How the hell do people drink Fantasia?

Mao has always been Mao in this game. Mao has no desire to be Not-Mao.

Consumed a Fantasia a few weeks ago to become a Miqo'te, mostly because I was getting turned down for RP because I was a Lalafell.

3 hours later, had to go back to my Lalafell. I had absolutely no connection to the new character. None. I looked at her in cutscenes, and I just got sad because she wasn't mine. She was an imposter.

I made one of my retainers look exactly the same as my old Lalafell, but that just made me even sadder.

So, yeah. Two fantasias in the span of three hours.

Yet, I see people dropping Fantasias like they're sick beats.

People I know are changing their race/look every week.

Do you guys not have personal connections do your characters?

My lore revolves around my character switching appearances. I'm tied to my character and her story, not her appearance.

She switches things up once she starts getting recognized on the streets again as the WoL. She doesn't like the attention, so she's either going to hole up or switch her appearance until things get extreme again. And it's not like it's even expensive for her - being a homeowner + crafter, she doesn't ever need money and she doesn't spend it on much, so.

I've loved all iterations of my WoL, that's why I Fantasia to those in the first place... I change her/his appearance based on what I connect to at the moment. Whether it be a strong-headed Miqo'te girl, or a lean and charming Viera, or an angry Miqo'te male. My friend liked me being Au Ra so I have to change back to appease him sometimes.

Also obligatory "how dare people enjoy what you don't".

Fantasia isn't for me, even though I don't rp I prefer creating alts so that every character can focus on something different.

i only ever use it once with my free fantasia. Before i use male hyur, looks boring because i only change hairtstyle + color and pupil color, but i dont mind. Then i watch some msq clip in youtube and saw a beautiful female hyur. I was like "Damn, i want my char to be like that". So i look up a comment and found the question i wanted to ask about how to make the char to be like that. So i use my free fanta and copy the exact char from that clip. And it turns out gear.

I have a preset for Miqo, Viera, Hyur and Au and I fantasia every 3 months approximately.
Went back to Hyur last night, I missed her and I was bothered by ears disappearing on my Miqo with certain hats.

I’ve fanta’d 5 times.

First time was to turn my main into Highlander. I was trying out some RP elements in the game about my character being able to manipulate time & space, and thus extends to being able age up or down himself at will. But this gets old real quick & I found it’s such a hassle.
Second time was to turn himself back to midlander, with different skin tone & eye color.
Third time was to make him tanner by 1 square… (Yep, lmao)

Fourth and fifth was on my alt. Started out as a Male Au’Ra, then a catboy, and eventually into a female midlander. Guess I’m as basic as I can be.

Currently I have this minor temptation to do the 6th chug on my main… to make him tanner again, by 1 more square… don’t judge me lmao.

I rarely use a fantasia and when I do it's usually after I've had a long-time feeling of needing to change something. This week I made my 4th new appearance. I changed my retainer and made an alt to get used to it first. I'm waiting for the day they show us female Hrothgars.

[Casti_EL]

I tried to change to toher races but they just don't fit in with the persona around my character. I'm not an RP'er but I do feel that Lalafell fit's my WoL better than any other race. I've got friends who have fantasia'd more times than I can count (some love the variety) and that's fine - each to their own I suppose.

[Gullis]

I feel the same. I could never fantasia because of that. I used to swap races all the time in wow, a long time back, so not sure what in my brain changed, but I could never do that today.
