Thoughts on the new street attire.

It's Final Fantasy. Pretty much anything goes. From VII, it became more than just the traditional fantasy adventure.

That sounds more like an excuse rather than adding something that looks organic in the game. Though, like Theodric said, that ship has sailed, lol.

not to mention the 2 unique expansion dungeon models, the brand new hairstyles, new pvp themed sets and trophy rewards, brand new crafted gearsets...

the amount of new unique stuff dropped considerably and I'm not sure how blinded one can be to ignore that fact. Heck the 89 dungeon cheaped out entirely and used the AF as rewards in it as well instead of an unique set as it usually is...

I had hoped to get at least 1 new hairstyle every expansion but alas, the only one was released for the item shop (and female only to boot)

well the person i replied to specifically said "cosmetics" which is why I mentioned the 4 already released cosmetic sets in game (and 1 upcoming) versus 2 released on mogstation in the same time frame

as far as recycling old models for dungeon drops goes that's really nothing new at this point
technically they've been recycling models since ARR

it's not as if we didn't get any unique sets in EW
83 dungeon, 85 dungeon, AF, moonward, limbo, 590/600 tome gear, aglaia, and alzaadaal's are all new sets

EDIT: and another plus for me so far with the unique sets from this expansion is that they are all immediately dyeable (or have a dyeable version already available)
not a dealbreaker for some but for me personally non-dyeable gear has almost no value for glamour (unless it happens to be the right color to fit with my pre-existing dyes)

It's not an excuse. It's a simple fact.

Another simple fact is that any and all of these styles are never obtained through the story. They're fun extras for fans who want something a little different. You have a plethora of options in-game that cost no money to obtain, yet here you are complaining about something that pops up once in a blue moon. What is your actual problem here? It's not the fact that this stuff doesn't fit in because it does.

There are looks in this game that I don't care for, but I'm not going to dump all over someone just because they enjoy looking different.

> This head gear will not be displayed when equipped by Hrothgar or Viera characters.

What's the point of charging people for something if all the items don't work properly for all races. Shouldn't the cost of designing it to work for all races off-set the initial cost of designing them? Man. Just. What the heck, Square. That's actually just... 22 bucks. 22 bloody flipping bucks and you couldn't even TRY.

[Avidria]

Overpriced and I can't wear the hat

[Gameovers]

Debating getting this for my balmung althonestly.... but she's viera. The jacket and shoes look good on her tho. T.T

[YukikoKurosawa]

The cringe moogle / chocobo image on the back ruins it. Give me a logo-free version please.

Street Attire should've been a spinoff quest where the retired WoL tries to be a regular guy who's not recognized constantly, so Tataru makes you an outfit based on what she thinks "normal people" wear. It could've had a funny little side story associated with it, a happy little memory. Instead, it's 22 dollars. The Mameshiba mount, which released alongside this outfit, could've been a quest chain where you find an abandoned doggo and help him out, and then at the end he just becomes your traveling companion. Could've had a nice narrative connection to it. Instead, it's 24 dollars.

I know the ship's sailed, but I'll keep saying it. The content's delivered at a dripfeed pace every 4 months; the game itself is buy to play and subscription based. Meanwhile, these items cost a third of what an expansion costs, and people are buying them like crazy, but where does the money even go. Hroth/Viera still have issues. Housing is still a wreck. The PVE section is on fire with people begging for their jobs to be made fun again. Zero communication, lengthy waits for changes, but we can always count on some expensive mogstation set that could've been gameplay instead. I just think it's gross on principle, reminds me of the f2p cashgrab games I left. Stylistically, the outfits remind me of that roadtrip final fantasy game, in the sense that they feel like they don't belong at all. I know we already have stupid stuff that feels like it doesn't belong, but that's why this sort of thing is so bad imo. It just opens the door for more crap like this to appear in the future, and if you have an issue with it, well, "it's okay because that ship has sailed anyway." So imo on every level it's just bad and I wish it didn't exist.

Was going to buy it until I saw the moggle/chocobo art on the back of the jacket. Ruins the entire outfit.

[BaconBits]

Lol.

Lmao even.

FFXIV is going to be Square Enix's little piggy bank until the day it dies.
