FFXIV FanFest Q&A - Character Models

[Nonuel]

I'm really sorry i broke the link to my screenshot. I have decided to change screenshot host >.>

I've fixed it now

Nice Rokurokubi Cosplay

But fr, I can't help but feel somewhat cast aside when they add new species...

And we get no fix-ups to the ones we have.

There was a report I came across showing how the Elezen female's thigh collapses in certain sit poses.

Just wish they'd clean up some of these things, and I dream of alternate models for all the species, but... sigh.

the hair clippings do not bother me, if only one thing from 1.0 comes back, its the HD models for our characters. They felt more solid

Questions about improved models for all in-game characters should be asked persistently at all opportunities so that SE can feel the pressure from the players base (their clients) and confirm if still in doubt that it is something we really want!...


Current models are really bad, blocky looking, just the face looks pretty but everything else is almost from the PS2 era, I'd wish for SE to bring back the models from 1.0 including all the weighted movements and physics!...

Just quietly bumping this up again

[LillithCale]

just another small bump

Well, Yoshi probably thinks the playerbase is attached to these little "quirks" on the characters models and would be upset if they suddenly changed them. :v Same reason we won't ever get updated faces since people are so attached to the old ones.

Why not give an alternate model option? Don't take away the old one, just offer another customization "body model" option. They don't have to add new races every time they want to make a better-looking model.

Simple: they would have to fit armor to the old and new models, basically doubling the workload. Blizzard kept the old models around for a period after the revamp but eventually they ditched them completely, probably for that exact reason.

I don't think we need completely new models or faces. They are cute as is. More face options would be nice and they could smooth out some of the rough edges a bit but in general the char models still look and feel great.

[LillithCale]

Still keeping this alive

i wish we had more diversity in faces. for most of the male races your choice of face is on one end of a spectrum.
