Changing the Race of Saved Characters?

Is this possible? I wish to create a new character using an old save file that I have, keeping all the dimensions intact. I only wish to change the Race from CAST to Newman. Is there a short method to doing this? Or is the only way to take screenshots of my old character and try to recreate everything? Personally I dislike spending hours in the character creator so if there is a faster way of doing so, any help would be appreciated.

It's not a quick thing, but it should work.

EDIT: From a bit further in that thread, the simpler method: http://www.pso-world.com/forums/show...7&postcount=28

From the phantasy star games i've played there's no way that I know of in which you can change a characters species. Although i'm almost sure I saw something from a while ago that said you could do something similar
