Thoughts on the new street attire.

[Gothicshark]

It's a bit disingenuous to compare games sold vs a game with a subscription. We could put current sales of a game vs how much XI has made but I doubt even re-releases of VII will compare to the lifetime sales and subscriptions of XI.

Not at all, I said 11 was one of the least played FF main sequence games, Someone said it was the second highest grossing, I gave the raw numbers, 2million units sold, 108k player subs. Yes it made money from the subs, as in 3rd highest gross profits under 14 and 10, but they made all that money from a hardcore 108k players who still play today. Meanwhile there are games with over 20 million units sold. in terms of main sequence games 2 million is near the bottom of the list, in the terms of all FF games it's basically in the middle of the pack. So no, not at all disingenuous. ESP when discussing things found in Final Fantasy Games.

It would sure be cool if the devs would stop screwing over hrothgar and viera out of gear!
If a hroth or viera wants this set they're paying extra for gear they cant use.
A little asterisk saying "we're too lazy to make paid content work for you" is really not cutting it when you don't offer players alternate options.
If they aren't going to make hats work then sell a separate set at reduced cost thats hat free.
For petes sake they aren't even making earholes for gods chosen race anymore theres 0 excuse to not make brand new stuff not work for hrothgar or viera.

To be fair, they'd just hide your ears like they did with miqo.

My thoughts on the attire is that people are going to pay a lot of money to look like everyone else. It's their money though so if they enjoy it then that's all that matters.

To be fair, people spend a lot of time for the Archfiend and Elemental armor so that they can look like everyone else too rofl.

Which is funny considering XIV seems to only get away with their Bamco tier cash shop by just keeping the game around. Personally, I wish they would treat XIV like XI. Although I doubt SE has the sense to do that. I'm expecting them to run XIV into the ground like SoE drove EQ2 into the ground, lol.

SoE didn't do anything, it was run into the ground by Daybreak, then Darkpaw.

I'd like developers to remember, that Miqo'te have ears.

Pretty sure the designers who cared about ears and tails left with 1.0. The vast majority of gear adapted for ears/tails is originated from 1.0~1.23 era source models...

How is this thread 15 pages long?

It seems like a lot of people go for specific sets. I can't remember the last time I saw the aiming or casting Elemental armors, but I see the fending set regularly. The maiming set slightly less often, but definitely more than casting/aiming.

Still baffled that Viera and Hrothgar have been out for more than 6 months and I'm pretty sure it didnt take them more than that to come out with this attire yet it still doesnt work on all races. That right there should tell you all you need to know about either they dont care or the problem to make them work is so severe that its 6+ months development time to fix.

I kinda just want more fantasy stuff.
It could still be casual glam but just more fantasy oriented.

TBH i'd love some casual fantasy outfits. Tired of the urban outfits everywhere. Kind of takes you out of it to be in a high fantasy settings and you see someone in a hoodie with jeans and converse shoes.

The only casual fantasy outfits i can think of right now are the oasis sets from golden saucer, and maybe that cloak of happiness thing.

not into that red detail they HAD to add.
