Who else is race changing?

[Rivxkobe]

I am.

I still haven't decided what colour hair I want my Viera to have yet though... .-.

I've been an Elezen since the release of ARR in 2013. Was an Elvaan in ffxi for nearly a decade before that. I LOVE the race. That said, I'm still going to race change. Viera have all the things I dig about the Elezen: Tall lankiness, graceful posture and ears that make them something more than just plain human. All that with much deeper customization options! Elezen will always hold a special place in my heart but I am so darned excited for this!

I wasn't gonna, I had no interest when Viera were announced. I thought they were 'eh'. Just Elezen models with slight alterations.


But then the benchmark came out and I've since saved 8 different options for Viera and I still can't decide what one I want to use. I keep saying "this is it, this is the right one", then I make some tweaks, save that version and repeat until I have too many 'final' options to choose from.

Edit: Snipped the small rant about the feet thing, as another thread has pointed out some very obvious reasons as to why they are the way they are, and I can get behind that 100%.

I'll admit I'm tempted to go Hrothgar. If it had been a race option when I first started playing it would have been my choice, hands down. That said, I'm so attached to my fem Roe. I've come up with so much story in my head for her, I love her emotes, and I do enjoy playing a not overly fem female character. I'll be staying Roe for the time being, but might make a Hrothgar alt and if they ever come out with female Hrothgar I'll have to revisit the decision.

Main - Au Ra, not changing
first alt - femroe changing to Viera
second alt - femroe, not changing
third alt - Au Ra, may change to Hrothgar

I wasn't going to until I got to play with the benchmark, and now I can't wait to Fantasia my main. When I first saw the reveal trailer I thought they looked pretty good, and that maybe I'd Fantasia an alt. But when I started playing with all the customization options and saw how they look in armor sets, I immediately converted. The emote videos that came out after the media tour embargo lifted pretty much solidified that decision. I started as an Elezen, but eventually changed because I really disliked the proportions and animations, and Viera basically take everything I love about Elezen while leaving the things I don't like. I'm over the moon about finally being able to play a tall woman on a race that I actually like and that fits my character.

Definitely race changing! I even changed to elezen to get used to the height difference coming from min height Au Ra. I'm just hoping their run animation is better lol that and lower quality textures are my biggest issues with the Elezen. But I got used to run lol so even if it's similar I won't be too upset.

It will be difficult to me, since I played "human" char since FFXI and more or less repoduce her in XIV, but since I need to be more open to changes (irl stuff) and in game we are going to other shard/universe/whatever I will take the chance (we can save our current aparence and can get back anyway)

Do you think they're going to have a sale on fantasia at launch, or should I buy now?

I'm hoping they have a Fantasia sale before launch or on the launch.
