Glowing effects on "upgraded" gear.

To compensate, the dev strategy has apparently been to keep the kids distracted with progressively outlandish looking (but ultimately useless) trinkets. -- eg. Mounts, Minions, crazy looking gear, giant glowing weapons, outlandish housing furniture, vanity gear, etc, etc...



In fact, it probably won't be much longer until you'll see:

Ugh, looks like a P2W game.

Yeah, the glow effect is most common in those "free to play but pay to win" games. I just think it's a tactic to allure the young audience who no financial responsibility/obligations to burn a hole in their parents pockets. It looks super tacky, though and I hate that it's becoming common in XIV.

Greetings,

Thanks for the suggestion! The development team will look into whether or not they can implement an option where you could toggle the glowing effect on and off for your character and other players.

Thank you very much! I await the final response from the team.

I agree, I would really like an option to turn off these glows. There is just too much of it everywhere nowadays...they don't look nice, in my opinion. They're kind of tacky.

The only "glow" that I actually like is the one from the monk relic weapon, imo it actually looks nice. (even thought I don't have a lvl 50 MNK myself. :P)

It's true that too much glow on weapons make them look really weird, I was surprised when I saw that they implemented glow effects like that in ARR, I can't imagine what it would look like in armor in here but I just hope it's not something like this.

The glowing armor in this game at least look non-obnoxious. Pretty good taste by the art team imo.
