A lot of players have been expressing interest in a paid race/face change on ffxi. We've been posting in the thread and keeping it bumped so that Square Enix would at least consider it. People can change either their race or just their face for a payment, which would involve a simple dat swapping (which is possible due to the fact that it'd be following the same character customization, only this time the gear/levels/spells/skills would be retained.

several people are currently trying to get this pushed through, please if anyone can assist us, give the thread a reply to help it become more noticed by Square Enix. It's an optional service where interested people can change their main's race/face while Square Enix makes money.
