Gaius Armour and the Mobile Version.

[JinxyLee]

People have begged for this armour for years only to get arbitrary responses to dismiss the very notion of adding it ("Oooh nooo, the Eorzeans would feel BAD seeing the warrior of light wearing this armour!") and now it's just being added to the mobile game?

I'm so done with this garbage.

Whenever people talk about the mobile version as more complete than the actual game on consoles and desktops the whole thing can be summed up simply: the mobile version is more current because it is not developed by Square Enix. If you want a complete game you hope FFXIV will change teams and companies. Until then don't worry it will probably come to the Mog Station in the next few weeks. The content is all there.

As always, low effort, tons of excuses so they don't actually work on the game.

Half of the QoL and stuff people are asking for are actually already available but against the ToS.
Most of the stuff they take years to add to the game are done in weeks by peoples.
Let's say for exemple, a better chat or chat bubbles...
I am not saying people should use third party tools at all, but they have some concerns.
But it show how poorly SQE actually cares about the game and it's playerbase.
When a few people can do for free in weeks stuff that takes the official devs years to make while being paid for it.

Be ready to see in a few years the mobile version of the game being better than the pc / console one and Y.P hiding behind the spaghetti code excuse as he always did, while other game studio are actually putting the work on improving even older games.

In the meanwhile, you are paying a subscription just to see the game director go focus on making another game slowling down the process of creating content for the game you are paying for, because it's not a priority, can wait anyway.

SE should just hire the devs of those QoL plugins and mod glams, even if it's temporary but much could be done that would vastly benefit console players if they were officially incorporated into the vanilla game. They also need to have a team work on a true graphics overhaul that would be 4K quality once PS4 support ends and make it optional for those that don't have the hardware for it.

To be fair Gaius's armor is kinda boring ugly, and if we ever did get it you know it'd be undyable, one piece and cost at least 18 bucks.

What you should be mad about is mobile getting 16 dye channels

Also already possible on PC, just SE refuse the players to be able to do it... For some reason.

The funny thing is, most armors already have 16 dye channels, but they are not enabled.

What I hope is, they will adopt this engine and port their assets over; they are already doing it anyway. Also, I saw some of the gameplay, and it looks like you have vastly more stuff to do and a lot more to interact with, which is something SE failed to address, as the starting zones feel very irrelevant and empty after you are done with MSQ.

Where is this "16 dye channel" information coming from?
Please provide relevant evidence before making claims. (I heard from some guy that heard from another guy is not evidence)

Its not 16 dye channels on vanilla gear, its 16 individual materials per piece of gear and each has the ability to be dye enabled.

Even then, the work to do so would not be as simple as SE simply adding dyability to those individual materials, unlike what people keep claiming. As they would need to adjust the UI for it, set the individual dye values per material, etc. and considering how lackluster they second dye slot has been handled so far... I don't think anyone would be happy with their choices in that regard. Furthermore, no one can show you proof of this. If you aren't willing to do research for yourself then you simply have to accept that this is a very old game and many players know the ins and outs of how it works, about as well as the dev team at times. It is genuinely a case of iykyk.

As for the mobile game, it was demonstrated on a Chinese stream a couple days ago. The mobile game has 16 dye channels, which is technically possible in the main game; with a whole heck of a lot of work, due to how we know materials work. Which even setting aside the obvious beating around the bush people are doing to avoid ToS topics, we were shown how materials work and how dye functions in the fanfest dev panels leading up to 7.0's release.

Its not a "he said she said" situation, its a case of you being dismissive. Which is by nature argumentative and combative. Regardless of your declared intent.

Either way, since you asked for proof, here is the screenshots for mobile demonstrating the 16 dye slots:

Thank you for providing the relevant references and helping clear things up.
It seems that people have confused the mobile game features with the normal game features and made some very wild claims.
