Just an idea; "Linked" Characters

[Oichi]

I don't have alts, and I don't use fantasia because I would hate to lose my Au Ra, the bard I started with. But if I had the option to choose a different race\gender for each of my other jobs, once I reached level 80 with them, I would be delighted. I could keep my bard as Au Ra and try all the other options for my other 5 level 80. Definitely I would experiment a lot and buy a lot more fantasias compared to now, when I have no reason to buy any. It would be wonderful for me.

Sorry, I disagree. You are playing 1 character, not a party of characters. Your character shouldn't change race and gender based on their job.

I understand your point, but I would love to be manifold, I can't help it

True. Consider this, though;

The Hrothgar are pretty cool, right? But they're obviously not going to look good in EVERY type of armor. And since they're unable to wear all helmets, that leaves them missing out on a lot of "looks" that other Races get to experience.

Or Lalafel characters, I wouldn't necessarily play one as a "main", because they just aren't going to rock those heavy armor sets the same way.

But now, imagine if you could, let's say, assign "characters" to your different Job Crystals? So when I'm a Monk, I'm my good ol' Miqo'te that I love. But when I'm a Black Mage, I can be a cool little Lalafel. Or maybe when I'm a Paladin, I'm a big, leonine Hrothgar. Or a Dark Knight, a brooding Xaela edgelord.

Even though I despise WoW, one of the few things I enjoy is that every character can offer a sort of "experience" all their own. FFXIV technically offers every bit as much variety (and looks a whole lot better doing it), but the game is really built around playing a single character.

I just like the idea of expanding that somehow. I don't know what the best solution would be. All I'm saying is that it would be cool to bounce around different "characters", without completely resetting your progress.

can i introduce you to the unlimited fantasia for life plan? it will only cost all the money you have. mwa h aha hah a! you can add Oichi there to your plan too. lolol

I Support this but sadly I Think that Aint gonna Happen cuz indecisive ppl like me Who want to Play multiple races w/o having to Level alts just spend money on fantasia. Implementing something like your op would cost them money/Manpower while losing a lot of fantasia sales, Id think
