Just wanted to clarify just a tiny bit: The comment from Yoshida during the LIVE video was mainly geared toward being able to change gender, specifically. Not so much about being able to change race. He was talking about changing from a Roegadyn male to a Miqo'te male being relatively understandable ("hey you lost weight!") but that it might be shocking to go from Roegadyn male to a Lalafell female.

It was vague in our Twitter post about it, so I'm hoping to dispel the misinformation now.

How about the 7th umbral era kills everyone except a few people who train in the art necromancy and ressurect the people killed but it goes wrong.

One "Hulan Temet", check, let's see... Male, Hume, average height, average weight, armorer by trade. Hmmm, are those cat ears? Well, close enough; Next!

Apparently things in quotes don't count towards the 10 character limit.

I think when people talk about switching genders, they are primarily talking about switching to the currently inaccessible genders (male miqote, female highlander, or female roegaedyn). Since it was never an option before it would be kind of unfair if you weren't allowed to switch to them when they came out. Especially since people have been demanding these since beta. People feel like they should have been able to choose these from the beginning and so to tell the players "Well ... we could, but it doesn't make sense!" would kind of be a slap in the face.

I think a fair compromise would be to allow gender/race swapping only to the newly released genders/races. In addition you should only be allowed to do it once, however I think there should be a grace period where you can revert back to your old character if you decide you liked your old one better.

Ok that clears up a little on the gender vs race thing. Thanks for that.

On a side note, do they realise we want the name change as a one time thing? Not a change whenever thing? This could solve the name length thing.

The only people that should be worried about whether or not a gender change is shocking is the player themself.
Would it really be game breaking to anyone else if i decided i really did want to be a female Miqote after ive seen how awesome they are in battle?
Again i dont see the problem.

When this game launched I decided I was going to play a female Avatar. I hate the way Elves look in this game, I did not want to look like a 5 year old girl (Lalas) and I didn't want to join the Manthra army. That left Human as the only option. Had I been given the option of Roeg female or Highlander female I would have chosen one of them hands down, mainly because I have played a million and a half human characters in mmos.

When New Race/Gender Combos come I am not saying I will outright quit. But if I am not given at least a once time Race & Gender change I will at least be contemplating on whether or not I want to continue to spend time here when you don't give those of your players who played the game through the flop launch the same options as new players who didn't spend time, playing what was essentially a 1 year beta extension.

I do not think its asking too much for those loyal players to be given a ONE TIME race/gender swap.

I agree 100%, it just wont be fair. i dont know why its such an issue about switching over night. Its no different than deleting your old Elezen named pie crust, and making a new Male Miqote named pie crust. The only difference is you dont have to do all the questing again.

Players wanted Male Miqote since the begining of XI, and SE will outrage all those players thats been waiting for years if they dont allow them to switch. it would be the biggest tease and smack to the face.

I'm too lazy to write much on my own, so I'll just +1 this. Especially the "ONE TIME" part.
