I want an option, please

[Wolwosh]

I wish I could turn off other ppl completely too, because I only care about my own experience and this is MY story. I want the option.

Ah the classic Auron quote

If that was the case, are you saying FF14 staff and crew cares more about money than player experience? That would seem very contrary to what they've stated as a company, especially Yoshi P's stance on character choice and experience.

That sounds very greedy.

It also seems flawed in reason since they advertise fine for themselves on their launcher and the website. Why do I need other player's glams to see that?
Why
Again, this affects no one but my own self and what I see. Why are so many people concerned with what I see? Honestly, it feels very creepy. I shouldnt have other's experience forced on me when I don't consent.

And I'm telling you now, I don't consent. So please stop trying to force yourself on me.

In this case yes, the devs care more about the free advertising than some people not liking the glams of others. Also: you act like this would be such an unusual thing for gamedevs in general? SE as a whole is one of the greediest game companies that exist. Easily on par with the worst of EA and activision-blizzard.

I think if they could do it, it'd be an all or nothing deal - not sure they'd be able to do it so your character has glams but everyone else doesn't as I assume a glam is a sort of "flag" in the game code "Show glamoured item: 1" or something like that (I could be wrong, I'm no game programmer, just going by past experience with other programming/configurations I've seen).

Also what is the main reason behind needing this? Is it people wearing costumes in group content? Is it the costumes people wear in the city areas? Is it someone harassing you in a subligar?

I'm not dissing the option or idea - just genuinely curious why you actually want it? Personally I love seeing other people's glams and have lost count the number of times I crack up running group content (Prae or Castrum) with a bunch of metallic animals. However, I appreciate some may hate this for immersion qualities and that's fine.

The option described would help with some of these (i.e. costumes in group content), but not fix them all. As an example - say you keep getting followed around by a roe in a bright green subligar any time you go to Limsa Lewd-minsa. You click the option to turn off the glamour . . but he stays the same. Why? Because he hasn't actually glamoured an item . . he's actually wearing it. In areas where there's no risk of getting agro from mobs, walking around in level 1 items has no draw-backs.

I'm not on the same level of enjoyment though. I enjoy my own glam, I just don't want to see anyone elses. Why must I be forced (because it IS being forced) to have someone else's experience thrust on me, even though I don't consent?

All I'm asking for is the simple option to turn glamours off for everyone but my own character. It doesn't affect anyone else, and honestly, it's no one else's business what I see on my own screen, especially since it doesn't affect anyone.

It's my gpu, it should honestly be my choice.

Perfect World had this feature to help with graphics processing in low end machines. I doubt SE will implement such feature just to attend a specific niche.

Personally i enjoy how much creative our community is with their glams and plates. It's one of many ways to connect people and give purpose to FFXIV as MMO. Plus: i always find some item that i would like to have and i immediately look for a way to get it.

Ah, the classic black pill that reminds you that you don't actually own anything. All those Gshade users are about to have a rude wake up call then. Any day now...

[Zebraoracle]

Please don't... Don't be clout chaser and post your modded character anywhere

Wasn't going to, it was a curiosity question.

[Wilford111]

Amazing how some people are so against having options.

[Renalt]

This, my friend, is a Japanese loincloth aka Fundoshi. You get this after completing latest Tataru's quest

Renalt has a new goal to get this outfit.

No body hair... hidden nipples...
Is there even a butt on the back, or did they cover that up with a black box held by a nutkin?

Actually the Nutkin censoring much like it did to Thancred would be a bonus to me. I would enjoy it.

Heyyyyy brooo I like your energy!

I'd be proud to call you a brother.
