Clown outfit yet viera+hroth can't wear the NOSE? Are you serious right now?

[Kukajoo]

No clown nose but strangely enough they CAN wear the Reindeer antler headband with the rudolph nose

They need to redo the graphics engine, character creator, glamour system and address all character inconsistencies in one fell swoop. I hope they announce this soon.

They need to catch up to the modding scene first

There are already mods that fix/allow most hats to be worn by Vs and Hs .

(On Nexusmods : Hrothgar and Viera Hats)




There is already a great armour and weapon texture fix that gets rid of almost all ps3 level jaggies on armour decorations and improves specular detail .

(on nexusmods :Upscaled Armors Equipment BETA)





If the mod scene could get access to the world textures they would already fixed SEs sloppy texture work, to have a much better looking world , but they cant , only player/npc models and textures can be altered with the current tools.

No unfortunately acknowledging the modding scene in any way will only give them an excuse to stop themselves and a reason not to upgrade the graphics engine. While it’s neat people can do that independent modders should never become a reason they don’t officially upgrade models themselves.

In fact while sometimes it’s commendable that they provide alternatives to the community it also shields the company from backlash they should rightly take note of. The game is overdue for a engine overhaul and they’ve milked the current limited system too much.

Of course this would cause all mods that use the old engine to immediately stop working, and if they have supported the community in this regard and fear upsetting them, we just lost our only chance to make a good case for an engine upgrade.

I wouldn't care if the current mods stopped working ,and neither would SE Anyone including the genuine mod makers would welcome great engine updates even if it meant the end of texture/gear modding of FF14

The only ones that would be upset are the modders who sell their mods , and quite frankly who cares about them .

[SherlottaEryut]

The thing is, I wouldn't be as annoyed if SE publicly announced their plan for Viera/Hrothgar... But instead, they're leaving us in the dark and just excluding us from certain event rewards without an explanation.

What does great engine updates have to do with modders making clothes and hair for the game that Square would never make even if they had the ability? Also, side note, the only way modding is going to end is if they put a way to detect it onto our PCs....which they already said they will not do because it's illegal in several countries.

And frankly, a lot of people care about the modding community and those who provide them. If you have some personal issues with mods, sort that out with yourself. Lol.

[Jybril]

They've already got a mod for both Viera and Hrothgar to have the hat and nose combo working. I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to chalk this up to pure laziness. It's actually really sad they seem to care very little about these races after over 2 years.

[Lunalepsy]

Like, dude, this isn't even about viera or hrothgar limitations anymore. Hide the top hat part of the model if it's so hard to fit, whatever, but what is the point of giving a CLOWN OUTFIT reward and locking out two races from wearing the literal most identifying part of the costume?

Don't try to justify it with model limitations, the nose itself is a literal sphere that could have been fitted onto the limited races the same as literally any other. Feels bad, man.

Yeah, that seems... disappointing.

[NorthernLadMSP]

There's literally no excuse to let us wear the hat with the ears hidden. They did it with Miqote.

apart from mods not being able to function if the engine got updated so far that the tools to allow them to work stopped working , you know hence my response to the person i responded to about an engine over haul

I dont have any issue with mods

are you confusing me with someone else?
