Please make the Seraphism model swap optional

[LimEsw]

Just want to chime in and voice my opinion that I would also like the ability to opt out of the outfit change.

Same, keep your ugly generic angel outfit for somebody else plz thx! Yoshi "This is not a bold and exciting direction"

I hate how it gets rid of my ears and tail. Same with other racial characteristics. I can still see my face poking out from underneath the veil, so why are my ears and tail missing?

If we are the fairy healer, why do we transform into an angel? Can't we at least transform into Titania?

Bumping in hopes that the developers are now more receptive to adding this option for both SCH and RPR.

I've been whining about this ability since the expansion came out. Who the fudge at square thinks scholar was an angel healer waifu class and not a debuffing shielding healer is so out of touch with what a lot of players liked about the job. I should have know when scholar got its dots gutted in shadowbringers in exchange for seraph that it was all down hill from there. They think all healer players are uwu cuties who play in pink bunny slippers all day and only want new healing sparkles instead of content that requires us to use heals or cool dps combos. I get so mad every time I think of my history with the job post shadowbringers. This is the most ruined job in the entire game for me. At least Seraphism felt good mechanically but the visuals are disgusting like solar bahamuts ugly chandelier looking ahh.

FFXIV devs: ‘let’s make character customisation and aesthetics/cosmetics one of the central focus points of the game to the point we’ll charge real money for outfits’
Also FFXIV devs: ‘let’s make an ability that completely overwrites the users entire visual / aesthetic identity and replace it with generic slop’

FFXIV: the only MMO you can spend real money on a modern day virtual outfit…that is instantly deleted against your will if you make the grave mistake of *checks notes* playing Scholar. Probably

Like, someone make it make sense. Why have we had to put up with this for so long? They genuinely want to tell scholars ‘we hate you’ with their chests at this point

Scholar has so many themes. It has butterflies, fairies, carbuncle, angels, poison, technology flavored animations for Chain Strat and Art of War, fire themes for Broil, literary notes like tearing pages out of your book for Recitation, and powerful speech names on most of the abilities. It's an Orator, Green Mage, Summoner, Holy Priest, Battle Tactician, Tech Enthusiast... Like I really just want them to pick a lane and flesh it out. I want the fairy to stay a fairy and use butterfly themed magic while I stay a battle tactician that used poison and techno barriers and magic. I would love to get the angels out the class all together and use spells that make more sense for a more concentrated theme. Why are butterflies coming out of Expedient? Why does our Limit Break 3 show Seraph raising the party but when we do a single target revive the fairy doesn't care. The theming is so chaotic and weird and the spell animations make zero sense. Why does Chain Strat pull out digital screens? I have been a Scholar main since ARR but I really wish that Identity was more concrete and less haphazard with every new skill they add. Seraphism is just the latest wtf moment.

Scholar was shot and gutted in 5.0 and left on the side of the train tracks to die in the rain while square enix sold its personal valuables to buy angel waifu body pillows. when players complained they made one of our capstone skills an aoe sprint DDDDD

Seraphism is mechanically so good but the aesthetic is awful
