Why would you not be able to use the new customization when you can recustomize? Why would they lock of selections to you? makes no sense.

This has been known for months now. They had it in interviews since about e3 2012 =) So hope that makes you happy!

Players would not to ask this stuff if they kept up with the scoop.

Also the 9 new voices are the new voices recorded for each language pack. 3 new German, 3 new French and 3 new Japanese. I think it's cool that they are unique and don't replace each other and can be used across all language packs. It's a simple and very cool touch imho.

That is brilliant, well done.

I also liked that when selecting a class when you get a preview of the AF, it gives the player a very good idea of the type of class it's going to be and how baddass you can look. The different lighting settings is an awesome idea, other mmos should really follow suit and do that too as skin color and features can look different once you're out in the world.

I was really hoping to see new hairstyles though, I fervently hope you will add some come beta.

You know, part of me wants to agree with you because I've been trying to keep up with everything lately. However, that's just churlish. Not everyone spends a significant, or even small amount of time keeping up with FFXIV news. Most of us have a large number of interests and obligations that take up our time. Posting a question in a thread allows us to quickly follow it and get the answer.

That being said, I think the character creation video is excellent. It brought back that excitement you feel when getting a peek at something new you're eagerly anticipating. I like the new choices, I'm pleased with how quickly your choices load, I'm very pleased with the different backgrounds and movement options. As we're only seeing 2 race options, I'm fairly certain that the full release will have some additional choices available.

Also, even though it's been said before, thank you to the devs for posting this for us! Keep the teasers coming
