    If people don't want to play FF14 because they are too posh for the color choices in the game then they won't really enjoy the whole of it. I don't think I have ever seen a game with the option to change this other than BDO and we all know how bad that game ended up being. This game started development in like 2004, it's a very old game and even in 2.0 around 2013? Where the entirety of the game was completely redone from the ground-up, it still wasn't spectacular. In fact, 1.0 looked better which was one of its major flaws (too graphically intensive for its time / not optimized). But the game is very enjoyable and the last game I played before coming to FF14 was BDO so it was a huge graphical downgrade and all it took was maybe a week or two to really get used to it and I was hooked. But I knew that visuals wasn't everything and this is one of those games where gameplay is worth the visual sacrifice.

    That's a bit of a strawman argument. No one said that the game is not good or does not deserve playing - just that there can be easy ways to give players' choice to improve its looks.

    As a matter of fact, it's already in the game! It's called /gpose. Lots of filters there, and guess what - most people who use /gpose end up taking screenshots with filters on - because they make things look better overall.
