Can you stop reusing models please?

[Hanayumi]

To be fair, its an FF game, monster models get reused all the time and more often with just a recolor. As for gear, personally could care less about basic crafted and dungeon gear being reused, as long as theres new tome, raid, and the occasional crafted glam set its all good... you cant possibly expect them to make new sets for every stupid piece of content?

My god. You are making more money than ever.

I am fairly sure this means nothing. More money doesn't equal more employees usually

Could’ve been better too, like role swapped pieces. They’ve done this a few times before like Eikon <—> Pixie Cloth (lv74 crafted) ; Farlander <—> Iridescent.

Meanwhile the crafted lv86 and Classical are both plain clone of PvP sets with different dye palette & no role swapped. (HW & StB Republican sets). Lv80, 82, & 88 crafted are also similar being a clone to the Alliance, Shire, & Neo-Ishgardian set respectively without role swaps, although I guess the two former no longer requires player to touch PvP should they want those glams so it’s a positive(?). Ktiseos felt like a slap though. No role swap & not dyeable. But I guess not being locked behind capstone dungeon RNG loot is a plus?

Imperial, Palaka, Moonward, Limbo/Asphodelos, Radiant, & Panthean are all welcome addition though.

They may technically not be able to role swap the Skalla/Snow Linen, Swallows Compass/Manusya, and Neo-Ishgardian/lvl 88 gear because those are all gear design contest winner gears. Since they are not the ones that developed original designs there may be a limit on what they can do to switch it up. Some of the others are definitely a little disappointing. The lvl 86 gear especially, then again I wasn't a fan of the original version of that stuff either so that might have something to do with it.

From what I've seen, making more money has been harmful to the product in a lot of ways, unfortunately.

Ktiseos and Manusya were to be expected. They fit the areas properly. Imperial and Palaka were very welcome additions. 5.0 provided quite a bit with all the artifact armor which was given a dye option. We then had moonward, limbo, radiant, classical, panthean.

Snow Linen and other sets were nice additions for an alternate take on coloring options.

I don’t think many are arguing against them being reused, so much as they’re reused AND STILL UNDYABLE. Like there is no excuse for this other than laziness. It’s like when they released shire gear for a 3rd time in Anamnesis and didn’t even bother to role swap it or anything.

There's nothing wrong with consistency in role gear. It sounds like they want to maintain some identity between them.

I see nothing wrong with anything related to Ascians being undyable. That's how they were presented. Not everything needs the option to be dyed especially if it's gonna be dyed in some heinous fashion

On the one hand, yes that's likely and I've had the same thought. They probably thought it was a nice idea to bring back all of the player-designed items for the finale, but didn't want to change the "specifically designed for X role" intent.

On the other... surely they could have swapped around the other dev-designed classes, even if they leave the one player-designed role untouched?

I'm also still sad about the lack of gear in the Aitiascope, even though we didn't functionally need it from there.

They just seem to have like a quite limited budget when it comes to gear. We can correlate since the limited races were added, and even before, a decline in quality.

Are you unironically saying less options is better and fine lol. Please tell me you aren’t.

Every time a new race / gender is added, that's a new model that needs to be fitted for all the gear. ALL OF IT.

People wanted genders removed from certain pieces. Guess what work had to be done.

Guess why it's going to be a while before lionesses come out.
