    I'm glad those safeguards are in place as I've accidentally arrived on the "Are you absolutely sure you'd like to reset your retainer?" screen a dozen times now (and almost selected "Yes" on accident once.) While it would certainly be the players fault for not carefully reading what was displayed, it should be noted that taking care of retainers hourly / daily requires no thought processes now. The same number of clicks is now muscle memory at this point after doing it hundreds of times. The only thing stopping you from an accidental reset is a Yes / No selection. I agree that a Checkmark box would completely rid of any possible accidents.

    As others have said, you need to unequip your retainer's gear before you can reset their class, no matter how many yes prompts you click.

    Yeah, the only time it's actually a danger is when you're getting ready to use Retainer Fantasia (or have just used it), which also requires you to remove all your retainer's gear (I guess in case you change their race or gender while wearing race/genderlocked stuff). But even then, there are a few warning boxes you have to click yes to.
