems with names being too long. So if we were to make it possible to change names in 2.0, we would most likely have to adjust the maximum length. I'd like to make this decision based on how many requests we get as well as how difficult it would be to implement.

So, if any of you have feedback, please submit it on the forums and let us know."

Haven't heard any update since then. So I would say appearance is confirmed even race, not gender or names.

That's a pretty old statement. Immediately after Yoshi said that, he got a ton of fan feedback that was overwhelmingly supporting being able to change gender.

Shortly after that devs have confirmed that you will be given a one time opportunity to completely re customize your character when ARR launches, including race, gender, looks, clan, birthday, deity, etc.

The only thing still not 100% confirmed is name changes.
