Something I Would Genuinely Love Is If I Could "combine" Characters...

So, I'm going to be honest for a second:

I actually don't think FFXIV is very enjoyable if you have multiple characters.

The reason is simply that because so much of the game requires you to run around "unlocking" content, and even basic game features, it can be sort of a drag.

I made the mistake of starting a new character when Heavensward came out. See, initially I race-changed my Miqo'te into an Au Ra, but I wound up kind of missing my old Miqo'te that I'd done so many adventures with. So I used another fantasia to go back to his original appearance, and committed to parking the character at lvl 50 and then leveling a NEW character for the Au Ra.

It's a decision I've regretted ever since.

It's honestly a bummer, having completed all this different content between multiple characters. And also, I've completely certain special-events on some characters, but not others. Certain characters have certain content already unlocked, and then others, I have to spend sometimes HOURS googling various requirements and figuring out "where I left off" on certain quests.

If there is one thing that would make me happy with FFXIV, honestly?

It would be being able to "combine" these characters -- whatever quests any of them have completed, ideally whatever their highest level Job was -- into a single character.

I've definitely decided to start playing a single "main character" now, but it's still kind of a bummer knowing there are certain cool items that are locked to my ORIGINAL main. And like I said, just the general confusion of "wait, I KNOW I've already unlocked this thing before... but... which character was it...?"

Anyways, I don't know if that's helpful feedback for the Devs, or if something like that is even POSSIBLE, let alone FEASIBLE. But that's honestly kind of where I'm at. Especially now as I'm eyeballing whether or not I might want to play a Hrothgar, I'm kind of left wondering "well do I get a fantasia, or should I just start from scratch again at this point because EVERYTHING is kind of a mess already".
