GRAPHICS REQUEST Polygon C./Model for Hands and Feet

We are NOT allowed to use mods in this game.


Even if SE allowed them, moders do what they want and quality is not guaranteed.


I prefer using the game without any alterations, mods or anything that is not allowed by the ToS so the graphical update/upgrade will be most welcome and hopefully they will do an excellent job.

Your loss. And the quality ship has sailed long time ago with the FFXIV team

I feel like anyone could make better looking feet. They are literally trapezoids. Obviously SE can do better, it's just the game hasn't aged well. The beauty of modding is that you can pick which one you like best so quality is guaranteed unlike the trapezoid feet we have today. I don't modify the game graphically but if it's anything like Skyrim it's night/day. I can't play Skyrim vanilla it's an awful game without mods. Anyone defending vanilla skyrim as a 10/10 game is delusional. Modders saved that broken game lol And as far as ToS violation, maybe... But it's at the discretion of the GM. They can't prove that you modded your client and the only way they can give you a stern spanking is if you openly admit it in the forums or in-game. It's your game and it's your decision on whether or not you want to mod it. Yoshi P said that much but can't officially endorse the idea even though most other MMOs not only allow it but have tools to help. Mods pretty much saved ESO and while FF14 doesn't need mods to save it, it could enhance it but it's a policy that will never go away due (probably) to cross-play since the FF14 culture likes to complain a lot.

Eventually we will have "high polygon" feet, and maybe we will have better feet / body made by modders. It shouldn't be hard to import those models into blender, add more subdivisions and export it back into the game. Imagine rendering 300 characters at the same time with 400k polygons each... It's a great way to warm up your home during winter! Personally, I just want my models to look good enough, they don't have to be hyper-realistic. I'm just thankful that we don't have cube hands like in FF7.

While modding is a thing and it doesn't hurt anyone I play the game vanilla because it is a more cohesive experience, I just want a good stock experience and more importantly when I equip my character with glams I want other players in the game to see my character represented in the way I intended. (Modders not withstanding of course)

It's an MMO and supposed to be somewhat social at least a bit. Just like when I go out in the world and I dress up I expect people to see the style I wish to convey.
