So I still have my 2 (3 if you count heavensward CE?) free fantasias... and the biggest thing that stops me from actually using them is that I can't actually preview them, and if I decide I don't like it... then I'm out a minimum of 2 fantasias to just go back, more if I want to try something else.

What I mean specifically... I can't test my armor sets, job specific stances, ability/spell animations, and so on.

I would like to suggest that a preview option be added to fantasias. An example of how it might work:

* Right click on vial of fantasia > preview
* Select saved character data to load.
* Client side only your character temporarily takes on the loaded appearance. Removed after a short time or upon zoning, but one can test different armor sets, emotes, /cpose and so on.

Any alternative implementation that might mesh better with the technical side of XIV... I wouldn't really care. Really I just want a way to more thoroughly preview a race change.
