Forced aesthetic changes should not exist

[Rekh]

Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, as the "feedback" board is mostly for apps and the website and not for game features. So I'm sorry if this would be better suited to another board.

That said;

Reaper's Enshroud, and Scholar's new ability, forcefully replace your character model with a generic one-size-fits-all model during the ability's buff duration, and this really should not be a feature. I'm worried that this is a testing phase to see how well the concept is received, and may see even more widespread use in the future.

After the amount of (deserved) backlash over what is relatively minor aesthetic differences in the benchmark character creator, I genuinely do not understand why it's acceptable for a job buff to completely overwrite your entire character's aesthetic, pigeonholing jobs into a singular look and style, and I really hope that we are given the option to disable this going forward, especially if it becomes a more standard feature of job buff phases.

Agree. It's the one thing I truly dislike about Reaper. Give us an option to choose an aura/glow instead.

I very strongly dislike this tendency too. To me the Phoenix mount and Zenos possessing the WoL also walk alongside this.

Yeah, this as well. It just feels like taking the easy way out. I would hate to see this become the norm where every other mount is something where you hide inside the mount.

Ironically, Dawntrail Colllector’s Edition Ark mount hides the character model again..
