Gshade is absolutely fine because it in no way interacts with any FFXIV file, it interacts with Direct X. Works under the same premise as Discord. Discord is also a 3rd party program but no one wants to bring that up in discussion because common sense would tell you it is able to. Despite of course Discord giving users an unfair advantage in clearing content. Honestly with how this community is I'm suprised people aren't banned for using Discord with FFXIV.
It's different from those other mods out there that directly interact with the game that aren't allowed, even though they all should be but that's another discussion altogether.
It's actually not fine and nowhere near the same as discord. You operate it in-game and it manipulates the scenery. Files are stored in a different space from normal shots. If you submit a modded shot to one of those screenshot giveaways, you could get yourself in trouble.
I've been wondering this for a very long time too. We have answers from Square, and Yoshida himself on the matter that it *is* okay, but I'd like to stream with it on (and use it in general, tbh) and seeing that literally no other streamers (as far as i can tell, i've heard Asmongold uses it) use it, it makes me a bit nervous. I'd love to be able to use it :C so whats the verdict?
Burn the Gshade users, burn them, burn them!!!
I don't think that's necessary, or reasonable..
I guess it's changed. If I'm wrong, show me some proof.
