Barefoot player characters

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

I'd be less irritated if we can at least dye the sandals we wear when we took off our footwear. But they don't... and they almost always conflict with every other pieces.. lol.

I hope some of you never visit a public beach or pool etc. ~ there are a lot of those scary weird things called bare feet D:

If we can around in all sorts of revealing bikinis and other outfits that show a lot of skin in certain areas of the body, we should be allowed to run around with bare feet... where is the problem with that ? v.v

There's no problem with that, the only problem would be figuring out how to shove bare feet into mog station without causing massive backlash from players.

I don't think any of us are weirded out by bare feet lol it seems we all agree it should be a thing considering all the actual questionable stuff in this game already

Yeah... i read a few comments the wrong way, i guess i should wake up completely before reading and answering on comments ~ @.@

Maybe they’re put off by the… dark side of such a thing as barefoot characters? Lol. Weird that they’re ok with ultra skimpy battle bikinis but not with barefeet, but that’s how it goes I guess lol

That might hold some water if they weren't completely fine with making other humanoid characters barefoot. Succubi don't wear sandals, Asura (most people probably forgot this boss existed) doesn't wear sandals, Shiva (Ryne edition, the questionable E8S 2nd phase one) doesn't wear sandals.

Honestly can’t say I was paying much attention to them so I didn’t even realise we had all these barefoot models already lol, but yeah it’s weird that they allowed these bosses (isn’t Shiva-Ryne in E8S literally wearing nothing but a dragon lol) but consider ‘barefoot players’ a no-go lol.

Also I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to hide behind something like ‘we don’t have the technology because the sandals are actually part of the model itself and we can’t code them off’ or something equally as silly lol.

I doubt it's any other problem than them still figuring out how to put it onto ffxiv store in a way to juice the most money out of players.

I had to look it up as well, only remembered Asura because they're basically in your face during the intro cutscene.

I mean, kind of. They aren't a single model but they can't just delete the sandals either, the shape of the feet would be a complete mess since they were made to fit those sandals and your character would be floating slightly.
They obviously would need to make a barefoot model, but the bigger issue would probably be the floating.

They seem to be unable to dynamically alter our height...or I guess you could call it our "root" point, where our character meets the ground.
It's why all the shoes with high heels just cut off part of our ankles.
So they would probably need to make the ankles longer so the bare feet would actually touch the ground, which in turn would look rather goofy.

They very well can. Any debuff/buff that alters character size does exactly that.

Not something I'm into it, but there's no reason other people can't have it.
