no you did not, cause making an whole class to be empty handed is more work than just making the weapon go invisible.

Agree


Ffxiv developers and yoshi-P. Pleas dont rushwhit this. Take it in cosideration more time. But dont do this kind of things only becouse swindress are coming soon. Take care. U can broke the "logical" of a game who is called to be a nextgen MMO. Whit realistic graphics, animations, and dont mess up whit this. Next will be /display monster off?

right.. anyway like i said it's much harder to make the weapon go invisible than them make a new class. Also explain how i am an troll lol...

Edit: Also the once you take out your weapon the command will be turned off meaning you will have to activate it again. Meaning your weapon wont go invisible when you go back into passive.

My only complaint on this is that its going to take TWO patches to fully implement this feature. Why not just wait till its fully ready to go live instead of sending half the feature to us? Stop padding your patches with things that require multiple patches to function fully.

wait.....there is more then one step in making a weapon not appear? ...im so confused right now.

O_o, I feel like no one read the first two pages of this thread before they started posting, as stated earlier, the reason why they want the feature is for the cosmetic costumes, like the santa outfit and the soon to be released swimsuit, the reason why it takes two patches, is because they want you to be able to enjoy the swimsuit. I dont know why the final fantasy forums are full of complaints, be happy you dont need to pay for this game, It is not complete in the developers eyes but people pay for far less in MMO's. The developers dont spend all there time trying to stop the flames that are being spread on the forums. They think of ideas and implement them, there is no "this will trick them into not complaining". Do not over think what they are doing. They are developing the game, they dont try to do anything but that. that is and will remain there focus, this features is a fun feature they want to throw in so people can have fun. That is all it is. Do not over think and turn a little thread like this into a flame filled "what are the devs thinking" post. like 99 percent of the rest of the forum...

And the fact that I have a dagger equipped, but pull out a polearm out of my ass to replace it, isn't as immersion killing?

Well my OP was not actually a complaint at all. I was simply curious if the animations had been thought of regarding the changes that are confirmed as incoming. It was merely a preemptive observation based on what happened when Auto-Attack was instated. I still find myself stopping to unsheathe weapons, due to the animation being clunky looking.

It's funny that people complained about the AA animation when they said they would be clunky till patch 1.19 tho lol

"It's funny that people complained about the AA animation when they said they would be clunky till patch 1.19 tho lol"

I didn't laugh :( what might be funny is SE releasing clunky AA animation to start with. I also love it when you run and put your weapon away, hmm... the work of professionals.

What is wrong with releasing the feature, they can always improve it, your playing the game for free, I think you can be a little less picky about how Inperfect the animation is. They can and will fix it. Just creating character animations and implementing them is not a simple task, each character model needs to be done, for each type of weapon, then you need to test and see if there are bugs with elevation directions your camera is facing while initiating. It is alot of work, something that shouldnt hold up adding the feature. I think you will agree being about to toggle while running is prefered to stopping. Or maybe everyone would rather have it the old way... ah i know, just stop moving and switch, problems solved

write this in the chatwindow: /? /display
Or read the chatcommando list on lodestone

/display underwear on– Display underwear at all times.
/display underwear off – Hide underwear while in passive (and active maybe too?) mode.

display shirt pants off!?!!?!? like this!?!!?

"your playing the game for free, I think you can be a little less picky about how Inperfect the animation is." and "I think you will agree being about to toggle while running is prefered to stopping.

Both excuses for been lazy and rubbish at the job they get paid for.

hmm, I see you left out that part about how the animations take a bit to make, oh well it is at least nice to know you didnt deny that you prefer the ability to toggle and move. I think it is fair to say, a crappy animation issue while being able to move as opposed to stopping is better. Look at that update and tell me if the devs are lazy, they brought so much to the game. as i stated earlier, What is wrong with adding a feature first then modifying it later, MMO's do this all the time. how about being a little grateful instead of calling them trash. I mean clearly you like this game. and guess who designed it. that same trash.

Oh I know, and I have not once complained about the animations, I know the fix is incoming. I'm amazed there has been this much talk on the subject. I merely wanted to make sure it wasn't forgotten during development, as I know SE is busy.

what?

seem like they really care what japanese players request

but don't care whatever western players want

That's not true JP thinks the other way so don't bring that up.

He wasn't complaining.

I was wondering why this was necessary also and your explanation makes perfect sense. No need to rage on anyone because they don't understand the reasoning behind a change.

i'm gonna RP so hard i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
