Mods and cheat engine

[KageTokage]

SE has banned people in the past for posting inappropriate modded images on social media before, but only if they could actually trace the image/poster to the account involved.

With how lax they are towards to the amount of blatant cheaters in-game that go unpunished, I kind of doubt they'd make a very big deal about emote mods other players can see.

The only "mod" They tolerate is gshade. Every other mod they hate with a passion and I've heard they will even bully people of their own culture if caught with mods of any sort. Including Bard macro players. It's kind of fascinating how entirely different their community views this topic compared to NA.

Blatant bullying is uncommon, but it absolutely isn't endorsed, neither it's looked at as a "you do you" type of a thing.
And I'm pretty sure that GShade is tolerated/popular only because DevTeam officially stated on Forum that it's not against ToS (though it's not officially supported), and maybe also because it doesn't mingle with in-game fails which is what Japanese players are mainly against for.

SE could sure learn a lot from some of these mods...
Some very talented people out there can really design boots and shoes.

I would give anything to have them in the game!

I do not use the mods, but I do think se needs to scan every mod out there and see what good gear can and SHOULD look like.
(sorry SE, its tough love)

ahve you seen the mod that shows viera and hrothgar heatgear it looks perfect. i dont know why SE cant do that like them.

I feel like you're unaware that it's basically "Don't ask, don't tell." when it comes to modding. They don't care as long as you're not a hugely popular person posting pron of your character online and getting them in hot water. They're also not going to put anything into our PCs to monitor it and they've said that multiple times. Same situation with BMP: "Don't get us sued for you playing music and we'll turn a blind eye."

Hate to be that person but if anyone wants to use mods so badly, save up for a PC over time. They won't be put on console.

@ OP

I agree, cheats and mods should not be allowed in this game, I know they can replace entire bodies with NSFW models, to say the least.

How does it affect me?. They can make my characters naked, and every other character at that; They can attach excessively large dongs to female characters and even though I wouldn't see it inside my game I know other players using such mods will be seeing what they shouldn't.

Besides that, allowing mods in this game might give the developers an excuse to "not upgrade the graphics", since others are doing half-as*ed jobs with their custom models.

Finally, on the business side, by allowing mods SE is letting players use paid optional items like Korean outfits without buying them, they just swap files and done.

I will welcome anything SE can do to avoid mods and cheating.

The vast majority of people that use mods in this game do so to make THEIR character(s) look good. Not because they want to ogle at someone else’s character… Don’t be so vain. I can guarantee that nearly every modder out that doesn’t give a crap about your character or what they look like. Only their own.

The horror. I hope you are still able to sleep at night.

Remish talks about Japanese playerbase, not about DevTeam.

It's a matter of resources. Many mods in different games add stuff that often has a higher quality than the base game.
But these modders are completely focusing on that particular modification and can invest as much time as they want.
Obviously the FF devs would be able to add headgear of the same quality. It's just not worth the time investment for them.

Yup, pretty much this.
I have friends who are very deep in modding, and as im told theres a tool that basically makes mods work only for your character, to maintain the uniqueness they creatted.
None of them cares about the random catgirl in a town xD

Honestly mods is a big advantage over console. Thats just how it is in every game thats moddable as its easier to mod on pc.

SE should take note of some of the mods. Particularly ones that

-stop pauldrons floating and being oversized
-adjust or remove capes, tassets and other things to avoid clipping with tails
-LONG hairstyles, not the endless short ones
-fix dyes on certain gear
-unlocking of genderlocked stances
