Setup a collection for programmers to work on Viera Hair and Helmets

[Nikito]

Hello Square Enix,

Can you please setup a collection for donations so you can allocate a team to work on Viera Hair Modern Aesthetics and Helmet compatibility?

I'm sure the donations would reach $300,000 USD pretty easy and will probably go a lot higher from just the US a lone, That's not even counting the other countries.

I'm no longer a Project Manager but I would assume $300,000 - $500,000 would be more then enough to put a team together to do this in a reasonable time. Realistically globally you'll probably end up with $2 mil USD from donations.

this is laughable at best. They're not going to accept money like this.

I wonder if you could set up a go fund me for this.

It might embarrass them enough to actually do it.

Money isn't the issue, it's available time and manpower.

Money isn't the issue, it's available time and manpower.

Yes.

Notably, they can't just hire more people either, because more oversight = more time that comes out of the patch cycle overhead.

modders are doing this stuff in a day.

modders are doing this stuff in a day.

You mean the modders that say "some clipping may occur with specific gear and emotes"? These modders may create nice looking hairstyles, but you're overlooking whether or not they adhere to SE's standards.
Right now the FFXIV team's time is better spent working on content for the new expansion.

So you want to fund raise for them so they can outsource this?

[Naoki34]

Let them already catch up for the next extension and its pre-patch.

Giant rabbits can wait, quite frankly.

I mean, that's what indie developers do. /chuckle
