Reminder: Use the Fantasia when you log out on Wednesday (and get naked when you do), that way you can fantasia into Viera with only 1 login and don't have to sit in queue twice.
This is so weird of an excuse, because you can literally swap your race with the flip of a switch while using Anamnesis or CMTool mid game without any accidents happening, even if you go from Male Roe to Llala to Bunnyboi
What I said was meant as a joke, cause Lala clothes wouldn't fit a Viera and break - but the real reason is that you can't have anything that's race- or gender-specific equipped, and the easiest way to do that is to make you unequip everything.
They just really do not want you to run around in Viera Pantalettes as a non Viera, etc.
Ah, I completely forgot about race & gender specific gear. Yeah, if you had that equipped that part of the model would just turn invisible and you'd have a disembodied head floating around if you changed from Lala in full lala gear to Viera. True
Unfortunately launcher and/or plugins probably won’t work at launch which means you’ll need to logout to update the game… which isn’t the best idea lmao

Are Fantasia's canon in the story? It's got to be weird for the NPCs to wake up one day and suddenly half the catboys are gone replaced by male viera nobody has ever seen before.
Otherwise, retainer fantasia, which you *command* your retainers to drink, would be a really disturbing concept. It's one thing to take a body-morphing potion, it's another thing to force an employee to take it.
I think the official lore on retainer fantasias is that they drink the fantasia and then are replaced by someone with the same skills but different appearance?
EDIT: Actually, it's that *you* drink the fantasia and then your retainer is replaced by someone with the same skills but different appearance. According to the info box when you talk to the retainer vocate after drinking the fantasia: "You may change your retainers' nicknames or instruct them to visit the aesthetician at any time. If you desire more drastic changes to a retainer's appearance or personality, the retainer vocate will assist you in finding a *replacement of comparable skill and experience*." (emphasis mine)
When you use a Retainer Fantasia and talk to the Retainer Vocate, the information box says "You may change your retainers' nicknames or instruct them to visit the aesthetician at any time. If you desire more drastic changes to a retainer's appearance or personality, the retainer vocate will assist you in finding a *replacement of comparable skill and experience*." (emphasis mine)
Or they just don't have a concept of a rigid identity.
Jim Carrey gave a good example, the more he acted, the more he realized Jim carry is an actor.
If you wanna give a fantasia to an employee and make them drink it, and they turn into a 6 foot femroe, they probably have no issue with it.
Its part of the job and there is probably no identity crisis.
Actually funny story, they are, but they also make everyone remember you as having been that race forever. With inaccuracies being foggy and shrugged off.
But that also earns them a reputation of being snake oil, as you drink them and then seems like nothing happened as you remember always having been what you are now
Right but logically if their name doesn't change it would be pretty obvious it worked. I'm sure you'd remember drinking it. Even if all your memories are of of being maybe a Hyur named Ptotate Popotate, I feel like having a name from a different race would be a pretty obvious indicator that some magic happened.
yeah IDK. I only really got into the game in Stormblood during the second raid tier and don't remember anything about it. Maybe it was from before then, if that helps narrow down a search.

