SE, we want to remove "stuck" sandals

Square Enix needs to prove us they know how to model beautiful feet, those "soils" we have are horrible!...

They might never do it though, because the game has poor old code that needs to be fully rewritten in order to make use of new features!...

We have code limitations now and the game is not looking as good as it did five years ago, the Producer has to do something about it!... :(

Well I mean that's all most people need. Besides even with shoes/sandals we float just off of everything that we don't clip straight into so...

Well I guess if they're removing our pants it would only be fair to let female characters have the same feature.

In seriousness yes, barefoot would be nice as an option. Or more sandal options for guys, at the very least.

The subject of getting rid of these stupid "barefoot" sandals comes up every month or two. It's one of my irritations with the game, and I don't want rid of them for sexual reasons either. I've seen two npc's have nothing on their feet whatsoever in two cutscenes now and it leaves me wondering why we can't just have it? There's clipping issues all over the game with all kinds of gear so "it looks funny" doesn't even begin to fly with me.

^ This right here, these people that use this excuse "it won't look good" no one forcing them to use it if it was added.

As much as I have no horse in this race as I honest to goodness don't care either way, this is the lazy mans argument. They could add some of the most ugly or raunchy or 3 story tall mounts that block out the sun and "no one is forcing them" is the only argument mustered?

How about instead of accepting the removal of sandals at the expense of it not looking good and targeting your fellow player for not wanting to stare at club footed battle brides all day- you advocate for it to actually look good. For SE to actually make it a good change.

There's real arguments for and against so many things in these forums but "Lol you dun gatta use it tho" always seems to pop up the most.

Actually, that is incorrect.

There are some NPCs that are completely barefoot, namely the hyurian girls in the baths at Kugane. Also I remember in a livestream, Yoshida's lalafell was barefoot when she was walking around in the beach.
It's a thing, I don't know why they haven't implemented it yet.


Furthermore, yes there are mods that allow characters to go completely barefoot. Sadly, I believe these double as nude mods which I have no interest in whatsoever. Would rather the developer just implement the barefoot option.

Not like the "it won't look good" or "it a silly request" any better argument.

This. When clipping gets to a point where our limited event items do this, I don't think whether it clips or not is their first thought.
