What makes you fantasia?

[Azure_dragon-]

While I adore my FemRoe, sometimes the “stiffness” of their animations get to me. So while waiting on the next MSQ patch to release I’ll take a break. Enjoy a short period of all my glamours actually fitting my characters build. Then go straight back to Roe once the story continues.

Since I am a Lalafreak by heart, I only did this because I needed a female Lalafell for taking screenshots. Lots of them. 600 to be precise...

(In very short: My mother loves Lalafell too, so I was making little postcards and eMail collages etc. But after it only being a male, I wanted to bring diversification.)

Fun Fact: My mother uses my female Black Mage Lalafell as her avatar in WhatsApp!

So the one and only reason I used a Fanthasia was for the reason of getting...

Emotes of both genders!

You have probably seen me posting these emotes in PNG form here and there, and this is my collection of a male and female BLM (both my Zedek) and my Red Mage. When I feel like, instead of posting much, I put together my personal Lalaemote. And for these I need high resolution images of my Lalafell in several poses. So I used a Fantasia once for several hours, took 1.2 GByte of screenshots and created a huge pool of male and female Lalafell emotes for further use. This is just a small selection as they spread out over several folders, and my Red Mage Lalafell images (in 4K) are not included either.

So I turned my male...



...into a female for several hours:

After finishing that session I turned her back to be male Lalafell, basically getting two Fantasias! My pool of emotes of a female Blackmage is fine now, and I concentrate more on my Red Mage.

No Fantasia ever needed again ! (It felt good to have my Zed being male again )
(Even though I am tempted to see what a female Lalafell RDM in the beautiful Duelist gear looks like...)

Usually switch from Lala to a catboi.

I like them a lot but to me the idle animations and the run cycle are so off. The catbois always look like they're trying to grope invisible boobs when they just stand there with their hands down.

Granted it's fun doing their emotes but then I always end up going back to being a lala since it's the most fun. I love tanking as one and there's this fun factor of being a little guy taking on things like Titan and all of these huge bosses we have in the game.

Also has been nice with pvp for making it harder for people to hit me as a tank LMAO.

I've only changed from femlae miqo back to female au ra and mostly because of animations. Miqos are def cuter though so I'm fighting the tempation to go miqo again. Au ra feels boring compared to miqos I think. But I do like the playdead animation and the default standing animations on female Au ras as it's more detailed and animated. This is how SE makes their money... fantas.

Can't stand short races, female races aren't for me. If I switch it's between Hrothgar and male Highlander because they're the only two that have the appearance of a WoL I'd imagine to have. I've played a bit of male Au Ra as well but their run animation is garbage.

[Duskane]

depends on how i feel
and some gear looks better on miqote than au ra vice versa etc etc
i always go back to au ra for story or major patches though

[Kobalos]

Went lala for a bit for giggles but always go back to my au ra boi in the end

I used 3 on my alt, which is a Fem Roe

First time was to change the skin tone and to switch from a Hellguard to a Sea Wolf.
Second time was to go viera for a cosplay contest the wife and I were taking part of
Third time was to go back to being a Sea Wolf Roe.

Only changes I ever make to my Lala main is hair color and styles - I change those almost every other month.

Boredom... >w>

What is the reason you pop fantasias?

Trying different character looks. While there is not plenty of character customization, we have 8 races with 2 clans to pick from

When do you feel the urge to change races?

When the current character starts to lose it's charm. My male Raen was ok but those golden horn/scales started to look meh after a while. That, or when I want to roll a differnt race

Does it last long?

From months to permanent. Depends on current Fantasia stock

I get the urge to switch pretty often, but I always end up regretting it and switch back a month or two later. Last time I became Viera and it lasted for a week. I feel like I'm just wasting money xD

You could make multiple characters which takes more time, or pop Fantasias every now and then, which takes more money