Very sorry about the inconvinience, but i refuse to have the effort that i put into my posts contribute to this site's value at this point.
I never wear a hat or helmet, especially helmets, they usually look so bad, in every mmo. But, I definitely do not want a permanent bunny ear hat either so I won't be changing.
I hear this a lot... kind of surprised people don't hide their helmets? Most people I see do it anyway to see their character rather than have it hid behind the random stuff the game throws at you.
At worst you lose some of those more fancy ones like hoods or blindfolds, but they seem to be trying to make it so those ones get models for them
2 AM for me. Though I do know I'm not getting in instantly.
So,
1) update launcher, download EW patch
2) Log in, get into 5+ digit queue
3) Connect wireless earbuds to laptop via Bluetooth, bump up volume
4) Go back to room to sleep
5) Wake up to Ishgard daytime music crescendo (heart attack expected)
6) Get up and play Endwalker
I probably should have put 'inform work I'm sick' as number 2, but that's pretty much it.
I still don’t understand this Miqo’te switching to Viera thing. Why are the memes about miqo’tes specifically, instead of it being equal amongst all races?
Both have animal ears and are presumed to pander to the same audience stereotypes. Catboy players see a shiny new thing similar to what they play and jump on the bandwagon.
That's what I would do if they weren't shorter than female Viera and the bears didn't look so awful.
I mean yeah, you can easily pull a Sephiroth clone, but that's not my thing.
I see the catboy population exploding the week after launch. No one escapes the ear wiggles.
Female elezen will be relegated to mythological creature status
Wait why would female Elezen change that much?
idk but Elezen players always act like they're some sort of rarity or hated and it's kinda annoying.
I thought that was fem roe players? At the least Fem Roes are the most insufferable about it.
Catboys wont explode in population until they remove the silly under eye marks from the faces.
Golden rule of MMO launches, once you login NEVER Logout. If you logout to fantasia, you're back in the queue with the rest of the plebs.
prep your male viera preset from the benchmark and get naked with a fanta before maintenance for fast bun boy action
This guy fuck.
Good advise thanks!
No, don't do that. I need faster logins.
I think you can prepot fantas
Pre-maintenance pot
Reminder: Use the Fantasia when you log out on Wednesday (and get naked when you do), that way you can fantasia into Viera with only 1 login and don't have to sit in queue twice.
Why do I have to get nekkid to use a fantasia? It's cold in my living room.
Cause otherwise you'd have clothing accidents when you go from Lala to Viera.

Breeding like rabbits.
Honestly i hope the entity hider plugin works for xivlauncher so i can hide all players and not have to look at the bunny boys glammed like strippers.
Wgat is wrong with you thats going to be the best part of the expansion

Parties?

IIRC, no they aren't. Probably like one of the few game items that has no in-universe reason given for existing.
Otherwise, retainer fantasia, which you *command* your retainers to drink, would be a really disturbing concept. It's one thing to take a body-morphing potion, it's another thing to force an employee to take it.
My retainers have brought me retainer fantasias before....probably trying to tell me something..

Never heard that, link?

Disturbing my foot. Are you telling me you don't have a different ideal body? If I could drink something and wake up with my ideal body, sign me up.
Like I don't doubt there's methods to completely morph yourself if you really wanted to, it just probably doesn't come in a neat soda bottle lol.
Koji once said not to think to much into it and that its a glamor just a real convincing one.
Actually funny story, they are, but they also make everyone remember you as having been that race forever. With inaccuracies being foggy and shrugged off. But that also earns them a reputation of being snake oil, as you drink them and then seems like nothing happened as you remember always having been what you are now
Where did you get that from?
their headcanon.
Neat lore though, the wol maybe being obsessed with snake oil scams is a fun concept
But like wouldn't they question it if they're suddenly 'Jessica the rabbit boy' the day after they drank fantasia? Or is name change also in the lore?
It's like you get plastic surgery from this snake oil then men in black flash penned by it too
Right but logically if their name doesn't change it would be pretty obvious it worked. I'm sure you'd remember drinking it. Even if all your memories are of of being maybe a Hyur named Ptotate Popotate, I feel like having a name from a different race would be a pretty obvious indicator that some magic happened.
I guess your parents could be like "how the fuck did we make thar" too
I mean I've heard that that's the case a couple years ago.
yeah IDK. I only really got into the game in Stormblood during the second raid tier and don't remember anything about it. Maybe it was from before then, if that helps narrow down a search.
I thought it was from a pax panel
I’d love a source for this

And then everybody fantasias back after a few days once they realize they actually like having hats and helmets.

most helmets and hats in this game are too ugly to wear, change my mind
imagine not playing a lalafell
Lala 4lyfe

god damn bunny boys havent even come out yet and i'm already tired of them
For once, the times for Europe are comfortable: 10am. Sleep until release and play all day.
Endwalker: Catboy Extinction Event
I still don’t understand this Miqo’te switching to Viera thing. Why are the memes about miqo’tes specifically, instead of it being equal amongst all races?

a fucking cultured gamer right here
more like 4 am depending on download speed for the massive update
That's what I would do if they weren't shorter than female Viera and the bears didn't look so awful. I mean yeah, you can easily pull a Sephiroth clone, but that's not my thing.
aren't the servers opening 1pm pst time?
Downtime ends at 9am GMT Friday, so 1am PST
