the sad stat of new glams in 6.0

I am a bit confused, what Tataru outfit lol?

Most likely the coat that is given to "dress warm"

Part of me is hopeful that this is a sacrifice for mHrothgar and Viera features (or more hopefully fHrothgar development).

I still don't see why they didn't just roleswap these reskins.

Tbh though, with how much the game has made as of late, i don’t see why we need to continue sacrificing one thing for another.Especially when they have different teams to work on different things.I’ve been seeing people saying x got less attention for the new races or whatever but…why? Where’s our money going if we have to keep sacrificing content for other forms of it.

The real answer is that anything made above 14s set budget is collected by SE and used for other projects. If FFXIV makes record profits, that does no mean FFXIV gets to reap any of the financial success because of it. Mogstation sales also follow this, and unlike popular belief, isn't put right back into FFXIV. So, yeah. Unfortunately the devs do need to shuffle things around because they aren't a company in control of their own finances. They have to answer to SE, and SE will see fit to grant them a bigger budget only when pressed.

Our money is likely going to FF16.

I don't keep track of what is a recolor because I don't care about glamour, but I doubt it's intentional. There is a team who design the glamour right down to the little patterns and they are always full of requests. It's their job to be creative and come up with or expand on new ideas and they do. They have to know how important that part of the game is.

Considering we were specifically told mogstation benefited FFXIV directly and exclusively.. this is some pretty big news in an offhanded comment. Where did you get this information?

Funny you should say that because in all my years I have only ever seen this stated in offhanded remarks. I conclude it doesn't go into the game because I have never been able to verify it.

edit: If I am wrong and it is just that all my search engines are flooded by 14 pages of fan discussion stating such, then I will be pleased.

If you want another set of "heels" the Omega F suit is available on the Mog Station. The feet are...somewhat distorted though.

This is quite the case. When I logged in on expansion launch, the first thing I did was check the broker for what the new "white" set skins were... oops all reskins.

Then through the dungeons we got 2 new sets, the rest? reskins. New crafted gear at beginning of raid tier? reskins

With EW for a DoW/DoM the only new skins have been:
Relic
Thavnairian Dungeon
Garlemald Dungeon
Tome Gear 1
Tome Gear 2
Raid Gear

Every other set added this expansion has been reskins.

Small indie company can't be bothered to make new assets I guess.

Overall we lost new glam gear option compared to ShB

ShB Combat job glams:
1 White Set (The dwarven stuff)
Ravel Gear
Voebrite Gear
Tome Gear 1
Tome Gear 2
Raid Gear
AF Gear

Which all that we last going from ShB to EW was the one white set, which is down one from what we got in StB. So there has been a steady decrease overtime, probably due to the constantly increasing number of AF gear sets they have to do.

Point in your favor: They have apparently NEVER stated it was exclusive, just that they WANT to use the money to improve the game. However I will say they also have specifically stated that the data center move for NA and the expansion of that data center were done with cash shop money. So you're right in that there is no ironclad statement to nail them down for it and it's possible SE is just pocketing all the money and frittering it away on other projects, it's not like we've never seen benefits from it.. at least we've been told the game benefits from it. We also have a statement from Yoshi (as idealistic as he really is, I get it) stating intent to use the profit for the benefit of FFXIV.
