"well akshully he just rasisstt"

The so called """""heroine""""" can commit genocide of an entire planet but god forbid someone tried to undo that even if it meant doing morally debatable things.

Emet selch is an antagonist. Quite clearly, there are no good players on this field of chess, but for some reason y'all are convinced otherwise.

Why are yall derailing a request for ancient masks with Emet/Venat wank. Whine about the story in the lore forums, I just want the mask :I

I'm sorry that discussion happens on a forum, it is quite clearly to the detriment of your request that the post it isn't filled with

"Yes /10charlimit"

But yes, add it idc.

Arguing in circles about something unrelated to the topic is does not constructive request make.

It's a literal REQUEST, they'll either decide yes or no, at that point you could literally lock the 1st post and just measure the amount of likes, if the request is seen it'll be considered either way, saying yes in 3000 diff ways will not have an impact.

How does the request get seen? The post being bumped and being visible? I could paste a recipe here for all it matters.

Aye, we should take the Venat vs Emet msq arguments into the female hrothgar thread next. Then the savage delay feedback thread after that and a couple of island sanctuary threads. Maybe even that one thread thats asking for the ability to wear blush and eyeshadow at the same time too, just for good measure :^)


And on topic, cause my cat nearly knocked my mask off my shelf:
I would actually like both the mask with filigree and the simple version the faceless ancients wear. The proper one is prettier, for sure, but the simple one is still quite cute.

can I also get a canon black Azem mask as housing item while we're at it?

I just had a mental image of it being a housing skin, that has the mask across the entire front face.

As much as I simp for the Ancients and this is known on this forum, Rokke is right. Take the Venat x Emet shipping wars back to the threads we MADE FOR THAT please, and don't derail the thread. If this thread gets locked or ignored due to infighting, we'll never get the masks and other glams we wish for so badly, k? ;3

Just make it a shop item if it's not in the normal development budget, i gladly would force feed SE cash for ascian/ancient masks...please SE we want to be milked can't you see that? <sob>

I actually think the mask is hideous. It's really ugly, but some of the convocation's masks are kind of alright. Kind of cheesy though, like what a supervillain would wear in a cartoon. Regardless, it should be an option for players.

I think a "hood up" version is unlikely as it doesn't currently exist, but the face mask and maskless robe are right there to be used.




I would definitely like them to put in more cheap Mog Station* items like the ARR Scion sets for other NPCs that use generic gear and don't need any work to resize for other models. They could even be made unisex.

Characters like Ysayle, G'raha (CT outfit) and Moenbryda would give us all-class versions of gear that is currently locked to one group.

There is still a fairly long list of unique outfits we haven't gotten, either. City leaders and such. (I still want Raya-O-Senna's coat and flower hairpin.)

Also, more NPC weapons. There are a few nice ones around.

* yes, I would prefer it in-game even more, but realistically Mog Station is the only place we ever get NPC sets.




I feel like Solus's robes are more viable for NPC gear than the Exarch's robes.

Also Gaius's Shadowhunter outfit seems more likely than his Garlean armour. The armour is weirdly proportioned since they're trying to bulk up an Elezen model to look like a different build.

---

It’s still possible to include it. Since Odin’s armour shares the same assets as his and the centurion’s gear, and it’s worn by all races. Also, as many of you already know, Yoshida confirmed that he’s lifting the ban off the Garlean gear now. So it’s possible.

Also the hood. I was so upset trying to find a hood for the ancient glam as a caster and there just isn't one that fits. It could be a adjust visor type of thing

---

Probably. My friend and I were so disappointed when we got to Elpis and the ancients were suddenly just Hyur and spoke Japanese. The ethereal beings you met in Amaurot with their musical language just felt very different. I guess they made up for it a little bit by making Hythlodaeus hot but I'd still prefer ancients to be exactly like in Shadowbringers.

I think FFXIV should take more inspiration from the likes of WoW and TESO by making more outfits wielded by NPC's available for use. Not only does it benefit roleplayers the argument of 'immersion' went out of the window when the game added glamour that looks straight out of the modern day real world.

Do you know you're playing a Final Fantasy game? Modern clothes is absolutely immersive

Adjust visor only works with head pieces, not body. And I'm not certain but it could potentially also run into issues with whether the hair model is turned on or not.

The simple (possibly only) solution is separate hood-up and hood-down robes.
