Thancred's new face

Preliminary patch notes are out, and no mention of changes to NPC faces this time Looks like I will have to create that bug report after all...

One would hope that whatever changes they make to the character models will also benefit Thancred, because he’s essentially just a Hyur who could be cloned in character creator. Both of my alts were Hyur and they still look nothing like they used to. So fingers crossed!

Original Thancred could never be created in the character creator (he is a custom model with a lot of differences), so even if there are improvements to them, they unfortunately still won't look like him We'd need to see a specific message about NPCs for any hope for his original face to be returned.

I do hope that you will see improvements to your Hyur, though! Let's hope <3

I had been on a break from the game and was unable to post here for a while, but I’ve reactivated my subscription for a month, so I wanted to write again for the first time in a while.

Has anyone here played the Chinese mobile version of FFXIV?
It seems like it’s been getting attention on the English forums too, but from what I’ve heard, it faithfully recreates the graphics and character designs from Patch 6.58 and earlier.

Several of my friends have already started playing the mobile version, and they shared screenshots and videos of Thancred with me — and honestly, “the Thancred I’ve adventured with all these years” was there.I cried. Really.

It looks like only the early parts of the story, up to A Realm Reborn, are currently playable in the mobile version, and it doesn’t include Dawntrail yet. But as someone who plays FFXIV purely because of Thancred, I found myself thinking… if I can’t see that Thancred again in the main PC/PlayStation version, maybe I’d rather just continue in the mobile version alone.
I really hope they release the mobile version globally and eventually make the full story, including the latest content, available.

Of course, I haven’t given up hope that that Thancred might return to the main game someday…
But I honestly can’t understand why it’s possible to recreate his old design in the mobile version, and not in the PC/PlayStation version — especially since the mobile version is officially overseen by Square Enix.Why is this the case?

No changes to Thancred in 7.3, sadly. I will work on the bug report as I can't put it off any longer.

Bug report is up. I tried really hard on this; I don't know what else I can do, I just know I want to keep fighting for my favourite character.

Thank you for putting that together! Now everyone here go over and put a star on it! (Don’t know if that really helps but it couldn’t hurt!)

I really hope they take a good look and see just how different he is now. He’s one of the core characters of the game, he deserves to have his likeness preserved!

You are the true Warrior of Light, as someone who championed for new hairstyles (most of which we've gotten now) since ShB, stick to it. The bug report was the way to go

Of course! Thank you so much for your support, hopefully we can get a response!

Not going to lie, this actually made me a bit emotional!

I don't want to spill too much on here, but this whole thing has taken a lot out of me. I'm actually a very anxious person and I don't like sticking my neck out at all, but this means so much to me that I put my personal discomfort aside and fought for it anyway.

I don't feel like I can even look forward to my favourite character appearing in MSQ anymore, as it doesn't look like him, and it'll be more upsetting than anything. That's a really horrible feeling to have.

This should never have happened in the first place so it has been a very stressful experience overall and not something I ever wanted to have to do. Thank you so much for the kind words and support!
