Alts. How many do you have and what do you do with them?

[Canadane]

None alts.
Left adventure.

Hint: you don't have enough fingers.

What if I'm one of those weirdos that collects fingers?

[Rowde]

8 characters
i do just about everything and actually collect things on my main

7 alts are through caught up with msq and caught up with Hildibrand
mostly play them so I can have some alternate models to play around with in /gpose
mostly ignore side content with alts but I do try to have everything at least unlocked for the most part
for example 0 progress in PotD HoH Eureka or Bozja but I've done all sidequests (except EW haven't started yet) and some Beast Tribe stuff

You can but might need to use your toes too but won't say if you have enough of those.

I have multiple alts. Like each to have their own personality and style. With their own skills and roles and personal story. Plus just don’t like one character that does it all. Just doesn’t feel right to me.

That's...a lot of alts. I too don't care to buy fantasias.

Four alts.

My first alt I made with the thought to replay the MSQ, try a different race (highlander hyur) and also make an FC so I could try workshop stuff with a house. That alt is now at the end of stormblood and got me my large mansion in ishgard as an FC house.

I first used a fantasia in Shadowbringers to try Viera, I went back to miqo'te after a year but then found myself really missing my bun self. But I was dearly missing my miqo self as a bun.
My second alt was due to missing being a miqote. I decided to fanta back to Viera for Endwalker and decided rather than using fantasia back and forth regularly I would make an alt so I can have tailored glam for each version of me. Much happier with this now. That alt is at the start of Endwalker and I plan to use it for raiding in pf/helping ppl clear without cucking their loot.

My third and fourth alts are on the new EU servers for housing purposes and to enjoy playing as an Au'ra and a slightly different bun girl. Both of them I boosted to shadowbringers and plan to use mainly for crafting and casual content. I can finally make glam plates for crafters with them! No space for crafter glam on my main at all. Really glad I made them as my neighbours on Raiden are lovely and I got plots I could only dream of getting on my main.

I really enjoy redoing msq at a snails pace, my first alt is near two years old now I think. Making glams for my different characters is enjoyable and I love housing so it was worth the extra effort there too.

Got a second one one at Ragnarok, which is in HW content before CT became a manditory quest.

Wonder if I can do the Void Arc Alliance raids and then join the Roulettes, or if CT is required for it.

I have One Hrothgar ALT.
And honestly, I just love FFXIV enough that I like to redo alot of stuff, just under a new skin.
It is a weird sort of RP thing as well where I do play abit of a character on my Hrothgar Alt.

Call it pointless, but I just think its good fun. And it only cost me an Extra $1 to have more then one Avatar/Toon on a Server.
Its not much, I think they deserve the money, I enjoy it <3

I have this Hrothgar I originally made as an alt but has become my main to replay the MSQ and stop people from confusing me as a woman, and a female Au Ra (originally Highlander Hyur).

I'd play them both equally, but it's not necessary to do so because of how the class system works, and reconfiguring the hotbars is a pain (I play on PS4 so).
