It's time (Option to Hide other players Glamour)

[Cithaerias_pyropina]

Please yes, those flat cheeks in bikini are disguting.
Body Shaming ? Please respect my eyes.

Then divert your eyes, you don't have to look at bikini clad players.

It irritates me like crazy when I go into a dungeon and someone is wearing a maid's outfit. Or is dressed like Aymeric. Or has a REALLY annoying name like Clouds Trife or something. HAVE YOU NO IMAGINATION???? I swear other people (by which I mean most randoms) are the most annoying aspect of this game these days. Yet another reason why I only do content with friends and/or Trusts lately. I think a button you could toggle on and off would be great.

However I also get the 'my self expression' argument. But if your self-expression consists of wearing a maid outfit or calling yourself Clouds Trife, I'm sorry, but you really need to go away and work on your creativity a bit. Yes, I'm being harsh, but I wasn't the one who brought self-expression into the argument. I only want to listen to you express yourself if you have something even vaguely interesting to say

This thread got to like 30 pages in a day. It's probably going to be here for a while.

Fair point!

It just a matter of time SE will be forced to introduce this kind of thing into the game as a part of "parental control".
If FFXIV wishes to keep their game current age restriction then they will have to implement it in the future, having a game available for 13+ is a huge deal in Japanese game industry, sooner or later with the game getting so big its going to be under fire of censors.

Nobody cares about someone feelings and freedom of "expression", kids go first as a priority and money that comes with it.

I've been out of this conversation for a while due to post limits and I come back to the same tired "arguments" from those opposed to this option.

1. This option would not restrict someone's "freedom of expression" in any way. You can still glamour all you want, just some people won't see it. This is like saying that, just because I don't watch someone on YouTube I'm trying to silence them. It's utterly ridiculous.

2. People are modding their client side display all the time to have gear look a specific way without your knowledge. This does not stop them from taking screenshots or streaming and yet no-one is rallying against that for some reason. At least if this was an official implementation then they could add the limitations of no screenshots or streaming if it's that much of a concern. Also, most, if not all, people who do mod their display do it for personal reasons. They're not looking to share their display around, in part because it's against the ToS and could get them banned as well, but the option is still there for them.

3. This game has 15+ million players worldwide, why do you care so much that a percentage of those players don't want to see your glamour? Are you that conceited?

Parental control of what exactly? There is nothing in the game what shouldn't be seen by teenagers. And everything what falls under the age restrictions is done by 3rd party tools in a certain community (which is a separate topic for a debate) and isn't allowed by ToS. Also, in some countries FF14 already is 18+ as it is (I live in one like this, for instance, because of allowed in the game same-sex marriages).

Not when the patch lands.

FFXIV is rated T for teen in the US and 16+ in other countries for things like "Suggestive Themes" (among other things).
It they were that concerned about "Parental Control" they would have to remove a lot more then just glamour to do it. >w>
Not to mention online games always say that "Online Interactions Not Rated by the [insert rating organization]". Wouldn't glamour fall under that, seeing as its a player controlled thing?
