We can't

[Darker_Midnight]

Ever considered that all the features being asked for would require an overhaul of the existing engine (or, God forbid, a new engine) to support these features? The number of bugs this could cause if not handled meticulously and carefully would far outweigh any benefits the minority population asking for these features at the moment give.

Nevermind the cost and manpower this would require when the budget sheet likely shows new content would - per man hour - likely be a better return on investment.

Either you're going to get these in a new FF MMO (FF18? :P), or have to find an MMO that supports these features.

Or you might get them in FFXIV, just... not on _your_ timetable.

Yea um, 2.0 is a whole new engine from 1.0 and was specifically designed because the 1.0 engine wasn't suited for an MMO, so why is the 2.0 still complete crap?????

Because most engines take 2-5 years to develop and the the game can take another 2-3 years. the entire development of 2.0 including engine took place in less than 2 years. Why do you think Bethesda still uses the same crap engine from 15 years ago? Its harder to make than new games.

Omg I totally forgot! Lets just excuse one crap engine for another crap engine! Silly me.

Man, you totally know what you are talking about, I'm so sorry for not understanding. Lets bring your perfect engine to the dev's so they can port XIV over right away!

Well. I guess if you can't deal with their business reasons you'd hate to hear the real reasons..

I'm sure it's a mixture of we can't because of the deadlines that are given to them. The ground level people work hard and they have very little time to do it sometimes. They also don't get their standard 8-5 job. So yes there's some guy who has 4 jobs on him and he's ready to tie a noose around his neck. As long as you're okay with that being the end result so you can color your gear 5 more times different ways and don't care about a life..more power to you. Someone posted, either here or reddit on how rough some of these people work, and the lack of credit they get is sad, Yoshi-P included who travels and works a tremendous amount.

Even our NA mods. We always complain but never thank them. Translators, the music..everything. It doesn't sound like it's much or related to your requests but a boost in morale, goes a very long way sometimes in production.

Others it's because it's not on their priority list. You may want 3 jobs, but the higher ups who pay for this to keep going do not see the benefit in some of our requests. You're paying them to make a world you enjoy playing in that also gives them money. You've never had a supervisor that had zero clue who to do the jobs they supervise? For the most part that's what it's like.

So you might have some guy in a suit and is presented with glamour solutions. They look at it and see no $$, instead lets work on new emotes and outfits to add the the mog station! Odins horse isn't selling..why? It can't fly! Lets work on that then people will buy..with their precious money. Dance puppets dance!!!

So yes, because you want it doesn't mean it's very useful. Now I know you'll pick the one example that counters that, there's exceptions to everything. Glamour logs might be one of them. At least to me, it's the one that's really important, doesn't mean it's useful to the higher ups. To them it may seem like.

I never finished Yo-kai watch, so I'm glad it's back. Just because you finished it like others doesn't mean it needs to go away. Like the lightning event, they gave it ample time for everyone to get. People got sick of it and now it's on the mog station. This will follow the same yellow brick road.

Or just accept the harsh truth like I have when I think of something for the game and get told no...and that's part of being an adult is accepting things you don't like, and running with it. You're not getting 3 jobs.

No go you lil scamp! Go save the world!

Yes, I'm pretty tired of it - especially in regards to character customisation. They have no issue adding new hairstyles with each new patch so I'm not sure why they can't add new make up options for women and facial hair options for men.

I'm also getting annoyed by the lack of unique, masculine glamour options for male characters both in-game and on the Mog Station.

This has pretty much been the default response for anything customization-related by the community.

It's pretty sad.
