MH Wilds Vouchers

In Monster Hunter Wilds, you can change your character creation options for both your Hunter and Palico by pressing the Square button on the Save Data Screen after starting the game.

However, this requires a Character Edit Voucher, which you get free once as a trial but must purchase afterward.
