Evolution of your character

[KageTokage]

I've only changed my hairstyle from a mid length one to a short one and brightened the hue of my limbal rings a little since I started playing around six months ago.

I might play around with the new Sice hairstyle for a samurai look once Stormblood drops, but I don't see myself making any major changes, personally.

ARR Early access(I was sadly one of the ones that got fubared regarding unable to enter duties thus stuck until actual release)


Then I made a new character to switch to when my previous one was around level 45ish.




Who became hyur at the end of ARR



Au Ra at HW release(I switched between Xaela and Raen during this time)




Took a break but came back and ended up switching to Elezen


Tried out a Miqo'te


Elezen again


I would post more but would take up a lot of space :P Just gonna say after this I bounced between Lalafell, Au Ra, Elezen until I switched to Xaela Au Ra for SB

I'm far too nostalgic to only include one FFXI pic!

I'm the Hume, my boyfriend is the Galka, our characters got married in November 2005.



I was never happy with the race I played, I wanted female Galka to be added the whole time!

1.0 (I played a Miqo'te as there was still no physically strong, super-tall female option) My bf played characters that looked the same as his current ones, but we have no screenshots of them.


2.0 - 3.0 - I came back because they added Femroes! Finally I could play as a race I wanted to! We got married (again) in December 2014. :P




I went ginger at some point before Heavensward, as I am irl (although dyed ) Bf changed his hair colour to match his own also.

And today! Big jump but we haven't changed much except for my staple hairstyle has switched to the other Femroe exclusive long hairstyle.

Great topic! I mostly lurk, but for this I want to make an exception.



My FFXI character is a mithra, but the long years in addition to the most common hairstyle made me grow tired of them. During the Abyssea era I created a taru alt for dualboxing...



...Which made the choice for XIV much easier. I first planned on playing as hyur, but then I remembered my taru. So, I ended up with a lala based on the looks of my taru. Apart from many different hairstyles and colours, she has mostly gone through subtle changes.



Last summer I made a "big" change: switching to plainsfolk. Later on I decided to change back to her original eye colour, and that's the current look.

Undoubtedly I'll make more small changes (and maybe change name to one that's true to the lore,) but for SB I'm sticking to lala. I've considered trying other races, but so far nothing else has felt right.

Sadly, I don't have any screenshots from when I first started playing (ARR Beta on PS4) but the colors on my TV weren't the best, so I remember wanting to be a black cat - and I thought Seekers of the Sun had those awesome cat eyes, so I picked that with what I thought was dark grey/black skin -- only to find out once we got a new TV that it was, in fact, dark brown..oops!

So I used my in-game fantasia to change to a Keeper, and give my character a bushier tail.

Fantasia junkie! I love it.

Thank you all for your replies, it's so cool seeing all of your changes. Even those that have barely changed, seeing the characters develop is awesome.

Okay... beware, there's a lot of pics coming! This was my main look during Beta and for the majority of ARR. Once the aesthetician made his appreance, I've been changing my hair on and off but always went back to this:

3.0 came and I changed to Au'Ra:

These 2 were my main looks. I could never decide which of these 2 hairstyles I liked the most, so I swapped around a lot.



And sometimes I went for dark hair in between.

Around 8 months into HW I started to miss my kitty, so I went back. And this is where most of my screenshots come into play. Whenever I get "bored" with my look, I visit the aesthetician. And this happens A LOT:

This is usually my main look.


I've also swapped to suncat for awhile. I still use that hairstyle and color often, but I've since gone back to mooncat.

other looks I've had in no particular order:

And currently I look like this, but who knows how long it will last:


I've probably had many more, but most of the time I don't screenshot it and change back within minutes. So this is all I have to show :P
