To Devs about Adventurer Plates

[Violet_Galaxy]

I'd like this to be an option as I barely comm anyone nowadays and think that it would be a neat feature! Creativity should also be comm worthy as well and would help players "come to life" so to speak rather than trying to remember a name!

best solution is to make adventurer plates optional. Dont want to see custom plates? Let it be an option.

I dont see why everybody's own moral code has to match yours, especially when all players are doing is using the game's own glamour/emotes. What you see on a Portrait is the same thing you could see in Limsa or Quicksand.

Even as far as the game's rating goes, this isn't even nudity. The Yshtola cutscenes had as much nudity than any Plate.

Well... if we go strictly by nudity, maybe, buuut positioning also plays a bit of a part in my opinion..

I can't speak for your server's Quicksand or Limsa, but I haven't seen that in mine so far. (But it's not like I am actively looking, to be fair.)

Yes, Integrate em into gameplay!

Honestly, they're basically my favourite part about EW

It's just cool to spam refresh my friends' plates to see when they change up stuff :3

Dont let it be a feature you never do anything more with, Yoshi and friends!

[SherlottaEryut]

then don't fill it. I don't

Yeah, I didn’t bother with that part of the adventure plate.. I think it’d be nicer if it were a ‘about me’ section

So for those who don't frequent reddit, a user from r/FFXIV posted a plate of a guy holding his sausage (using a fishing pole to simulate the effect) and it hit the front page of reddit. RIP to plates as we know it lol

I think they should stop wasting time and resources on this.

Yeah, we should just get rid of anything that allows us to express ourselves in a multiplayer game.

Greeeeat, something else for people to feign outrage over.

while idk if there'll be total outrage over "internet being internet", I'm personally waiting for the pcgamer article to come out about the lewd plates lol. Already seen the plates where the character is simulating giving a BJ in game myself...

I don't think you understand how damaging bad publicity can be for a game, especially when you think about Austrailia's PEGI system. It is entirely possible the game could get outright banned in certain countries over sexual depictions and cause huge losses in revenue. So while I don't think it necessarily needs people to get outraged, it is something that SE needs to handle with care.

There have been well established cases in history where a game got into trouble over things the players did (like GTA's Hot Coffee mod).

Even within FFXIV, Yoshida has explicity said "Do not do sexual screenshots".

While he is talking mods here, SE has cracked down on specific players for posting inappropriate screenshots (basically "Gravure" style pics).
