Ifrits Blue flame.

well today i got to meet ifrit in the Ranked missions and it went something like this

** spoiler.. kinda **




my screen shows : scene of prisoners walking
me:"oohhhhhhhhhh"

my screen shows : beastmen start summoning and marks appear on the floor
me: my brain exploded a little bit, follow by a minor nose bleed lol.

my screen shows : Ifrit pops out
me:"woow"

but then...

ifrits spits out a blue flame that is so lame that it actually killed my cutscene experience i went WTF is this!?! marios 8-bit spit fire flower power looked better than that!( as in it dosent look out of place).

am i been to picky about this or does anyone else find it kind of awkward?

It's something of an RL aspect because the hottest part of the flame is blue. This implies that all of the fire than Ifrit breathes is of an extreme intensity. (just speculating lol)

Lets complain about ALL THE THINGS!

I thought it was awesome.

i dont mean the color i mean the quality, i know is some kind of magic flame that does something besides burning but it look kind of out of place, compared to the quality of the flames in torches and spells, this flames look well.. mediocre at best

Oh... Well I don't remember how the quality of it looked, so hmmmm.. Maybe something to do with your graphic settings?

Just went on youtube to see what you were talking about and the flame looked awsome.... what exactly did you expect?

Fail thread is fail

i guess ill tweak my settings then cause it look as if they could do better, im comparing SE camp fire,torch fire and spell fire graphics wich i find very well developed and the blue flame graphics dont seem alike.

im expecting campfire flames quality on ifrits blue flame breath

Ifrit is a Primal, a god even, his flame can look whichever way he pleases!

thats true, and hes pretty bad ass looking cant wait for the fight!

1 - Really hot flames can have different collors.
2 - Ifrit is da man, he could have pink flames for all that I care and
3 - Did you even notice that the blue flames are NOT common flames but part of the whole brainwashing ritual the Amalj'aa performed, or did you just mash X during the cutscene then complained about the color?

He's not complaining about the color, smart guys.

The quality of the effect is much weaker than everything else in that cutscene and all the ones before and after it. It looks like something rendered by a Dreamcast, while the rest of the game looks awesome. The color is fine, the effect is poorly done.

Is that easy enough for you?



I personally agree that it looks bad and doesn't fit with the rest of it all, but it is kind of a minor complaint at this point in the game, where they're still rebuilding large amounts of the core game mechanics. One bad effect during one cutscene is pretty small.

the part where he breaths fire is ok its the burning part im making a note of. its funky looking, seems like a single layer flame with no depth.
but whatever i would keep addressing the subject you people get to defensive as if im trying to kill the game or something.

Everyone knows the hottest part of a flame is blue. (If you didn't you should smack yourselves right now)
GOD FORBID A LITTLE SCIENTIFIC LOGIC IS IN MY FINAL FANTASY! (The effect was cool imo)

NOT THE COLOR OMG READY THE POSTS BEFORE REPLY..
wait i said i was not talking about this any more ups..

lmao

/10char

his flames have copper dust in it duah!!! (copper burns aqua/blue)

The effect it's strangely bad, it's true.
Btw Ifrit it's a friend of nature: he don't burn petrol, but METHAN !

Please read the thread before posting. It's NOT ABOUT THE COLOR.

After watching the CS again I would have to agree with the OP. While the CS is extremely amazing, the only questionable part is the blue flame that is textured in this particular scene. It is not the color in question, but rather the way that it is layered onto the character models after.

On a side note. The CS in FFXIV are well above the typical if not higher end CS's, I would imagine it was particularly difficult as it seems they do most of those parts from actual game play. Either way I still loved the CS and enjoyed watching it again.

Don't know if your joking or you being for real but let's start by stop calling people trolls people are talking about a issue. The point of the forums was to come up with idea and bring new idea on to the table if you can't do this then please leave the forums.

When i did the mission it did not look as bad as the youtube videos so i have no comment for the OP. It look like it was done bad but maybe that was the point of that type of flame.

The reason the blue flame looks so weirdly out of place is because, it's not real. Like, it's not real flame, your character is high after sniffing all those weeds the Amal'ja gave you. Heck, even Ifrit is not real over there! He's at home playing FFXXVIII Online with Garuda and even got a PK on Leviathan.

They either haven't finished alot of their spell effects or they have 2 entirely different standards they are holding themselves to....

Unless you consider the graphical standards of 2 gens ago comparatively awesome and still applicable today (lol?), then the flame graphics simply suck compared to anything current-gen.

(come to think of it, an identical spell effect can be found in the original WoW...)
