Yeah, you only get one go at customization before you re-hire them. It appears that you can release and hire a new retainer as many times as you want though. So, if you feel like a change later, you can take all the items off of one, release, hire, and customize - as tedious as that is.
I really do hope they let us dress them up later. ;u; It's probably redundant at this point after all the character creation screenshot threads, but I'd love to see how everyone designed their retainers. I made Torn's into two Sea Wolves that look like they could be brother and sister. Hehe.
Personality determines what their one-liners are when you call and dismiss them. Because SE has said we'll be able to use our houses as storefronts, it also makes me wonder if they'll have dialogue based on their personality when someone else interacts with them as well.

As per the original question, yes. The customization is a 1 time deal. You hire a retainer and then customize their appearance, choose personality, and name them (the old 1.0 name will come up during a prompt at the end if you had a 1.0 retainer, allowing you to keep the name or change it). After you finish, you'll be able to access any items from 1.0 that were left in your original retainer(s).
The customization is pretty sweet though. It's identical to the regular character creator, except it doesn't force you to leave the game or anything. It's built right in
Yea, during phase 3 i saw that weird attire. if they at least gave us color options lol. Well I'm sure they know we would like to see a vanity option on the retainers, but Having them back is good enough and theres much else they'd likely rather focus on for launch/post launch anyway so its fine heh.
What does the, personality thing involve? I saw it mentioned but they really didnt say much of what it did.
