Show the developers that you would like to reroll.

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.

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.
