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.

It is not odd at all, I could see how it would be if you look at it in a critical sense. But changing from one race to another is no different really than changing sex as well especially since it only effects appearance in the game. Plus your loyal players want this option so it should be a given. Like I said in a previous post I kind of regret changing my characters at the beginning and if I have the option to change it back to what I originally started as, race/sex/name I will likely gladly take the option rather than losing all my 50 classes just to play a different race. We have stuck with the game through thick and thin for a year so I see this as good option for them to help show gratitude for our loyalty to FFXIV.

well here's how i see it. with the big ol hootenanny that the 7th umbral era is going to be, The game world radically changing ect. I see this as a perfect catch all for radical changes to player characters.

Example r.p conversation,
>>Hey Bayohne didn't you use to be a malboro?
< <funny thing about that, Remember when the _______________________________?
>>yea who wouldn't?
<<Well apparently i was in a bad spot, all i remember is a bright light, a really weird dream. and i woke up like this.
>>really? that's kind of weird.
<<Tell me about it, i don't remember much about the dream but i swear up and down that i was a dodo for a little while there.

I thought I had read in the 2.0 PDFs that because of the graphical changes being so different, we would be allowed a FULL re-roll.

Hmmmm... Let's see.

Oh, here we are: Page eight (8) of fifteen (15).

http://wdl.square-enix.com/ffxiv/dow...Outline_EN.pdf

"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."

Ah well, guess thats out the window, huh?

Yes, that was promised to us. No, it's not out the window.

What Bayohne is asking/talking about now, is about changes being allowed AFTER our free "change everything about our characters"-ticket. He's asking if race/gender/name changes should be allowed after that. If people want to change again.

Perhaps I wouldn't have to explain this every page if people would read the thread. ^^;
But I don't like when people are confused/off-topic/missing info.. so, if I must, I will. ._.; lol

I was merely highlighting the fact that people will get one more chance to 'get it right' so to speak.

Personally, I dont think purchasing re-rolls yet retaining stats should be allowed.

A Jewellery box to swap in/out earrings, zodiac stones - Hairdressers for hairstyles - 'Alchemical' solutions to remove scars, and reduce the effects of natural healing to show them off.

These things can be implemented into the game.

This is why you should have our characters "die" during the Seventh Umbral Era and have us create "new" characters with the same stats and stuff. And have some sort of wall with the names of the people who "died" engraved on it, that would be awesome.

That would actually be pretty interesting. Where we'd all "die" and have the choice to reincarnate back as what we were or something different (of course keeping our levels, achievements, and items/gear like Yoshi promised). That way it would actually make in-game sense. It would also take away that odd concept that changing gender is any different than changing race.

To me a death is the easiest and most obvious rout for Rerolling characters.

if you chose to stay with your current model then perhaps you dont die, your picked up and carried off to town by moogles or something to be rehabilitated.

Also consider this:
there is supposed to be disasters and such to explain the changes to the zones. Well any huge disaster requiring re-growth (trees/Gridania) and re-building is going to take a large amount of time.
during this time your character would theoretically age and be in capable of fighting anyway needing you to take control of a new character.
Thats how i see it being explained.

I can't tell the difference between male and female lala so it would be just as shocking to me regardless of what sex that Roe changed to in the lalafell species. Besides, who really cares if someone is "shocked" by a sex change. Sex changes have been occurring in the real world for years now.

What about from female Miqo'te to male Miqo'te?
