Discussing your 'unpopular' opinions

I think small house basements are too big. I would prefer an attic instead.

I don't like the way common looking things are rare and pricey. A simple skirt or a common stove for my house both cost more than a house. Flaming swords and rare furniture should cost alot of money, not a simple tatami mat.

I was very disappointed I will not be able to get the songbird emote this year. I know they have added these kinds of things to Mog station before but after seeing how much the maid outfits cost, I am terrified this emote is gonna cost more than my sub does!

I really want the glowstick emotes though.

Where does it say the emote won’t be available? Are you referring to it not being added to the cash shop or something else? I don’t see why they wouldn’t and it would be $2 just like previous event emotes.

It'll be available.

My unpopular opinions:
1. Most of the community is pve orientated, but I love pvp, and I wish there were more pvp options. (Although, every time we get a new map (once in a blue moon), PVErs always harp on about it being a waste of resources).

2. There should be more incentive for chocobo races. I have a max stat P9, 300 rating racing chocobo and nobody is here to race me! I literally spent over 1mil MGP on it!
They should probably dial back the delay it takes to switch lanes and jump, to make it more appealing for those who could never be bothered to learn how it works.

3. Bring out more commendation rewards. I am just stealing commendations that could go to other people's achievements at this stage.

We need just few more abilities to fill up 16 keys bar on pvp, that would awesome.

I wish to have dark arts on DRK and Carve and spit, carve could deal 2k potency with DA and slow down target.

I empathize. I see a lot of non-raiders call Ultimate, and some even going so far as savage, "a waste of resources." I've seen glam log called "waste of resources", countless qol additions are "wastes of resources". Especially when the people calling these things a waste of resources can only say they want the specific part of this themepark that caters to them to have more resources poured into it.

I find it really disappointing that despite their popularity, 9 out of 10 Au Ra girls use the same 5 or so peachy, caucasian looking skin tones when SE overloaded the race with a veritable rainbow of color options not available on any other race.

This is also an issue with Duskwights, Moonkeepers, and all Roes, but it's so much more pointed on Au Ra as they have so few human-like skin tones, but despite being scaled, horned, lizard-y monster girls, they need to being as human-like as possible.

/facepalm

Edit to add: This curiously is less common on MALE Au Ra, but not by much. I can't even count how many blue Xeala players I've met...

Have you made a fem ra with the skintone of any of the non-normal skintones? If not, why not?

Well, in fairness: It's very hard to work with the scales.

They aren't jet black, they are blue-ish, which means that blue-ish skin colors are the only ones that really go well with them. Everything else just looks weird in one way or the other. I personally settled on purple in order to get a bit of warmth into the color palette without sacrificng the scale compatibility but it was an ordeal to find a nice hue.

It's a bit better with Raen, they can use the warmer colors without looking entirely weird. My own Raen is pale like a ghost, but I quite like the contrast a tan can provide.

I don't know, I've seen a number of gorgeous Xaela girls who dipped into the "stranger" skin tones a la green or other such not-so-common shades. It is a bit meh that female Xaela scales have that weird bluish tone to them that the men don't possess, but it isn't so noticeable (especially when you aren't right up in their face) as to make any sort of non-pale or non-blue/purple tone look weird. You'd be very surprised how pretty someone can make a Xaela girl in the green spectrum.


Raen are similar in that regard, as I've seen a good number of not-pale Raen who made a skin tone work with the (admittedly sickly-ivory) color of their scales. It's really just about experimenting in the character creator and not being afraid to go out of the box a bit.
