Yes, I'm in love with mine.
My WoL is my daughter and I love her so 🥰🥰
I think the fact that I have several retainers that are various fantasiad versions of the same WoL… says something of how much I love my WoL :'D
i made my main to be a literal vessel for me if i were to be isekaied into ffxiv just as my WoW main or any other game i play with character creation i want to be able to see myself as my character when i play
My friendies and I all share a deep affection and lurv for our characters. My AuRa Xaela, Daunthir is delightful and gods-damned adorbz!
hats look amazing on viera
I don't think it is a coincidence that my charactee is a femroe
ffxiv allows me to live out my fantasy as a…..
badass old man
what? i fit in, right?
right?
Answer is absolutely yes, my bun is peak. I definitely like the WoW comparison and I think it is primarily to do with alts, XIV is essentially the only MMO that more or less actively discourages you from having alts. I mean I've got over 7k hours in XIV currently which has all been played on the same character, compared to WoW where I easily have double or even triple those hours but across maybe 40-50 different characters over the years.
But also glam and gpose solidified my love for my character, almost the whole game is about your character as well since you're not really just some adventurer, everything is about putting emphasis on your character.
Plus honestly like if you're not in love with your character what are you even doing??
I don't know what sparked it, but it was just a slow progress as I played through all of ARR on my original WoL Viera. Going though the whole story with her by my side was most likely the reason as to why. But now, I have made another WoL, 3rd, and I have WoL brain rot. I keep commissioning her and just spend too much time gposing to get the right pose. Trying my best to create a glam that fits her personality and color pallet. It's really just time what made me fall in love with my Au Ra Umbra
.Not in love, but if I could become my character, I would.
I tell my friends whenever this topic comes up that my Miqo'te is both made from a part of me and an embodiment of my desires. Whether it's putting myself in her shoes and picking options that express her personality, or staring at the physics of the ARR Bliauds on her when I use it for DRG glamour. I love her enough that I enjoy trying to recreate her in a bunch of games with customization, but I know that the best way she looks is how she is in FFXIV.
Y e s
i did not come here to be attacked for my severe fantasia addiction. D:<
my character is cute in every race, ever gender, as a NB Gemini what do you want me to do?? pick one???
My char went from my idealized self to my idealized wife and she's never changing back. I understand the sentiment of liking your char. FFXIV char design is very good and it's a beautiful game.
I like this new format. It was very soothing and I really needed that. So thank you
I'm a fantasia addict. o/ but it's mostly because of gender dysphoria. Sometimes I want to be a cute miqo and sometimes I need to feel masculine with my character. I can never settle on one. :/ I COULD just make an alt but I REALLY dont want to have to do eeeeeverything over again and buy all the cool glam again and FAAARRMMM uuuugh. Whyyy must nothing but mounts and rewards be account wide. Sigh… becaue money. They know Ill keep shelling out to Yoshi-Ps Lamborghini fund. T-T
I'm definitely enamored, enchanted, bewitched, and seduced by my catboy. I put him on a pedestal the way G'raha does.
Yeah I love it when the moonlight shines up my crevasse
Hmm, no I wouldn't say I'm in love with my lala. However, I do feel I would totally be a lala in game if I was isekai'd into the world of Eorzea. I have fantasia'd a couple times, I started as a miqo'te, then went lala, then femroe, then bunny girl, then back to lala. Why? Because I have something I love and enjoy about ALL of the races. I have many alts in various races, and different genders of the races (male and female miqo's, male and female hyur, male and female elezen, etc etc)… so I get to enjoy them whenever I want to really… but they aren't my MAIN! They don't have the same mounts and hairstyles and glams that I've collected over the years, so sometimes I still fanta my main to experience the love of a different race with the amount of stuff my main has hoarded.
Yep, you are 100% correct, and I don't even swing that way; my WoL is a sexy bitch! 😍😂
I joined at 2.0, and have stuck with my Roegadyn OG since then. I've used 2x Fantasia's on him, but only to add touches like scars and a lost eye, never to change the base race or features. I doubt I'll ever race/gender swap him either, he gets too many complements for being a sexy male Roe, an under-represented demographic in Eorzea IMO.

I loved my character as an Au Ra, then I fantaed to Lala and love how adorable I am ❤
As a recovered (?) fantasia addict, the reasons for changing race were typically the emotes, the tail clipping or in the cass of hyur the default "walk" animation. (It took a couple of goes to get Elezen to look ok, thanks to their extra neck 🙁 ). Buns are the perfect height and body type (for me) and so now the only reason to fantasia is to tweak appearance a little to get the look I want. (Alts also help resit the lure of Fantasia.)
The character is nothing short of a self-insert. Being in love with your character is like being in love with yourself. And with this self absorbed culture, I wouldn't be surprised if yes, many were in love with their character.
It's true, I really hope that if I do go Iseki when I die that it is final fantasy 14 so I can live in the shadow of the incredibly good looking hero of the world that I created.
OMG YES! I came to FFXIV after about 10 years in WoW. I made a generic Hyur and, along the way, tried a few other races. I even tried Lala once. Then one day after a few more Fantasias, I made this Lala that just…clicked. He was MY WoL. Other than a Hyur-look for my Bonding Ceremony, I kept the same race/appearance from the end of ARR into EW. My ONLY complaint is the "waddle" when you march into a scene. Other than that, I feel like this amazing warrior that everyone takes seriously even though he's cute as a button.
I never felt as attached in WoW. Your race was sometime limited by your class, I could generally only find "one good look" for each race that I liked. You were stuck with their race/gender dance, their casting animations, and your class. I had tons of alts but only one main or two because who wants to grind out all those reps and content unlocks over again.
With FFXIV it's different…I have one OC, I've never made an alt, I have no desire to make an alt. Right now I've just started a NG+ so I could see the entire MSQ again using the race/look that I fell in love with.
Sprout here. ( lvl 24 aspiring black mage ) I don't feel like I've had enough time to fall in love with my character yet. But I wont be surprised when I cap black mage and feel pride in my character's accomplishments.
