Miniatures (...again)

Hello!

I do realise we just got two threads regarding this topic but after spending the weekend with my miniatures I have a list of "request" related to that, that didnt really fit in either of those threads (nor the general request thread, since I feel this is a thing that can easly be singled out)
Let me say right away that I generally like the miniatures (even though I consider it a bit lazy that they stopped making primal themed furniture...), but I feel there is a lot that can and should be improved so that we can really enjoy them to there fullest!
Related to that I have a list of requests/issues I came across while arranging my miniatures - feel free to add to it! :)

1) I'd like to see maxi-versions of all the miniatures! Around the size of the GC-modell for example - specially for mansions and middle-sized houses it would be really great to just have one nice big statue to fill one corner of a room!

2) A special shelf/podest to display them properly! The ones we're having ingame arent suited for them (no, I'm not placing my epic mini-niddhog on the little ladies day shelf - and with the blue stands are being so huge they dont really fit on the little podestal either; the potd-cube is doing the trick kinda, but more options would be really nice here!)

2.1) One solution could be to somehow give us the ability to adjust the height of the stand - dont know how that could work technically, but since I'm all for saving items I could settle for three "heights" of that blue stand or so (like it is now, the height of a table, the height of the little podest for example)

3) Give them the ability to light up! A lot of them are not only very small but also very black-grey-ish (Nidhogg, Alexander, Ultima, Odin, the Magitek...) - its very difficult to see the details or admire them as something else but a black... thing. I tried my best to get the light just right for them, but I feel it could help a lot if they came with their own light-up-ability! I could either imagine the stand glowing (not blue ofc...) or giving them sort of "light-bubbles" around them. I do realise that it would be to nice to have that little white arrow all the time though :( (but maybe there could be a way to make it disappear enterily? :confused: )

4) Mini-Sephirot, as already requested. I want to finish my collection!

Edit: To make it easier to follow for everyone (including possibly the devs, thanks a lot for passing this on btw! :D) I will add the suggestions that are coming in once in a while!

5) Make the blue stand dyeable!

6) Add effects to the miniatures (but make it possible to toggle them off)

7) Overhaul the Sophia Miniature (make it bigger, polish it, add the daughter...)


Miniature requests

- Hraesvelgr
- Godbert
- Magitek Cruise Chaser
- Warrying Triade Trio (as one statue, maybe as bigger version, possibly new indoor fountaine?)

Please make the ugly blue stand dyable. If it were dyable I'd actually have some of those minis in my house.

It IS pretty hideous.

Look at how it ruins my poor Scathach display. LOOK AT IT.

Can we PLEASE do something about this, SE? T_T

Yes to all the suggestions made by the OP, and yes to being able to dye the stands as well, that blue is so harsh.

Hello adventurers!

Thank you for your feedback regarding miniatures and furnishing! We have relayed your feedback from this thread to the dev. team. Please feel free to continue to share any additional ideas you may have for bringing these miniatures to life! Well, preferably not actually to life, as that could be dangerous for your visitors... but I digress.

We're looking forward to hearing your thoughts! :)

I'd end up dyeing most if not all of the blue stands a red.

I vote for the golden statue of Godbert in the gold saucer!!!!!!

And it needs to be a reasonable amount of mgp, not the insane mount prices.

I feel like it should cost ALL the MGP. I mean, look how big it is! And it's GODBERT.

Might consider renovating my apartment into a Godbert primal shrine if we actually do get it.

I'd like a miniature of the Cruise Chaser...

It would be awesome if they all had a little effect to them. Nidhogg, for example could use those circles that displays while he's off flying around. Or even have the effect on them similar to what the birds have - like the gold sparkles for Sophia, the dark purple shadows for Nidhogg, etc.

Please make it toogle-able. There are times where just the default miniature will be sufficient.

I would also like a Golden Godbert to admire!

I love the miniatures, but I also miss the primal furniture. . . Like I really would like Scathach's throne <3

Also, maybe we can get a Hraesvelgr miniature to put in contrast to a Niddhog miniature?

I kind of had the same issue, but I found the Manor Flower Stand and the Glade Floor Lamp to work great for now. Maybe it will help fill the need for some of you, until a solution is created.

That color contrast from the base though...

