Trial Fantasia

I wish we got one free Fantasia every year we stay subbed for.

I'm actually surprised that there is no Fantasia with Shadowbringers expansion. It was a bonus item with Heavensward, and it's a bit weird that new expansion, while having new races, doesn't have additional Fantasia.

Nope.

Considering how many people wasting fantasia's for just a skin color or eye color and then imediatly using another one again because they don't like it, only to use one yet again because it doesn't match with the glamour plate 3 ...

SE makes way to much profit out of it.


I guess I am the weird one to think this behaviour of certain people is weird.

GCBTW.

Hah! I know what you mean! I will never understand how people have no principles or taste that settles. The only things I changed was my hair and eye colour when I slowly transisted from archer to black mage. I put my wild, blonde hair into the Papalymo hairdo and my eyes became red. Later, as my Lalafell aged a bit, I added the white portions to the hair to reflect that.

Before I left for my 4-year hiatus, I was in charge of keeping our Lalafell-only linkshell "clean" by browsing Lodestone mugshots and remove Non-Lalafell. It was baffling how many people changed back and forth, sometimes so quick that I removed them because the Lodestone did not refresh their mugshots as quickly as they used Phantasias.

I am always a midget. Yordles, Lalafell, Asura, Mascu, Goblin. Why would I suddenly want to turn into something else and pay for that?!

Absolutely strange. These are probably the same people that want to bail from contracts or pricey purchases. As I work in retail, it just makes my eyes roll when they return perfectly fine, un-opened appliances because "they changed their mind".....

I can't say for all, but I used fantasia few times and can explain for myself. 1st time I used fantasia I did it to change my Miqo'te face, because wanted to make him older than he was in the start. But I changed races later, too. Sometimes you just want to try something fresh. Sometimes you start to wonder what if other race will suit you better with emotes and poses. I played as male Elezen for a short time and as male Au Ra for one year, but in the end returned to male Miqo'te because he suits me more. I tried to change my character to female twice, cause I'm female irl, but... in the end... just no. Maybe because I didn't play with female characters in MMO for 10 years, or maybe because of something else, I can't play them here, so I gave up on this idea. For now I don't plan use fantasia again because there is nothing what suits me more than male Miqo'te, but if suddenly in future they will add something and it will touch me in a way "yes, this is me" - I will use fantasia then.

Fantasia should have a 24 hour cool down where you can go back and make changes if you're not happy. The idea that it's a one time thing whether you're happy with your skin color, voice, facial options and so on and can't change them without another fantasia is ridiculous. After the cool down you're stuck with what you got but making that possible would be well received in my opinion.

Only the collector's edition came with a free fantasia in Heavensward. The standard edition didn't.

I would rather have character creation lighting that is actually what we have in game so that my color choices turn out the way I want them to.

Might be worth a shot. Everything I end up doing in-game appears to be either (1) when it is raining or (2) at night or (3) both.

I know I plan to use a Fantasia (still have the one I got from Heavensward) but I do agree its a bit of greedy to not offer 1 as they know a fair amount of people will swap to one of the two new races, even if its only temporarily.
