Has the topic ever been discussed by SE about allowing a character whom you have leveled, change their race? (as in you are a lvl 75 hume and you now want to be a mithra)

And if you could change....what would you want to be?

Meh...at most I would hope for facial/size changes. Otherwise everyone leveling BLM turn taru, and everyone looking for a good end game would go manthra and pretend to be female.

I made a large hume but he always looks tiny next to elves. It bothers me. I mean, tarus are supposed to be tiny, that's their charm but humes look small to me rather than average. I wouldn't mind running around like a goliath Galka for a while. It would be fun quest to do if you could get to change your apperance, even if it's just your facial features.

I love being mithra, but it would be cool to be able to change my name. I wanted to be named Lily, and when that wasn't available, Lila, and when that wasn't available either I settled for Liela. If I could, I'd go back and try Lilli or whatnot. But changing features or race would be really cool, too!

I'd keep Aramina as same race and model, but I'd love to change her from a Medium to a Small.

Likewise, I'd probably keep Darkmoose a Hume also, although being SAM and PLD, Elvaan does tend to stick out as an option, but with the likelihood that I'll finish off THF, Elvaan = not so good as Hume anymore.

I think changing race entirely is a bit of a stretch, but it'd be really nice if S-E added "Plastic Surgeon" and "Beautician" NPC's, where we could change our character models and such. I know our Amazonian Elvaan RNG would be ecstatic lol

I'd like to get tattoo removal for Darkmoose's head if I can...

I really liked being able to customize tattoo art in Fable, and I wish we had something similar. I know Ara would have a tramp stamp with some dragonesque motif.

That's a good point, I wanted to be "Mikoto" at first, but it was taken by a char who's been gone for ages now, and I'm stuck with "Mykoto" :\

But didn't previous FF's have a namingway card or char that could change your name? I see no reason why SE couldn't implement something like that.

As for changing your race entirely, that might be a bit farfetched, but I would like to atleast see a way to change the color, maybe even the style of your hair, and the color of your clothes perhaps...
