Nail Painting (Can I have it?)

[AmyNeudaiz]

You know, part of me thought this was about a "Nael" painting.



But this is... okay too, I guess? Though with how the game works, I'm willing to bet that any kind of nail polish would probably be a hand-slot equip, similar to the South Seas Talisman or Coeurl Talisman items, except probably more dye-friendly.

That got a good chuckle out of me. Good one lol.
Though that would be the less-preferred option, I would be okay with that. (even though I really want red nails on my High Allagan healer gloves >.<)

You don't, but I do.
There are plenty of hand slots that show my character's nails

Why are people so against this request damn this community is weird

Because every little things like this that barely affects anyone and anything takes developer time and in the end, it adds up. Time is money therefore their time is better spent on things that might get them more money. Things like this are relevant to an extremely little part of the player base and are barely noticeable unless you come to a complete stop to stare at your hands for a few seconds.

You know what enhances this game for myself and multiple people ? Actual content.

For about a week after the patch hits, then you'll get bored of it again. I doubt adding one or two dyeable glove items to the game will make any difference on how much content they'll manage to churn out, anyway.

And then a little other things her and another little things here. They're already running on a tight schedule. Vanity things like this can wait until the more important stuff is out.

What's "more important" to you may not be "more important" to others. Plenty of people haven't stepped into coil 2 yet for example, so they couldn't care less when coil 3 comes out. And all those "little things" are what keeps plenty of people actually caring about their characters and the game as a whole.

Yes, I am sure a majority of people are playing this game solely based on the Aesthetician.

Vanity always will take a second place in content design, as it should be.

This opens up a pretty bad attitude, though. The "my suggestion is better and more important than yours" sentiment. I don't think the TC feels like it's something every department in the development team needs to halt for and work on. People make suggestions and such to have the idea out there. Some things become more popular and maybe get acknowledged (or even if they do stay obscure), and others just fade away. Regardless, it's there.

For something like this, it's not one which would impede content on raids or other end game things. There are so many people working behind the scenes -- keep in mind that they have been working on all the content in past patches as well as the expansion; this includes glamours, hairstyles, dungeons, raids, quest lines, together in the same patches. A team which works on dungeon assets isn't going to be assigned nail graphics instead. I also think the development team is smart enough that this wouldn't be given huge resources. So when people make suggestions like these, it's silly to go at them with reasons like "it's not important." There are plenty of people working on a Square Enix game. We have seen in the past that we get all sorts of content. We have also known that they are working on much more than we see. Have a little faith in them despite some seemingly silly choices they make! That goes for most development teams in general.

As for the idea itself, I never really notice too much detail like that in particular! But if there's something there, it will show. Like when people use makeup. Could actually be pretty nice And the new Ixal gloves.. dem claws!

Wells said, Nepenthe. I've pointed that out before, but people always seem to think it's going to take away from raid content despite there being different teams who work on different things.
I'd also like to add that customization is actual content. The entire game doesn't revolve around end game raiding.

Honestly? I never plan on having a different nail color. But at the same time, I know that there are plenty of people out there who do want it. It wouldn't even really be that radical of a change and could easily be changed via Aesthetician. I only suggested the glamour hands idea because that's one of the ways I thought it would be implemented, and it would be the easiest way to implement so that players could change their nail color without having to go to the Aesthetician every time they change their outfit to a design that has their nails clash with their outfit.

Red nails go great with High Allagan stuff, from what I have seen. But do they go well with Scylla or Swan gear? Not so much. Orchid would be far more appropriate in that case which, again, causes a clash with the High Allagan gear.

As another possible option, turn the "Fake Nails" glamour into a dyable bracelet-slot item? I know that's not ideal either, but it seems to be the best way to implement it without impeding on all of the left-side pieces, especially when left-side pieces usually override right-side pieces all the time anyway.

Not until we get better beard and clothing options for males. We like to feel pretty (manly) as well.
