In forums like these people's signatures really stand out. Those girls could be american and that sig would still be inappropriate. It's invasively humongous and I honestly don't want to see it anymore.

Do what I do with pony sigs and use Ad block plus (if you use firefox) or some other adblocking extension for your browser. You can block individual images using it.

Personally PP's sig doesn't bother me. I've gotten used to over-sized sigs while being in this forum.

A picture of fully clothed women is inappropriate how? Because they're considered to be attractive?

It isn't invasively humongous. Silvertear's signature image is larger.

They were at a cafe for a Q&A and got some photos taken of themselves. how is that inappropriate?

ROFL, want a cookie and a teddy bear to cuddle with in the corner, I haven't seen a rage so angry over a graphic in awhile.

You want to hug Mr.Crycerotops? That's right, feed him your tears.

This is the part where this thread starts derailing.

Though I'm not a fan of all the weapons equally, overall I think they did a good job.

I've seen some players post comparisons to other weapons and gear in other MMOs and quite honestly they look more different than they do similar. The weapons and armor from the other MMOs glow dramatically like flashy lights in a nightclub; like they're trying to get a 5 y/o's attention - "oooh! flashy-glowy light!!!". The weapons in the video from this thread, however, have a glow effect that resembles hot embers in a fire - it's a pretty organic look to them, and considering what boss you're fighting it's rather appropriate for the context.

Sure, some of the styles of the weapons may be more attractive than others (or more unattractive), but to deduce that they're flat out "bad" simply because of the perceived similarity between older, more obnoxious MMOs, is pretty close-minded.

Good job on the new stuff so far SE; can't wait to see more.

It's not about the graphic. It's about a perceived change in the art direction of FFXIV. I am worried that this is the first step in the direction of WoW-absurd-style art direction.

I'm fine with the embers-style textures, although it could be dimmed a little bit more.

What I really take issue with is the OMGWTF huge size of the horns on the weapons that makes it seem out of place.

Those were $500 sunglasses, a**hole.

No.

If I see glowing armor, that's the last straw. EVERY single Ifrit-related weapon/armor asset is going to get DAT Swapped on my end, because I refuse to put up with that horribly over-designed ***.

Yes, I said it. Because for *** sake, Square SCREWED this up.

/quit game, delete from hard drive, go home and be a family man.
