Please make the Seraphism model swap optional

Front profile of the new Seraphism.

Whats the point of updating graphics if they're just going to cover our face with this awful tablecloth.

Remind me on Seraphimon and Ophanimon.
Maybe a little changes around the legs had been nice (dont like long robes, who limits leg movement).

In Overall is it a nice contrast to the enshroud Mode (and had maybe fit the whm more).

I think I am just going to link this here https://gamerescape.com/2024/06/06/f...0the%20game%3F

Naoki Yoshida: [...] looking at the jobs that are available throughout the final fantasy series, it would feel awkward say if a Black Mage jumped into an instanced dungeon with full plate armor. I think we want to maintain the image that we’ve depicted through these different jobs that are available in the series.

Amazing.

Amazing.

Me checking in with my healer speedo glam

It’s very thematic to the original intention of the final fantasy series

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Probably isn't the right thread but since it got mentioned... but if that's what Yoshi-P says, I'd really like to know what do he and his dev team thinks about Male Characters on Striking job getting Neo-Ishgardian tops that literally has a effin' revolver. Do MNKs thunderclap the bosses to bang them or what?

If that's not laziness plus PR bs, Idk what that is.

WHY

DOES MY TACTICAL MARINE-HEALER

HAVE A CROWN OF THORNS LIKE JESUS HIMSELF ON THE CROSS

Looks like Scholar was promoted to a Theologian at level 100 after spreading diseases with biological warfare tactics in earlier levels haha

[knaveofcups]

that somehow looks worse from the front than I imagined it could lol we really need cbu3 to sit down and develop a clear aesthetic and thematic direction for SCH. Idk what happened to “nerd and fae familiar research defensive battle strategies together”. “SCH gets a transformation that puts it in a white sheet with 2D silver embellishments” would not have been on my bingo card if it had infinite dimensions. i feel like this is a reference i’m not getting.

――学者がいきなり変身していて、びっくりしました。

吉田氏：　学者は「妖精食べた？！」など、色々な歴史があって、いよいよ自身がフェアリーに転身。でもデザインはバトル班とアート班が相当な回数のやり取りをして決まっていきました。ちょっと天使よりという意見もでるかもとは思っていますが、まずはじっくり触ってみていただけると嬉しいです。

――学者はいままで海兵魂！とか、結構武骨な印象だったので、落差がすごかったです。

吉田氏：　絵替わりは非常に大事なので、こういった大胆さはあって良いと思います！

――学者のセラフィム化やソルバハムートは、どちらも裏設定がありそうなアクションですが、今回それがわかるようなジョブクエストがあるんでしょうか？

吉田氏：　一連のジョブクエストは一回完結させているのと、ジョブクエストを作った場合、縛られてジョブ自体の改修に影響がでるため、本当はあった方が良いのかもしれませんが、今回用意していません。むしろ今後別の形でサイドクエストを作る時に、その中でロアが分かるようになるということはやると思います。

I was surprised to see the scholar suddenly transform.

Yoshida:
The scholar has a lot of history, including "Did he eat a fairy?!", and now he has transformed into a fairy. But the design was decided after a lot of back and forth between the battle team and the art team. I think some people might say it's a little more angelic, but I'd be happy if you could just take a look at it.

Scholars have always had a pretty rough impression, with people saying things like "Marine Spirit!", so the difference was huge.
(Alternative from DeepL)
The art team has been a bit more “Marine Soul” and “Soul of a Marine” until now! The difference between the two was quite striking.

Yoshida:
Changing the art is very important, so I think this kind of boldness is good!

(Alternative from DeepL)
Yoshida:
I think it's good to have such a bold change of picture!

The scholar's transformation into a seraphim and [Level 100 Summoner's] Solar Bahamut are both actions that seem to have backstories, but will there be a job quest this time that reveals that?

Yoshida:
The series of job quests are completed once, and if we created a job quest, it would be tied down and affect the revision of the job itself, so it might be better to have one, but we haven't prepared one this time. Rather, when we create side quests in a different form in the future, we think we'll do something that reveals the "Lore" in them.

A lot of back and forth eh? Sounds like dithering and second guessing again to me.
