To Devs about Adventurer Plates

[Caurcas]

Fair suck of the sav. We don't have PEGI (considering it's "Pan European Game Information")

Lewd/suggestive poses using in game tools only clearly is going to be M under Classifications. To hit MA15+ requires a implied sex scene/implied drug use.

No need to clutch your pearls so hard, really. It might be before your time, but our ABC were showing full frontal nudity in 1972.

However, AUS has also recently banned somethings that have overlap with what some players are doing in 14. Keep poking the bear though.

Don't see why not, especially if it's optional. I love the portraits and want to see them in everything.

Want to say what the title is so I can look at the reasons? Thanks

However, if you are talking about Rimworld getting RC way back in 2013 because they added drugs... that is being reviewed. Other than that I am not aware of any bans outside the usual "sexualises children" loli bans (those should always burn in a fire).

Well considering the fact I haven't gotten a conclusive reply I'm going to assume everyone here is talking about in-game nudity as real nudity would already be banned/not allowed.

Such being the case if you have a problem being exposed to bikini pixels and experience anxiety any time they show up on your screen I suggest you seek professional help rather than drag everyone else down around you.

That said there is most definitely a difference between the above and intentionally lewd imagery, though to be honest I would put it on the same level as intended violence. It's on the cusp, but you can still get away with it.

The post you linked is concerning edited screenshots.

Which, again, would not have been an issue if they were not of lewd/inappropriate nature. The entire point of that talk was that SE did not want to be held liable for players making inappropriate pictures and posting them as if they were some kind of official image. They don't care in the slightest when people make fashion pictures like the Eorzea Collection.

The dev position has been fairly consistent on these kinds of things across the board, so it shouldn’t be hard to extrapolate their position here. They have always been a “as long as it doesn’t get us in trouble or irritate others it should be fine”.

Their music system doesn’t allow for copyrighted music, but they don’t really care as there hasn’t been a problem. This has mostly been a non issue because most people consider songs as covers.

Lewd stuff however has been more strict, such as bans for brothel ads or the Twitter pic removal.

Seems obvious to me they are trying to keep the game clean looking and less likely to result in scrutiny by lawmakers etc which -again- is a potential loss of significant revenue.

Interesting idea.
But I don't think it's a good idea.
Like, why lock players behind a "would you like to donate a commendation" button before they can load into the overland and continue playing?
And not everyone is interested in the Adventure Playes at all, so don't force feed it to them if they don't want to.

Like most things in FFXIV it should be a choice for the players, not something that slaps them in the face every time they try doing something that required a party.

I'm in love with everything added and it's only in beta so I'm excited for what to come I'm just hoping for a few things

1. The option to toggle to show both our FC & GC along with the on/off times.
2. The option to edit the plate and move things around and scale them like accents and stuff
3. The ability to add stickers to our plates.
4. A better-mirrored option that works well with the backgrounds/mirrors them as well (looking at you class ones)
5. A bio section since the text just using our search info isn't enough of a text limit for those of us who wanna write more things
6. Lastly a second page to the plates that will show what all our classes levels are

that's pretty much what my dream for additions to the plate system would be

I find them okay - But I can go with the less horny stuff in the plates, either through a toggle to give them a default appearance or through more restrictions on them.

Using them on commendations? Yeah, would be cool - But make me able to commend them even after they left the instance while I am still in it.

Seeing peoples plates should very much be optional. Sometimes I just wanna exit the dungeon and be done, having plates showed in my face before im allowed to leave, especially if I have to give a commendation to one, would be incredibly annoying.

Anyways, we need to talk about the real things that lacks from plates, like no frame by frame slider for emotes, characters not turning their heads both ways in some emotes, flat out refusing to look at the camera in others, like lookout, and not having all our emotes available.
