    Like every time this kind of thread pops out:

    Kuja's Outfit, with feathered hairdo.
    Emperor Mateus' outfit, with horned hairdo.
    More of the Ivalician Job gear (which is also the perfect excuse to get hats with Viera ear-holes)...

    I used to, but everyone complained about the line breaks, along with always needed to preface everything with a condition. Instead I started limiting my line breaks, and putting side notes in grey, which can be ignored, unless you have an issue with the prior statement, to which i then put the "condition/context" so it either wont be misunderstood, or if they had an issue with the original statement, before moving on, I would defend it.

    If we were able to talk directly to eachother, I wouldnt need to put context behind a lot of what I write, but in order to save on time, speeding past questions/misunderstandings, I try to put in that extra bit.

    It doesn't make it fade out though. Especially the italics - those are for emphasis. It's like the visual equivalent of someone talking and then dropping into a weird half-whisper every few sentences.

    Don't limit your line breaks. Walls of text are the worst thing to read and a surefire way to make a lot of people just skip your whole post because it's too hard to process.

    This is getting really off topic lol.

    Thats how I imagined it would be >.>; or at least how I tried to make it come off as lol.

    as for the line breaks, i struggle with knowing where to put them. I feel like 99% of what I say is changing topic from one sentence to the next, but still leading to an overarching point by the end.
    So do I line break every sentence (with the exception of rarely having a second sentence in the same thought.) or do I wait till the "point" in which im building up to is finished? Which in posts, tends to be near the very end. (Sometimes I have a conclusion at the end, but not always)

    This post is not an example of my usual discussions, so it's easier for me to decide these things.

    If someone talking to you was switching into a strange voice half the time, would that sound like you didn't need to listen or would it be distracting? The words are still there. They form part of what you're trying to describe. If you think it's too long, think about what words you can cut out of the sentence and still get the information across.

    As for line breaks/paragraphs, start a new one every time you start talking about a new thing. Then instead of you trying to de-emphasise parts of your text with formatting, that happens naturally because the important part of each point is on a new line and can be read easily. Brackets also signal "you can skim over this" without needing additional formatting - the grey italics draw more attention to the text instead of less, stopping the brackets from doing their job.

    The DRK helms found in FF3/4 (the sprite, not the drawn art. You know, the bird beak, that hides the eyes, sort of helm. Pretty much DRG AF1 helm) I just dont feel very DRK like with the artwork masks, as I played those games looking at the battle sprites far more than the cecil artwork.

    A DRG AF helm that isnt over sized on female characters. They always look like bobble heads with DRG AF helms. (And a bit closer to FF4/5 designs. Each version seems to do something rather too different from the classic looks. 4 and 5 were nearly identical, and both were great.)

    a SMN AF body with a cape, like more of the classic sprite designs in the offline FFs.

    Same with DRG AF body. To me, BLU, RDM, DRG, and SMN all wear capes, and AFs w/o them feel weird. RDM and BLU have them, and DRG/SMN needs to use other non AF designed armors to get their capes.

    Reuse the lightning weapon for gunbreaker.

    Buster Sword skin.

    The outfit design of FF5s BLU is usually referred to as "the super hero" look, which the current AF "almost" references, but is more tuxedo mask looking, as if he's off to a ball. But I personally see classic BLU looking more like the typical Dragon Quest "hero" look, but with the mask. (Tunics, that are just a blue recolor of Link, with the pink capes, and shoulder pads.) I know they took on the mystic knight look, with their more Arabic look starting in FFTA and FFXI, but I still want to see a return of that, even if BLUs dont have a melee weapon to finalize the look. So id request the FF5 AF.

    Thats about all I can think off the top of my head atm.

    Your example is rather close to what I normally do, but people always complain about line breaks in a list lol. got fed up with it, and decided to do less, even if its a list. (As its almost always a list) but the only exception are my "side notes", which normally people use *, **, ***, etc. And I personally hate those, having to scroll down to the bottom, and back up to the top, find your place, etc.

    As for "Too long" and cutting out text, thats where I tend to disagree with most people. I know my text is "too long" for the average persons attention span, which would mean i should shorten it, but at the same time, its actually "too short" to properly articulate myself, as most people tend to assume I mean something slightly similar to a popular belief, that sounds similar to what I'm saying. Of course it's plenty possible for some of the things I say to be articulated in less words, but sometimes I dont know what that would be. So instead I tend to do a "Its like this thing, but remove this one feature." I cant say "It's like this one thing" w/o also mentioning the feature removed. In a normal back and forth conversation, I do simply and omit details, so as not to lose the person in the rhetoric i'm about to spout off about for five minutes. I let them stop me and ask questions etc. The only exception being sensitive subjects, where details being omitted can give off a wrong impression, and the person is slow to believe there was more to the details than what I started with.
    Of course if I'm aware of an identical train of thought/philosophy, thats a single word, than I dont need to say "Its like thing, but with feature removed."

    But yeah, in forums/posts, I try to get everything out in one go. It would be nice to add an *** where the person can highlight it/click it, IF they want to see more, or they can just continue on w/o reading the side note if they understand just fine.

    I know Celes and Terra from FFVI were covered but I didn't see a picture of Terra's outfit so for reference her Dissidia NT look:



    And for males, Locke's Dissidia outfit:

    I would second this along with Seifer's outfit. There are options that allow semi-similar look already, but having actually their outfits would be very neat. Seeing Rinoa's attire being implemented would cool too, though I don't play female characters and it would be most likely genderlocked... well, can just use it on retainer then.
