We need a Transformation Revamp.

Kinda wish they were at least customizable. I love how my Nascent can instead of an angelic thing, can be a dragon instead. Would love to see Edios for Beast/Paladin/DK or at least the ability to use a cosmetic rank A look while rank 1 or something.
Cosmetics at the very least.
As for the stats, I do feel that I receive a decent boost along with the passives. I go from around 2k HP to 3.2k HP on my All R1 Dark Knight transformation.
Paired with a lvl 200 Jack pet and R1 Divine Link, It brings it up to about 3.7k HP, 2.5k MP, and 2.3k STAM, which is pretty good to me.
My Stats generally also increase a decent amount, from STR going gaining around 100-400. But then again, DK is a little more random.
The enchants could also help, but I find myself never really using transformation aside from a quick MP recovery. Of course, others may use it in battle quite often, but I find that it suits my needs well.
And unless these enchants provide a massive stat boost, most would probably opt to use enchants that are constantly active regardless of transformation.
TL;DR
COSMETICS!
I think it would be cool if players could pick any of their previous transformation appearances as long as they have already reached the required skill rank to to use it. they could have a manage button on the skill list for your main transformation skill like dance of death does. just like players can select what dance they want for appearance purposes only for dance of death players could see icons of the forms they have obtained with their transformation and pick any of them.
as a bonus they could release transformation effects as rare drops in dungeons. for example a dark knight could transform, by punching the ground like how giants transform or elves could transform into Falcons looking like they are being consumed by darkness like how dark knights look. this way players could pick the transformation appearance they want to use and how they look while transforming. dark knight transformation effect as a rare drop in Albey dungeon, falcon transformation effect as a rare Longa dungeon drop, paladin transformation as a rare Barri dungeon drop, and beast transformation effect as a rare drop in the Par Ruins dungeon.

Allow use of current 1st and 2nd Title while in your Transformation as a Falcon.
That way low level players can still benefit from this transformation from the flat increase while higher level players gain benefits from both flat and bonus increase that grows with them in order to keep it viable as well as being seen as useful instead of it being forgotten.
Then you can focus on your build from here.
Maybe instead of adding Divinity, maybe they should've merged transformation, demigod, brionac, spirit weapons, Echostones, AND crusader into a customizable form of Divnity. Since the lore did say you're using all of it at once.
A form that has reforges, a spirit weapon you choose (and it can be any weapon) that can be repaired by AP that buffs your "divinity skills" while equipped, the ability to use all demigod/crusader skills, and the ability to choose what stat bonuses you can have sounds like the perfect climactic form you attain during your ascension to godhood.
Not a hammer game and maybe two fireballs every 36 minutes.
You're sounding like me lol. I think the game has too many moving parts and I always want to merge things into elegantly cohesive and intuitive systems. This gets two thumbs up from me. Don't forget alban emblems and falias relics.
1) Give humans an animal transform too
2) Allow combined P/Dk with animal transform so paladin/Beast, dark knight/falcon, etc. and let the bonuses stack
3) allow going back and forth between paladin and dark knight indefinitely like you can with demi a la morgan/nemhain
EDIT: and ( 4 ) allow E/G to become P/Dk too. Oopsies!
You could bring back the original G2/3/5/6 and shove the human animal transform in G4. Since the original G5/6 were during "the war" maybe add a time travel element to go back to the original vales and filia. Maybe give it a feather like Avon so you can revisit. Whatever.
Heck we can even add dyeing options
Yeah, Falcon first form, the red one is the best looking. The last one looks kinda sissy; nothing personal. Same with Beast the second last female form has the best hair.
It might be more efficient to try also submitting suggestions to the Korean forum. Google translate isn't the best but that's what I use.
Well that was my point. If you have a player who is total level 100,000 they will have too much compared to early and mid-game players, and will have an unfair advantage. Imagine being an alchemist with 7k HP from transformation, flameburst is based off current HP. It would have to cap somewhere to be fair to lower level players. (If you started the game 10 years ago versus a brand new player, they will never catch up to someone like that)
Maybe that idea doesn't bother some people, but I know it would bother alot of lower level, brand new players, and demotivate them to want to play the game when they know they can never catch up properly.
As for "unfair advantages", lets have a long drawn out discussion about reforges on NA where the feature has been locked behind a paywall despite content being designed around reforged gear and reforging being an ingame option in the game's region of origin via the Mysterious Reforge in the ducat shop and gachapon-only enchants and armor then, lets talk about the over 100 max from a pair of creepy+haunted accessories and how unfair that is before we try to say someone who's played the game being a higher level and having stats to show for it than someone who just made their account has an "UNFAIR" advantage and the parallels to a hypothetical middle schooler being angry about not having a senior engineer level job the moment they decide they want some summer work. Of course that may not be the greatest comparison since I'm suggesting the bonuses do have caps, where as capitalism does not have caps but I'm sure most people will understand the implications.
Leveling has been completely trivialized and I've got to 35k in around 2 years playing more casually than the 25k in around 7 years on my other character this argument holds no water post Blaanid+Baltane and the constant flurry of rebirth and forgetful potions that are dumped in our inventories from events now.
The reforge paywall is definitely a problem.
But yeah, it would be nice if the initial transformations got an update. It would be cool if each one had it's own unique skills for certain races, like dark knight could sacrifice health for more combat and magic power for themselves and a party, or a Paladin could give health regen to itself and a party. It would also be nice if dark knight could get some darkness skills and Paladin could get some light skills. For example, dark knight's animal control could become an "animated shadows" power that creates helpers in missions. It would allow for more unique transformations rather than just giving us a small stat boost. I remember back when the best thing you could do was combine demi with your other transformation (depending on your choice of race and generation quest).
I think all the transformations should be able to be customized from the dressing room, and you could get different skins and things like Eidos you could buy with Pon or something (Someone was just saying that they wish Pon was more useful, and I think this would be a fun way to implement it.). I just don't want to have to do random quests no one wants to do for customization options... It's one thing to spam a shadow mission, but no one likes the Girgishay and Tech Duinn missions from what I've seen. I think it would be easier to purchase them from the dressing room, and would allow Nexon to make some extra money.
