I'm also going to be keeping Pandaemic Fleetfoot as a Lalafell. And since Lumia's gonna be making a Male Mi'Quote - I'll be makin a female. o.o It's gonna be awkward.
Well, true the extra character thing is mainly for storage more than for play purposes. That and as I understand it there's going to be no charge for extra characters - plus extra retainers if those are not assigned per account. But realistically I for one only wanted to have certain jobs on my main, and the alt is mainly for flavor. Really I'm just doing it so Lumia's not all by her lonesome w/ her male Mi'Quote
Extra characters are commonly known as "mules". Mules serve as extra storage space (currently +500 slots when coutning the char's retainers), as a personal crafter (so someone can craft on a separate computer while concentrating on battle-related stuff, like hamlets), and less commonly as an extra body for a full-party buff, a detail necesary for things like Relic Quest Leves, which allow maximum participation of 4 people but are difficult enough that the extra 5% stats are necessary.
