Adult Content, Can I have it?

Now that we have some content for the kiddies, can we please have some more content that would appeal to those of us that are 18 and older?

My wifes kids (7 and 8 year olds) see people running around with weapons with moogles on them and wonder if they can play and have one of those too? I've also just viewed the video introducing magic carpet rides on the heads of Goobbue. I would class both of these things as stuff that would appeal to the younger generations and probably some of the adults with kiddy tendencies still in them.

Now that you have had a little fun, can we have some content that might appeal to those of us who think a piest type mount would be cool or battles with monsters rather than soft squishy creatures that we thought were our friends?

Just a suggestion. Would think the crowd can only take so much of weapons that look more like a child's toy rather than a serious looking weapon that could do damage (a salad fork for a lance?).

I rest my case, lol.

Ok everyone, light your flame throwers. Ready? Go!

I absolutely agree!
Just because things are pretty doesn't mean they have to be childish!!! (like the stupid looking Moogle weapons!)

But lol, when I saw the name of the topic I thought you were suggesting something else lmao. I think there's enough of THAT in the miner guild and the Fisherman quests xD

Musketeer gets a Gears of War-esque Fully Automatic Rifle w/ undermounted chainsaw.
Immediately gets to be the most OP class in the game.
Can tank with Chest-High Wall ability 'Cover'
In melee range? Chainsaw is OHKO
out of melee range? 'Active Reload' Raging Strikes x Berserk x Blood 4 Blood. Stacks w/ B4B too. -> 'Longshot Headshot' Switch to the Longshot and kill your target. Combo's with 'Hammer of Dawn' - Kills everything in area of effect. Suicidable: Yes.
New moogle strat is MUS MUS MUS MUS MUS MUS MUS CON. (Con just incase.)
Kill time is 30 seconds after momento.

Best. Game. Ever. Yeah, I'm off to play GoW.

Inb4 flamers - YES I'M JOKING. While some mature content would be good, I can play other games already for this.

I totally agree that a lot of things seem to appeal more to kids. I'd really like to stress how unimpressive the "HNMs" of XIV are--I think it ties into the "adult content" request.

I think SE needs to focus on impressive bosses and gear that will appeal to us "seasoned adventurers." So you have two giant buffalo, much like XI had two giant rams. I get it--the big, climactic bosses will come later. But where is Shadow Lord? The final main story quest at level 50 for XIV is against a flying stick with Alexander-like moves and some soldiers.

So far, nearly every mission of mine has been against squishy or silly-looking creatures. Yarzons, deer, squirrels, etc.

I realize that I'm comparing near-release (well, not really, but...pre-re-release?) HNMs to ones that developed over 3-4 expansions in XI. However, coming from XI, I kind of had an expectation that they would improve on what they'd learned. Not start over.

On top of that, look at the buffalo which the used for two different scary NMs--they look chilled out, or maybe even content. Not angry and intimidating like a high-leveled NM should.

And if I wasn't already thoroughly disappointed, what do they make a big deal out of? A moogle named "Good King Moogle Mog XII".

I'm not saying I want them to remake these things before 2.0. However, for 2.0 I'd definitely like to see a shift towards scary/impressive creatures and equipment. Not that I don't respect the effort it took to model those imperial war machines. I couldn't imagine! The end results, though, look, well... like I said earlier: like flying sticks.

The armor and weapon that Raubahn has, in a certain quest cut-scene, is frickin awesome. We definitely need more armor and weapons like that. Same with the Empires armor and weapons.

From Helmets with horns, to a blade with water inside it. Final Fantasy has always impressed me with the gear/item designs (concept art is always cool in like the instruction manuals, or on the packaging, in the FF logo) along with the elaborate trippy graphic spells (Especially in the later games). 14 has really yet to impress me with this.

I just hope that the "Artifact Gear" for the jobs is going to be on a similar scale of coolness.

Based on the size of the pictures my bet is on the buffalo =p

Also speak for yourself, I find yarzons terrifying. They're all limbs and creepy looking.

D= I tried to match the width, and that happened. xD

But as far as yarzons, they look too much like promy monsters from XI. Whose @$$es I've kicked too many times to get any real enjoyment out of killing them by another name in XIV.

Completely misleading title. :/

Indeed...i was lured here looking for some undies unequipping or suggestive emotes petition..."adult content" has nothing to do with this topic =P

This is a japanese game man, in Japan Kawaii culture is fine for all ages, if its cute you can like it from 2-80 in Japan, don't put you're judgement on them, they're trying to fan service the japanese into staying with the game right now. Maybe we'll get some fan service later, but they make up more population now.

Okay. I'll give you that. I actually like most of their recent cute additions. But it's really not everything this game needs. It seems to me like kawaii-esque gear and models would be more suited to event items. I just think the game could use some more solid content as much as, if not more than, "fan servic[ing] the [J]apanese."

