“Y racist against galka”

Because theres always some douchebag galka standing infront of a npc im trying to engage with and i cant target them unless I adjust the camera.

Its always galka.

If i knew how to race swap all galkas into a mix of the other races, i would

If it's free, it will be free cause it will cost too much to add a payment > database integration system.
If FFXI's engine could support in-app purchases, I'd guarantee it would have had one by now.

Couldn't it be done the same way they give out rainbow mog pells with other purchases? Ie buy something in the cash shop for a code and redeem it in game

That's how they should've spun it.

Have you always wanted to travel to the far least? Us too, that's why it's maintenance mode.

Though if ilvl besieged and stuff is actually a thing, that's kinda cool.

I mean, there is the DressUp add-on if you really want that. You could do "//du others race tarutaru m" or something and make everyone extra small. Or you could make each of the Galka you see individually different. I don't think there's a way to swap one whole race for another though.

Yeah, but that isn't in-app. The problem with the way a lot of modern games do it is they encourage you to drop a truckload of cash up front and then dangle a valueless number in front of you to impulse buy. It's all psychological warfare.

I'm still wondering when your Lightning phase is going to be over.

We all know why we pick mithra when we do.

Main character is taru, I will never change it. Best decision ever.

2nd char is Elvaan which I don't like but it was a friend's account and I'd never change his char even though he gave it me something like 18 years ago and I've never heard from him since. It would be disrespectful.

Inb4 they make Beastmen into playable races and this whole thing is just so players don't have to start their Goblin from Lv.1.

Seriously though, I'd 1000% make a Qiqirn if that were an option.

What would be pretty interesting is if you could turn your character into a Fomor.

If the programming for this change requires 60 seconds of work it is the dumbest use of 60 seconds of work in the history of this game.

You PICKED your race.,..
This is not an identity thing..
This is dumb.
Really dumb.

Sorry. (No I'm not).

Not really that dumb, prolly one of the most requested features. When I first made my character I was an elvaan, and I despised all their animations so much that after reaching 75 cap and finishing the storyline, I remade my char to Hume. Couldn't stand the squatting for summoning and the Dagger pose and so many bad elvaan things. I would have been waiting 20 years to change.

well. i suppose it Could be useful if you bought someones Character. or in my instance took over a parent's mule. but yeah it is kind of silly (to me at least) i suppose other then if they maybe allowed something out of the 5 races. like for example Fomor or beastmen. which probably wont happen. it does have some uses though.

Some of us made our characters back when race stats mattered to the jobs you wanted to play. Not every mage wanted to be a taru, it just made sense to not be a fat galka if you wanted to be mages.

Not gonna lie, my current main is a Galka and it would be nice to just be Hume without needing mods to do it? Plus, I could make my Alts all Taru so they take up much less space on screen (completely ridiculous reasons, yes)

The mod is extremely easy to use so I probably won’t? But it is nice to have I must admit

You gotta be kidding, we picked our race 20 yrs ago lol. Things change and most games have this option. If you don't like it, guess what, don't do it. But to rain on other people's parade seems...childish.

I went through elvaan M, mithra, Hume M, and decided on elvaan F. All 4 characters hit lvl 30+ back before CoP because I needed to see how they dual wielded. It was a terrible grind, but not as bad as settling for Elvaan M animations.

If race changes will make anyone happy in this game, then let them have it. There isn't nearly enough of that for my liking.

a lot of folks picked their race due to the stats. since the differences are largely irrelevant these days, letting people re-pick their character's appearance seems long overdue as it has been requested for ages. I am fine with my Dhalmel, and don't really see a need for the feature myself, but this is something that will make other people happy. of all the things to get one's panties in a twist about, I would think this to be pretty damned low on the list.

I ended up as red haired hume cos the char creation screen colours showed it as brown hair, not red. By the time I'd grinded my way to 75 I wasn't about to start all over again and after putting 15 years into my char I'm not about to restart. Being able to change to black haired hume is all I've ever wanted. Yes I can achieve this with dressup, but in my heart I know I'm still a red-headed hume which irks me. This will be a very welcome option if it comes to fruition.

Im pretty sure there will be massive reduction of galkas and tarus in this game

Maybe this was an evil change proposed by devs: allowing players to change race, they know galkas and tarus will be reduced to zero, then they can eliminate the data of them, like a Mandela effect.

You thought this was something nice, but in reality it is a virtual genocide!!!
