And some people just like creating multiple characters.

I have my main character that does everything, then alts for replaying story and a few chosen jobs each, plus they’re fun for trying out different styles of glamours. I don’t want to transform the one character into different races repeatedly, I want four individual characters.

Being able to share items between them would be fantastic, because my main character has high-leveled crafters and a lot more gil.

(Less likely but extra-nice would be the ability to share dungeon drops, since it’s ever so frustrating when Character A ends up with the item I be been wanting to get for Character B for ages... doubly so if it looks awful on the character who did get it. )
