Final Fantasy 14: Complete Guide To Fashion Accessories

Here's everything you need to know about Fashion Accessories in FFXIV, including a breakdown of each one and how to get it.

There are a few ways that Final Fantasy 14 allows you to change your character's appearance, whether through in-game methods or by purchasing items through the online store. Let's take a look at how to change up your style.

Updated June 28, 2024: Final Fantasy 14 is a very, very long game, and it can get a bit boring staring at the same old Warrior of Light for hours on end - changing up your appearance is the solution to such boredom! We've included the new way to get a free Fantasia from Dawntrail.

How To Get A Fantasia

A Fantasia is a unique item that will allow you to change your character's entire appearance. There are currently three ways of getting a Fantasia.

How To Get Fantasia For Free

• You will receive a free Fantasia as a quest reward from the quest 'The Ultimate Weapon', which is the final quest of the original A Realm Reborn storyline.
• You can also get a free Fantasia by completing the quest'Bottled Fantasy', which is part of the Dawntrail expansion.

There are only two ways to get a Fantasia for free, so be sure to use them wisely.

How To Purchase Fantasia From The Optional Item Store

The only other way to get a Fantasia is to purchase it for real money. They can be purchased through the Optional Items store on the Mog Station for $10 / €7 / £5.75 / ¥1080.

You can purchase multiple Fantasia at a time, in packs of either three or five. If you purchase a pack, the price ends up being cheaper than if you had bought all five Fantasia individually.

Fantasia Is Included In The Heavensward Collector's Edition

Alternatively, you can purchase the Heavensward Digital Collector's Edition, which will give you one Fantasia, among other in-game bonus items like the Flying Griffin Mount. Keep in mind you can only purchase this upgrade once, so if you need additional Fantasias, you'll have to buy them through the usual means.

If you have an account from when Final Fantasy 14 had the Veteran Rewards feature implemented, you might have received a Fantasia from your subscription time. Fantasias from the Colletor's Edition and old Veteran Rewards program will appear in the inbox of every new character you make, provided you were eligible to begin with.

How To Use A Fantasia

When you use a Fantasia, you will essentially create your character's appearance as if you are making a new character. You will be able to start completely over from scratch or edit small features of your existing character's appearance.

A step-by-step guide on how to use a Fantasia is listed below.

1. Select and use Fantasia from your inventory.
2. Unequip gear and log out (you do not have to unequip your weapon).
3. Select 'Re-edit Character' from the character selection sub-menu.
4. Choose to load appearance data or start from scratch. Your choice.
5. Change your character's race, gender, voice, and other appearance options.
6. Finalize your changes.
7. Log back in to see your new appearance.

If you decide you don't want to change your appearance, you can instead log in again without doing anything. You will keep the option to edit your character until you decide to do so.

As of Patch 7.0, you will now have 60 minutes of playtime to re-edit your character as many times as you want after using Fantasia. This is real time but only counts when you are logged in, so if you you change your character appearance and log out within ten minutes, when you next log in you still have 50 minutes left to change your character as much as you like.

How To Use The Aesthetician

If you only want to edit minor things about your character's appearance, like their hairstyle or hair color, you can use the Aesthetician. This NPC will allow you to edit basic parts of your appearance without spending money on a Fantasia. To unlock access to the Aesthetician, you will need to complete the following quest.

• 'Beauty Is Only Scalp Deep' - S'Dhodjbi, Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks (X:11, Y:11)

You will need to be level 15 and have previously completed the Main Scenario Quest 'Call of the Sea' to accept this quest.

After unlocking the Aesthetician, you can access him from any Crystal Bell item. You can find the Crystal Bell in any Inn Room, or purchase one for yourself to place in your house or apartment. It will cost 2,000 Gil to change your appearance here.

Through the Aesthetician, you can change the following aspects of your character's appearance.

• Hairstyle
• Hair Color
• Eyebrows
• Lip Color
• Facial Features
• Tattoos
• Tattoo color
• Face Paint
• Face Paint Color

If you've unlocked any additional hairstyles, the Aesthetician is the perfect place to try them on.
