The forum banner is really bothering me

Let me just start this by saying, I don’t know why the banner is bothering me. I’m not terribly too OCD, but it really is bugging the living hell out of me. In the banner at the top of the forums…to the left, there is a samurai. The positioning of the samurai’s arm is irking me far more than it should be. Why? Is his shoulder dislocated? Maybe I need to see the full view, but…god, this is bothering me.

That has always bothered me since the day they updated it for SB. But I'm guessing that what looks like his shoulder is really just the bend of his elbow. He's wearing a kimono and sticking his arm straight up and equipment with baggy arms like that always does funny things because the cloth isn't weighted. It would be easier to see what I mean if we could see the end of his arm.

If that's the bend of his elbow, that makes it even worse to my eyes lol. it looks like his arm is bending downards, but that is a totally awkward angle to be bending an arm from.

lol. I think it's the cloth from his sleeve sagging down. His arm is going straight up in the air, no bend. It's just an optical illusion caused by the Samurai's enormous arm sleeves. :P

If you look at his other arm, the sleeve is large and open. Because of the lack of physics in the clothing, instead of it dropping down it just sticks out. lol. That isn't the bend in his arm, don't worry. The shoulder is also caused by the bagginess of the clothing. Just the fact that it has to wrap around his arm no matter the location and clothes don't behave here as they would in reality. That's all. :)

I think the SAM is yelling for a healer b/c he just dislocated his shoulder.

Here's an exceptionally shitty photoshop mockup of what I mean.

See what the dude in the white on the right is doing? He's doing that. That weird arm looking part is his big baggy sleeve.

This is one of those that when you "see it" you can't unsee it... thanks for that now ...

I hate this thread ... :p :p

Yes. Yes completely. XD

Yeah I thought his arm was janky but it is in fact his sleeve's flappy bit.

His arm is fine, it's the way the SAM gear is designed, it looks as if his elbow's dislocated.

Thank you for the photoshop. That really just bugged me since I joined the forums...I just couldn't keep it in anymore. Plus, need something other than housing to talk about.

Got dang I came across this while at work and I'm in a quite office trying so hard not to laugh out loud this is too funny...I thought I was the only one that noticed this LOL...

It's this picture from the Screenshot section of the Stormblood site, which I think is the ending of the SB benchmark. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/stormblood/

I didn't notice till read this. Now I cannot stop looking that.

OP, I've also had an issue with the SAM dude. It always caught my eye but could never put my finger on it.