Sephirot needs a miniature so he can be displayed with his other Triad members it's odd Sophia and Zurvan have one but not him! also dyable bases would be nice to make them more furnishing friendly.

That looks great, but it sucks having to use 3 item slots for 1 furnishing.

I agree with pretty much all the above suggestions and would also like to suggest that the devs go back and upgrade the Sophia miniature. Compared to her peers (especially new ones like Scathach, Zurvan, Diabolos), her miniature looks very low-quality (and she's TINY).

she needs her "daughter" and to be scaled up a little bit

This is how I ended up decorating the miniatures btw - certainly not ideal (really liked that idea with the manor podests, but uurgh... 3 items >.<)

http://i.imgur.com/RmOmb0v.jpg

Still haven't find anything matching to use as a display stand that can handle the item count, size and color contrast (for the base) so far...

With all these new airship miniatures, I would like a 'modelmaker' NPC that I could trade a given airship miniature to and receive separate hull, rigging, forecastle, and aftcastle parts. Then for a fee be able to mix and match said model parts like we do in the workshops to produce custom airship miniatures.

Also, somehow remove the base from the airship miniatures completely so I can totally have them flying around my room.

Actually after some thoughts, can we just get an option to hide the base please? Would be nice to float some of the new miniature in midair, especially the airships.

I agree, they should be animated and have some light for the dark ones, but to be toogle-able as well.

Also, they should add more creepy miniatures so I could add them to my cursed and haunted crypt aka FC room.

- Display stand: to make it dyeable. My FC room's light is at 0 and I can still see the blue of the display stands.

Yes, yes, this is somewhat of a necro, but I figured better than making a new topic since I'm actually more after possible new information and not so much after discussing the topic again.

I kinda want to decorate our FC-house again and was thinking about basing certain parts of the design around the miniatures. Before I go ahead with that it would be nice to know: Are you working on any changes we suggested here?
And, actually most important: are we going to see that Sephirot-Miniature any time soon? I mean... c'mon guys, let me have the full trio >.<

Let us necro together then:
a rotating tree with tiers, like one of those displays at a store, with "shelf" spots you can put the miniatures into and they'll slowly rotate around the middle. http://i.imgur.com/GPs3Dr6.jpg
like this.. but.. nicer with flat round platforms on the arms.. and it should spin .
.. and I'd like a pony while I'm wishing for the moon.

What are people using to display Bahamut? I haven't purchased him from the Mog Station yet, but want to.

First off: You can get a version of him in game! Its boutgh with FC-seals, granted but: No need to spend real money on it!

http://de.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/eb50a3f8da3/

I have placed him on the "coil-table" (http://de.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/5a39e45b4cd/) and placed this thing: http://de.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...m/3cbfea5137d/ under it, so it looks as if hes trapped in the bubble when activated.

I'm a big fan of the primal designs in this game, and it'd be awesome to see the older primals get their own miniatures. Especially Garuda. I love Garuda.

Speaking of primal miniatures, I made a little shrine to Lakshmi. I love Lakshmi! One of my favorite primals now.

In Skyrim, I really appreciated how each Aedra had his/her own shrine design, and I think it'd be fun if we could somehow customize little shrines for each primal, like a display. When I made this shrine, it took me a while to find a suitable table. Maybe we could get something like an alcove that's meant to hold miniatures, or some sort of platform that can hold a miniature and other decorations. It'd also be nice if we could dye the base of the miniatures. Just a thought. If anything, I'd just really like to see the older primals get some love.

You can get the in-game one Vidu mentioned, but there is a difference between it and the Mogstation version: the Mogstation one has special effects! This is what I tend to do with mine:

He's sitting on an Order of Nald'thal Lectern, with a Crystal Tower mini behind him.

Please, make it possible to dye the stands. That blue pretty much clashes with everything. It would be so nice to be able to match the stand to the rest of the room. Please...

At this point of time, I just wish we can have an option to toggle off the base, like make it invisible. Lesser work for the graphic team and (imo) easier for players to work with the miniatures. Of course it would be perfect if we can both dye and hide the base, but that's probably asking for a tad too much, as much as I'd love that to happen.

Since I'm seeing threads related to the miniatur (base) pop up again, I'd kinda like to necro this one and ask: what happend to our feedback...?
