How to get more than one character

[Zullala]

I'm really sorry if this has been asked before. I swear I searched for the answer <_<! I've been trying to find out and I'm just not able to. How can I make a new character? I would like to be able to play on more than one server ^_^.

Thank you and sorry if this has been answered before. If it has, could I get a link to that thread?

This will help you out:

• Log into your SE Account!
• Under Services and Options on the bottom Left, choose Select Service
• Hit the text or image of FFXIV now on the main page to the right
• On the next screen under Active Service Accounts, choose Options List
• At the top of the next screen is Character {how many slots avail.} and "Add New Option" ~ select that
• On the next page is a FAQ of charges, read it if you like or select Next at the bottom
• This next page is a drop down box to select how many characters you want to unlock with the Crysta fee listed, but don't worry about that as there is no charge for anything currently.
• Choose one or more and select next
• And on the next page it'll detail your selection with a red "Add Options" button to finally confirm a new character slot.
• The final screen will be the same with a red "Done" button that will return you to your overall account details page.

So yeah, I havn't done this in awhile, and that is just insanely complex just to add another character...its like what were they thinking? I understand why they want to charge for additional characters based on how it worked in FFXI, but sheesh...

Wow, thank you!! That was soOooo helpful!

Yeah, I don't know why it is so hard to do <_<. It really could have been a trillion times easier. Also, I find it irritating that you have to pay for your first character. Like why don' they just charge the $12 and then have your first character already set up. That was so annoying =_=.
