SE i made a mistake when logging in phase 4..Please revert my char!

[Volsung]

Hi there, I'm supporting this thread, simply because I experienced and in-game bug. After loading my appearance, and choosing
starting class, I was prompted with a "proceed"? I had not clicked to begin the game, so I thought it must be to accept my choice
in starting class. After I had clicked to proceed (from the prompt, not from the main char changing menu) the game began. After
talking to several people, this should not have been how it worked. So I did not suffer a graphical error, but did suffer a menu
error, and did not get to make several other changes.

I won't be upset if I don't get my change, but would really appreciate it.

I created a similar thread in beta forum too. I didn't realize that the class was listed in the confirmation page for 1.0 char importation, so i confirmed and i couldn't change it after that 2 steps process. I wanted to keep the appearance so i didn't bother about all the options in confirmation page, 'cause i thought that it was only about char appearance and i did the error to confirm PUG as my starting classI already have my MNK at lvl 50 so i wanted to start with a lvl 1 class (ARC and ACN for me) so i wouldn't waste the early quest exp. This way all the exp until lvl 10 and more (i have to unlock airship if i want to go to limsa and join the Arcanist guild so all the main quest exp will be wasted as well) will be wasted for i am bound to PUG.
If they will reset those characters who had problems in beta 4, why wouldn't they reset ours as well? I don't think there are lot of people out there that want their char wiped, so it's a matter of.. 10, maybe 20 characters?

They won't reset any chars, they will allow ppl a recustomization who had problems with that graphic bug.

Awww they brought that stupid 1000 char limit...

I wasn't able to load my official benchmark character settings so I just redid it again. I also wasn't able to change my name either. I'm glad we'll get that chance to do so again.

[Kibo]

I'm also a bit bummed I couldn't load in benchmark character data. Kudos if they let us redo it again.

Players can remake their Characters once again (besides the 30 day sub appearance ticket). News were just posted in JP forum. I'm sure we get official translation soon.

EDIT
there it is

We have confirmed an issue wherein players were unable the load their character data from the official benchmark when changing the appearance of their FINAL FANTASY XIV version 1.0 characters.

In addition, we identified several display issues with the editing screen itself. Due to these display issues, players may have had a difficult time changing the appearance and/or character name of their characters.

Therefore, we have decided to provide the following services.

- Provide a one-time character name change.
- Provide a one-time character appearance change.

* Please note that we will only be providing the service to those who encountered problems during the character change process.

We will follow-up once we have more information on the matter.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

You obviously couldn't read what I wrote. I didn't see that it preapplied a class to my character.

? It doesn't preapply a class. You choose the class of your choice, and the city is chosen together with it (It's shown in the lower left area of the screen when you highlight a particular class). Maybe I don't understand what you mean? Maybe you thought you pick your first class after the game starts? I've never seen a game where you did that though...

Maybe you can relearn to read what ppl write if you're going to attack them for it.

I'm not attacking you. I'm sorry if you saw it that way. But your writing wasn't very clear, so I had to interpret it the best I could. If you weren't even asked to choose a class or customize your character like 1.0 characters were supposed to, then that is a bug and you will most likely be getting a recustomize out of it. The original post read to me more like "I didn't pick the options I wanted, can I do it over again?" than like "there was a bug and I didn't get to choose anything I wanted.'

Hiya : ) I logged in and chose one of my 2 1.0 chars (both around level21) well I clicked on the conj char and boom it started me with some default setting to Uldah with a war.

I'd guess you're one of the victims of the bug or something. When you select a 1.0 character for the first time, a message pops up telling you you need to choose a starting class and it also stats you are given a chance to change your name and appearance as well. If none of that happened, then yeah, that was a bug.

1.0 characters see a different intro from the one where you come in on a ship or wagon.

Is this really supposed to happen? Because I read about that, but my 1.0 characters got the same intros as the new one I made.

Yes. In the 1.0 character intro, you're just in this swirling aetherial place, you don the AF of the class you chose in character creation, swing your weapon around at (something), and a little after that you're dropped off in some random place in Eorzea (in your lv1 RSE), then you are shown walking into the city of the class you chose with a narrator saying a bunch of stuff.

When you were playing, did any of the main characters in the story react to you as if they thought they knew you, but then they doubt themselves? (e.g. "you look familiar, have we met?"). Several NPCs in the game h ave slightly different lines towards 1.0 characters.

Not that I remember. Can't say that I was reading as intently as I could have been, but from the dialog I remember they introduced themselves as if we've never met. Even the ones I've interacted with 1.0.
