race change

[evilmica]

hello forum

i searched around and found this but couldnt really find a discussion around it. Reinhaert Translated it

It basically says we can change race on version 2.0. . . however I recently read somewhere in this forum that they have retraced this statement and said that they're allowing to change our gender not race. Now that the billing has been announce $3 per person means $3 for a mule so I just wanna keep one character and really want to make sure if i can change race or not?

"YoshiP Response - 10/19/11 Race change will be allowed with 2.0

Good news
I'll just call NEW FFXIV as 2.0 in my posts... easier...

新生とインタビューで微妙に内容が食い違っていて恐縮です。
I apologize that the 2.0 (documents) and Interview had contradicting information.

新生による民族（種族）追加時のキャラカスタマイズは、仕様上は民族変更も含め、
すべて変更可能にしてあります。
ですのでそこは資料通りなのですが「前日までルガディン兄貴だったのが、
突如ララフェル女子に！」ってのは、いいのかなあと悩んでいる最中なのです。
With the 2.0; Race change system is already included in the character customization so that part is same as the documents, but was wondering if it was OK to have situations such as "Till yesterday he was brother Roegadyn, now suddenly he became a Lalafel girl!"

ゲームポリシー的にどうしようかと（セカイカンガーにも近い）。
ですので、実際にその時期までに、皆さんのご意見も聞いて決めさせて頂こうかと思っていました。
フィードバックを受けて仕様を決める、という部分として、このスレッドを見て「なるほど」と思っています。
Looking at game policy was wondering if this was OK (would break the world concept)
So wanted to listen to every one's comments and decide on this.
As for this one, after looking at this thread it made me go "I see"
(players on the thread said it should be up to the players to decide)

仕様上は可能にしてありますし、変更しない人はしなくてもよい、
という選択肢が取れるので、UI上は変更可能にしておくのがよさそうですね。
The system is set so you can change, it's an option so if you don't want to change race you don't have to. In the UI feature the race change is already made possible so I think it's better to leave it as is.

Where did you get that we will only be able to change gender? I read completely the opposite from what you quoted.

i remember reading about it here in the lodestone that they retraced their statement about changing race only gender. This was a few weeks ago if anybody knows where it is that's what I want to find out. If I recall it was one of the gms that retraced it so it was an official statement. Please I want to be proven wrong. As of right now I just started lvling a taru just becuase i'm sick of being a mithra. So I want to be sure if I should delete my mithra or just wait for 2.0.

This? /10char

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.
