Am I misreading or was this worded improperly? It already doesn't cost a prism to cast a glamour from the dresser, only to store something.

I have no comment on the patch notes. 6.4 is kind of underwhelming for me personally since I don't care about savage raiding or BLU. But this:

Spitting facts tbh. The cosmetic side of things has been sorely lacking and player made content makes up for it in a big way. Even if most of it is just ported from other games, it's still... stuff. Customization stuff. That people are desperately craving. Just saying, SE, if you don't want cosmetic modders having a foothold in your game, maybe step it up, idk. Even from just a moneymaking perspective, this game's full of missed opportunities for the company. If I were in charge of this department, I'd legit just sell a school uniform set that was actually form fitting, and came with a plaid skirt option and some leggings or pantyhose or something to go underneath. The top might be a cute cardigan or something, and it'd all be dyeable. The actual "top" part would consist of the cardigan and the skirt; the "bottom" would just be the pantyhose. In this way, players who obtained this set could mix and match pantyhose into their existing sets since people have been low key wanting this for a while. Then I'd put it in the shop as a giga bundle for 50 dollars and proceed to make enough money to make the game free to play for years if I wanted to. There'd be an option for males as well and it'd be a cute af blazer set or something, but men could also buy the skirt if they wanted, and vice versa.

Like seriously, they clearly don't care about keeping any kind of coherent fantasy theme anyway (we have sweaters, cars, flying balloons, polka dot swimsuits, etc) so they might as well give people what they want. And this is me taking the cynical moneymaking approach. In a "Right thing to do" kind of sense, you're a damn buy to play subscription based game that offers nothing for months at a time. Doing better would mean literally lifting a finger. All this cash shop cosmetic shit should be in the base game.

Do any of you feel like this?

Nope! Can't wait to do more story, the new trial and dungeon, and 8-man raids.

I never take off work for video game patches though, so I don't have the levels of hype of using PTO for patches you had.

It sounds like now you can do it through the old glamour prism interface and it will draw items from the dresser and armoire into that list.

Now I know they are really lacking, the Hroth especially and they should be given because they really let the races down, but come on the last decent long hair they gave was in Shadowbringers! It seems because they made the races half finished they are playing catch up and leaving the other races with hairstyles from 2010. From the lack of nice gear and also just reskinning it seems they are not really that bothered anymore. I do not use mods and never would but I have to say I can understand why people do if this is all we can get in 2023.

They're not even playing catch up very well. I didn't know Yoshi-P's "10 year plan for FFXIV" was actually just how he gets Viera and Hroths to have equal features to the others.

"After a ready check is completed, a sound effect dependent on the result will now play."

That won't be abused, no, of course not.

I'm sure when both (or at least Hrothgar for sure) won't be on equal footing after 10 years, he'll shed some more crocodile tears while doing the usual "Please understand".

Oh good. Cause I got confused as it comes off as they were adding a new system without any mention or explanation. I'm sure they'll fix the mistranslation with the release of the full patch notes.

Added some new QoL stuff, which is nice. As for the rest of the patch, it's all the same. But then again, I can't say I have ever felt super excited to play a patch. Definitely not to the extent that I book off work. Not even for EW. So I don't feel any more or less than I usually do for a patch.

New iLVL is nice. I always do like getting stronger.

I will say, I am slightly disappointed that we didn't get any new hair. But c'est la vie, I suppose.

Can we please stop adding capes to everything and ruining perfectly good armor designs?
They move like jank, look like jank, clip into tails like jank and we have them on both the tomestone and raid gear this time...
