You ever have those moments of clarity where, way too late, you realize there's something you just hate about your character? It's your own damn fault and you know it, but now that one little detail is gnawing at you hatefully. Like their real life counter parts, you realize far too late that tattoo looks stupid. And now you're gonna be wearing it for the rest of the game...
I was up in the air about just rerolling when I realized that my hair color looked much less flattering in game than it did in the character creator. I was only about level 12 when I noticed this and just kinda shrugged it off. Besides, I would get a free appearance reset after a month, I could eat the tacky way-too-silver look for a while before changing it to a bit more organic looking shade.
So I kept playing, attacking content ravenously to make the sprint to end game, because gods be damned, it looked like fun! I was already level 28 and comfortably entrenched in the community when it dawned on me for the first time that 'x' is pronounced 'she'... not 'zee'. I don't know why I thought that. It's my own damn fault for not double checking, but suddenly I was much less pleased with my name. But it's okay, I'll get to redo all of that in another week, I'll just-
Oh... there's no name changes in FF14... well then. I guess I'll tough it out. It's just a name. Gods know I didn't pick my blood elf priest's name with the long haul in mind, but I've grown rather fond of it over the years despite its objective awfulness.
Pushing 34 and no where near the end of the story mode I had a sudden revelation of how I'd like to just throw the whole thing out and start over. Ball it up, throw it in the garbage, and crank out a pretty new streamlined version. You know, like an Apple product. I'd only recently been more frequent on the RP scene, and my yanking and re-tooling the character shouldn't change anything related to anyone else's story or RP.
So here's my question to you: When do you just cut your losses and start over?
