    Think they are pressed for resources on developing assets like glam items ever since they pushed Viera and Hrothgar. The fact the judge armor doesn't include a split cape for races with tails is a pretty obvious component of this, as they are relying on just getting a single model out and having it sort of mold to fit most of the races.

    Definitely pressed for resources. BLU only got a single carnival fight and no mount for the raid achievement, DNC/GNB got no Primal weapons in the last 4 sets and they're scrapping the Allied Beast Tribe questline for this expansion. This is after scrapping Hildebrand, a dungeon per patch, Deep dungeons, Ultimate, several seasonal events, condensing individual class quests and so on. Temporarily cutting some content to allocate resources to enjoyable priority content is understandable, but they've been trimming more and more and more lately...

    Actually not really. Gil is much harder to make in massive sums nowadays. Back in early Stormblood there were plenty of times you could sell basic white DoH/L lv70 gear at 1-300k and endgame gear over 1 million apiece. Some players amassed anything up to the multi-billion mark and even some casual players pulled together 100 million+. A lot of those players are still sitting on that old gil, but if they were to spend it all at once, would probably never see it again. I'm definitely in that boat myself.

    They've been ignoring tails since ARR, though. The Ironworks gear, most of the artifact sets, and all of the Crystal Tower gear sets, at the least, just let tails clip through and hope you don't pay too much attention to it. Not to mention the Evenstar set, which just looks.....really awkward and uncomfortable.

    I'd like to see them flip the switch and turn on FC private chamber functionality for personal estates and let owners buy as many additional rooms as they want, up to the current maximum of, what, 500 or so? You could turn your cottage into a 100 room mansion for enough gil. The price per room could even increase depending on how many you already own. MB taxes will pull out even more gil as people go to furnish those extra rooms.

    Oh snap that's a great idea.
    I love my room the way it is so I never wanna do more than tweak it, but if I could just get a whole new room and keep designing I'd be a very happy camper ♡♡
