Thoughts on the new street attire.

[Lustre]

They could implement a system where you trade a Yshtola NFT for an in-game Inflatable Among Us costume and people would still defend it. How anybody can defend outfits at this price is beyond me, and that's not to mention the fact it's completely out of place. Although I know asking for fantasy costumes in a fantasy game is probably asking for too much.

And yes, I was obviously exaggerating about the nft costume but buying into cash shop schemes like this only enables the company to try more anti consumer practices in the future. In a few years, theyll be selling glams you couldve gotten in game, but for like 2 or 3x the price. Mark my words. And the community will have nobody to blame but themselves for enabling it

And yet another cash grab for a game that I already bought and pay for monthly.
And that ridiculous pricing is only gonna go up from here.

Will wait for it to be wearable on all races. And then again on when its on sale.

The only part I was interested in was the Jacket, then I saw the image of the back and even that went away.

Wrote this last night had it copied (was at post limit). Might as well post the reply.

"Last chance" to add races as they add in Male Viera and Female Hrothgar (someday). The point I make with that is that SE says a lot of things and goes to show that they can do it if they allocate resources to it. I can understand SE not going back to every previous piece of headgear and making it work because of the time needed for that, but I don't understand why they never bothered making all the headgear from that point on work for Viera and Hrothgar. It is just so random which pieces they decide to make work for them and which don't. If you are going to bother making like the Reaper headgear work for Viera why not make the rest of them work as well?

As for punishing players, if you play a Viera or Hrothgar or want to play them, you are choosing an objectively worse race than any of the others. I don't understand why the ones in charge don't dedicate resources to fix the issues with the races, as you said hairstyles being one definitely (didn't they say Male Viera wouldn't have the same issues as Female?), but also why they don't make follow on headgear work on all races.

Yes, I think at the time of that statement, it may truly have been their last chance to do so. I have had the suspicion for quite a while that the outlook for FFXIV, prior to ShB, was bleak, rather they weren't totally sure of FFXIV's future at that point in time. As for male viera, I was against their inclusion at that time, supposedly they were made in some passionate devs' free time. Whether one is to believe that or not, having the addition of male viera no doubt has an affect on the resources they can, or are willing, to allocate to these races. Limited resources, should also be the reason they just largely stopped making unique pieces for races with unique ears, and tails in mind (ear holes, ear socks, bowtie by your tail, etc.).

I don't think it is that random actually. Like I was saying this morning in another thread, I think one of the major reasons why this hat specifically doesn't work is due to them not having hat hair. Typically, if they make any headgear such as this available for these races, it is a full faced helmet (and for hrothgar it smashes their face in, I've heard), or things that cover a good portion of their heads. This allows them to simply clip viera ears through the top of the headpiece, and not worry about having to show hat hair. Now, realistically, this is a solvable problem, really headgear in general is a solvable problem. If they spent some dev time, they could produce some hat hair, and theoretically manually fit these pieces to viera and hrothgar. Simply clipping viera ears right through the top. They already allow for some horrific clipping, particularly on au ra males.

If I was being asked personally, yes, I do think premium pieces, event items, and select iconic pieces, should have both viera and hrothgar in mind - at least overtime. I think miqo'te should also have their ears shown (Ear holes) on this piece, and every other premium piece, at the very least. Really, I think they should make ear holes for EVERY piece in the game for miqo'te, and races with tails should have variants made specifically for them, as tailed races make a large portion of their active playerbase. The majority actually, but I digress.

I personally think that they may think, if they make headgear largely available, it will become an expectation for them to make future headgear largely available. Increasing their workload each patch. When they already set the precedent that they would not get hats. If you were asking me, I think they should do it anyway for certain pieces. I do think SE OVERALL should devote more time and resources to the game. I refuse to believe it is impossible for them to make certain headgear or higher quality hairs available, in at least a semi-timely fashion. By "timely fashion" I mean not once or twice every three years. If they can't do something like that, then I think there must be something going very wrong over at SE.

Either way, the best a player can do is try to change their minds through feedback. I suggest across platforms, like on Twitter as well. As it stands, they don't seem to have any intention on changing that precedent they have set.

whatever helps you sleep at night.
lemmie know how well that y'shtola pillowcase handles in the wash.

All nice and cozy kupo <3 lol

Tbh, I would like it more if the male/female versions could be put on any sex. kupo <3 *shrug* some parts of one i love and some parts its like..ehh lol

[HeyMcFly]

I think it's very bland- but it's also not my taste & far from it
It's too modern & trashy.
It's also very expensive - I remember back on the mog station we could buy individual pieces but they changed it to get more money

It removes Miqo'te ears so I know hroth & viera sure as heck can't use it- but why would they, the ballcaps in ffxiv look gross but again, I detest all modern-like glams
