It's a temporary transformation, and in FFXIV there are so many effects going off anyway it's a miracle sometimes to even be able to find my own toon - even when I disable everyone else's effects. But this one is at least semi-visible.

It's nice to have a tell though that other classes can... hopefully... spot better. So once I do perfect my timing on things, other people will know what phase of things I'm in for coordinating... because I sure can't spot theirs most of the time. Effects on or off...
It looks fine until I turn my camera, lmao. This stupid face in that super edgy coat just looks bizarre. Would prefer if it just gave you a shadowy face with glowing eyes like old FF Black Mages, the dwarves, those NPCs in the last area of MSQ, yknow.
