    New Genders and PC Players!

    Post/sign here if you feel that PC players should be given the one-time opportunity to switch their race/gender given the recent news regarding the addition of missing genders at the PS3 launch of Final Fantasy XIV. I referenced this briefly in a post within the thread where the news was originally requested and announced, but now I feel that Square-Enix needs to hear this up front and I'm sure many more will agree.

    Even if you don't personally want to take advantage of a one-time race/gender change consider the players who may have chosen a race simply because a gender from another race was not available. For example, a player choosing a Midlander Hyur instead of picking a female Miqo'te but would have loved to have chosen a male Miqo'te if the choice had been given.

    These missing genders have been desired by fans of the Final Fantasy online games since the beginning of Final Fantasy XI, myself included. Furthermore, the PC players have stayed loyal since release and don't deserve to have to restart if they want to take advantage of this exciting new addition to the game.

    Simply giving the option the first time a player logs in after the new genders have been released to change their race/gender combination one time and one time only is nothing of a feat and would make a lot of loyal fans happy.

    Thank you.

    ***The following is an update of relevant information as of August 20th, 2011.***

    Spoke with Yoshida regarding the ability for current players to have some kind of "one-time switch" for any new genders that appear in the future, he said that he appreciates the comments and that he'll consider it. -Bayohne

    容姿や種族変更の可能性についてプロデューサーの吉田と確認してきました。
    Checked with Yoshida producer regarding possibility of changing the looks or race


    •髪型・髪色の変更
    今後ゲーム内に床屋を実装することを検討しており、床屋を利用することで自由に変更が可能になる予定です。
    Hair style, hair color change
    Later in-game looking into adding a barber, by using the barber planning to be able to change freely.

    •種族変更
    PS3ローンチにあわせた新種族実装にあわせ、1度だけ種族を変えることができるよう検討をしています。
    また種族を変更するサービスについては皆さんの声の大きさ次第では検討しますとのことです。
    Changing Race
    Along with PS3 launch looking into being able to change the race only once.
    Also will look into race changing service depending on players voice.

    •ワールド移転
    PS3ローンチ時になるか、それ以降になるか現段階では何とも言えませんが、もちろん検討していきますとのことです。
    Moving Worlds
    Can't say if it will be at PS3 launch or after but will also look into this for sure.


    種族変更のサービスについて声の大きさ次第で検討と吉田も言っていましたので、
    今後もご意見ご要望お待ちしています!
    Yoshida also said for race change service it's up to players voice so will be waiting for more suggestions, ideas!
    -Thank you Perrin_Aybarra and Reinheart for posting and translating this information so I was able to find it.

    So, they can change their race once and still keep their current level? I'm all for that for people that want it.

    Definitely. Especially if they improve character creation.

    i'd probably be in for a male mithra, depending how the character models look.
    but i'm more worried about my name.

    Would be nice to make some tweaks to my chars appearence like things I didn't know when I first started (moon Kitty's have vampire teeth and are smaller than sun Kitty's!)

    Would also like to shorten my first/last name but I can't see that happening.

    I'm all for it tbh.

    A name change being included with that one-time change would be a great idea as well, a lot of players have names that are gender specific I'm sure.

    A complete character re-creation for anyone playing at the time the missing genders are implemented would be in order. It would be incredibly unfair of SE to not give that option to the players who supported them through the worst of the game's existence. It's only fair as we created our characters and poured time and effort into them before being given these options. Asking us to completely re-roll is out of the question, especially after so much time.