I really support this. I really had thought they were steering the game in an exciting new direction back when the Ifrit videos and weapons were first revealed, but as usual they seem to be stepping backwards with the newer additions.

I support ya OP. I love cute things but yeah I agree..we need more adult/badass stuff in this game. I have 0 interest in getting the moogle weapons lol don't really care for the hello kitty look >.< (If others do thats fine, no hate here :D ) I wish we could have sexy looking armor too ; ;

This isn't what I thought it was. . .

My eyes! X____X Way to sneak that in there.

...it's getting to be what you thought it was. If you keep that up. ;P Or...keep those down?

Lol.

I think the word is "intense" (I must admit that some Grimm fairy tales are quite intense for children's stories)

I would love some intense looking mobs and gear. Dark, oozing, spikes. Terrifying glowing eyes. And that ROAR...

Wait did I just describe Ifrit? Naw... Ifrit ROARS like me getting out of bed. Ha!

But you know what? Intense, dark and terrifying is just as much about presentation as it is about artwork. But SE would never think about just throwing around some Nasty NMs without so much as a word other than, "Strange happenings have been spotted around Eoreza. We urge our beloved adventurers to exercise caution..."

And then throw some massive flesh-eating devil worm into one of the many caves around Halatali. (Boy I would scream...) and that it would move through those many caves around Halatali... and pop only under the gaze of the full moon... and devour people who were carelessly ignorant of the dark glowy eyes that peered at them from the dark. Or perhaps, if the ventured into the tunnels and turned the corner and BAM! there it was.

That's far too adult and sinister and evil for Final Fantasy.

Oh no... SE would never do anything like that.

Remind me to avoid living in your neighborhood. D'=

Now, if a a pudding happened wake up with glowing (or bloodshot..) eyes while ooozing some... pudding..?.. and some dark shadows under its eyes... that might fit your description for an intense mob as well as seem more like the current XIV bestiary.

Speaking of weird eyes, I wish I had a close-up shot of a burble. :x They're so CREEPY. Definitely the most "intense" mob in-game.

Iconic mobs from earlier versions of FF such as worms can easily be reincarnated as NMs and classified as voidkin.

Bloodshot oozing eyes reminds me of some kid with conjuctivitis... Which is just as terrifying as anything else in this world. (Point thy oozing gaze elsewhere, foul creature!) I think Dodore, with it's creepy cloak of fog and scary Mor Dhona theme fits as an intense mob.

Having the music change around the presence of certain mobs can add to the creepy feature. In FFVII one loud toll of a single bell told you everything you needed to know. Right now it may not be possible, but with the right presentation, even a rabid marmot can be intense.

Peisteskin Raptorskin styled undergarments and tops would be nice why not get some leathers involved for the upper teir'd undergarments.

would like to see primal armour to go with weapons.mabey trade weapons for gear sets?

im kinda dissapointed we dont have much in the upper tiers cloathing style wise.

would be nice to see to the lalafells pj's to be useable for the other races aswell.

wonder if we will be able to make swim gear at a later time?

Rabit marmot? Absolutely.
Dodore, on the other hand.. I've never fought it, but the pictures always remind me of the first time I saw Shadow Eye in Xarcabard and didn't notice it wasn't just a regular Evil Eye. It's not really that scary. The 15043096847098637598 minions are what's scary. :P

Changing the music around mobs is a great idea. :0 Especially if it overrides this crappy battle music. :/

Swim gear will probably be an event item like it was in XI, since we can't swim. If swimming were added to XIV, I'm sure they'd just make it just to throw "Swimming Speed +10%" on it.

In either case, I'll be waiting to wear my scanty booty shorts around on my character. Sadly, I will hopefully be a miqo'te, and no longer be able to scar people with my elvaan swim trunk.

I think there's a place in ffxiv for both. I wouldn't call the current content "childish" but there is an absence of content that is perhaps darker or more serious in tone. Just because something is cute doesn't make it instantly childish, I still love Pixar movies and I'm going to be 22 this year. But on the same note, I also love darker stories that have a sense of macabre about it.

This may be addressed in the future though. Currently we just have the basic areas that arrived with the game, alot of the more 'serious' or more 'dark' FFXI enemies came in the expansions (like prommies) but at the same time there were more less threatening-looking mobs too like lolbri (even if they do throw a mean peck). As long as there's a balance between the two I think that's fine and I recognise the lack of enemies that really invoke a horrified reaction in the player (that do exist in other FF games). With the map redesigns coming in 2.0 though I have a feeling they may be holding back on us since certain new mobs like the rock golem and ifrit have been a little more serious in tone.

P.S. I don't think you can really judge the moogle fight as childish, it was meant to be christmas related. =p

You don't actually give any suggestion in your post, only criticism.
Update your opening post with actual "adult" things you'd like to see, if you don't, don't be surprised the devs don't follow or don't bring you what you want.
