I don't think other MMOs have had hybrid creation be accessible, and it seems like it would give us the best of both worlds if they didn't skimp out on features we could choose from. Because I will gladly agree: Lalaqo'te would be pretty adorable. And people could mix Roes and Au Ra for some truly fierce or sexy creations.

So if a f2p from 2008 could get the system going, it's not too difficult for today. But their entire combat system was pretty different from FF14. No classes, all characters could learn every skill in the game from various schools of skills (save race specific). Their class or "destiny" system only grants growth bonuses. You can use any skills you want whenever you want. But FF14 is also not that far from that school of thought. Even if it was cosmetic or if you got some kind of bonus for changing to a kid for awhile, it would be fun.
