Okay now I think my brain is working again. After my speechless post on page one, lolol..
Oh man. This looks AMAZING. All that concept art is gorgeous (Highlander females! YESS!) and while the UI in that screenshot is.. intimidating at first, it seems really amazing too. I noticed this in the outline:

The new graphics engine will cause certain objects to display differently than they do in the current version.
Because of this, we will allow all current players the opportunity to re-customize the race, gender, and
appearance of their characters upon the implementation of the new engine.

I just hope it doesn't completely change/remove the current customization options we have now, 'cause I like my heterochromia and scars on my Miqo'te, l-lol. But that's a totally minor concern.

This is.. a lot to look forward to. I feel like I did before XIV was originally released, hyped and waiting for any more bits of news and information.

I'm shaking with excitement but worried still. Do we keep everything where we started since the beginning of the release? I need to know.

I assume we will keep gear and levels as that's what it implied when i read it...

But I better be able to change my face/hair/sex if i choose!

NVM i just saw ^ and came again
