Can we get a "Time of Day" toggle for Group Pose?

It's cumbersome trying to get the right time of day for certain screenshots, and when you angle it just right, it's already dark so you have to wait again. You do have lighting options, but the actual lighting in game tends to differ, so for more believable screenshots I'd rather have the option to choose which hour of Eorzea's day to set the environment to.

A weather toggle as well please!

This is a fabulous idea.

Yes please, I've wanted that often too, especially when finding a great spot for taking screenshots but ti's the middle of the night and you're just passing by

Yep, that too. Sometimes you're just adventuring and find this lovely spot but by the time you're setup, the sun or moon has moved in a way which will make the shot not look good.

This would be an awesome feature. I wouldn't have to keep a close eye on the clock when trying to get a simple picture.

oh hell yeah right when I want to take screenshots its always night time in game and the midday sun is quite good for taking screenshoot

Yes, please. The soft light at sunset in the game is lovely but it only lasts for such a short time that you can never get all the pictures you want. T_T

Dat feel when outta nowhere it becomes cloudy.

Oh god, yes please. As someone most active in glamour-related topics, I find myself needing to grab quick pictures to make a point, and having to wait for good lighting can really hold up a conversation.

Weather options would be even more magical to have. Just think of the amazing moody shots you could take if you could summon a thunderstorm on command (which technically some classes ought to be capable of)!

Yes please! La Noscea has a habit of foiling many an idea for a screenshot by going from Clear skies to showers :| It'd be awesome if I could change the time of day and the weather to suit the theme of the pic I would like to take accordingly! ^^

would love this.

This would be nice. I know my perfectionist girlfriend would love it. She had a day/night split photo she wanted to do with us on our mounts and it ended up being cloudy or something for 2 in-game days. She was there for almost 4 hours (I was also stuck there because /gpose doesn't like mounts, thankfully I was doing other things so I was able to afk while she sat there waiting).

I mean, they turned out good, but still lol.

Yes, please! Weather and time of day can change so suddenly and quickly... And I hate going out to a place for a photoshoot only to find that the lighting is horrible because of the time/weather.

Time of day changes suddenly, you say?

While I understand the core of these complaints, they are kinda silly. Time runs at set pace, and weather changes typically 3 times a day, at very specific times of day, barring a few exceptions that can trigger change (such as Tension in the Shroud), as far as I'm aware.

If you know the time of day you'll get the lighting you want, and you know the weather you want, all you gotta do is check in with the Skywatch for the forecast and you can literally know if/when exactly your conditions will line up.

I wish the day lasted longer in general. It's pretty much night whenever i do anything.

Yeah, but all that requires timing and when you finally get that right angle and right pose, the Sun or Moon has moved in a position that might be unfavorable. We want to be able to take pics as we adventure. :)

I keep trying to get a "sunset on the sea" shot when I see one outside my house, but by the time I go in position, equip decent gear, set the camera angle, lights, color correction and whatnot, the sun has already set. After the 3rd time in a row I figured out it wasn't gonna happen unless I'd sit there waiting for sundown in advance.

Bumping this back to the top, we still need this years later.

bumping because we need this hhhh

Yesss I'd love this! I always seem to find the best spots at night lmao

Yes time of day change, and don't forget about the weather too.
