Pictomancer skills more neon like PLEASE

[Turtledeluxe]

Man the stigma of this game (community hates new/change) is perpetually exemplified by a vocal minority on the forum that knee jerk complains about just about anything that isn't like everything else in the game.

I am very sorry we don't have yet another class with giant neon circles, flashes, etc.

In the trailer we see pictomancer do skiils more neon like , in the job annoucement they are more matte , can we have they more like in the trailler, neon?

PLEASE???

That would be so cool if the relic weapons changed the paint of the brush, neon, pencil, pen highlighter and so on.

Actually, judging by reddit threads and discord conversations, the forums actually line up with the divisiveness that Pictomancer invokes. I'd argue that the forums are more civil even.

Hmmm. Well, I feel like the aesthetic is pretty good. I feel like they kinda did mix gouache, oil and aquarelle in a blender and it gives something that looks cool and refreshing. Compared to BLM or RDM, theres definitely a color clash! I guess that's what they were going for.

I do feel like the ice effect was really flat for some reason. The stone gaol was pretty good though!

I wish they had a little bit more oomph to them. Otherwise I'm satisfied. Hopefully they have dots hahah... #copium

Was just thinking, since I like to whine about roleplay anyways lol, what could be quite cool extra feature for Pictomancer is paints.

"WOW WHAT AN IDEA---" Hold on lol.

So like how Bard has different instruments, what if Pictomancer could have some customization in their artwork? You could unlock different colors ('paints'), potentially different artwork to appear over your head, etc. Personally I felt some gamification* should have happened for Bard, but on that aside I think that here too-- so like max ranking moogle tribe might get you some extra moogle art stylized skills (art/minions) and 'paints'. *(part of why I generally disparage the lack of 'roleplay' in this game, like for Bard you could have had concerts in taverns, quests, etc, you get a mini-game but also a progression mechanic to earn instruments- encourage Bards to go out and feel like.. "bards")

Heck, could have a painter's corner (real location with your easel, your own bob ross space) where you literally over time get to see it fill up with paints and art you've collected- and may even combine that with sightseeing a bit in some way (like you can paint scenes you've seen as a side content, mini-game, or whatever).

Taking it all back into OP, if you want cell shaded cutesy paint you can pick it, if you want more neon, then do that, if you wanted more Byakko, or heck Okami (classic 'art' style game), ink painting only, and so on, you could get those. A lot of it would be just recolors and different filters (how cell shaded, sparkly, bright etc), but it could still be neat.

I also did feel like the gameplay footage was a let down after the trailer version. It seemed so beautiful when Krile was running around.
Wait and see I guess...

I think the ability to use different art styles the same way summoners can summon different looking pets, might be the compromise that makes people happy.

Incidentally, I won't be surprised in the slightest if they use the job as an excuse to do a Foamstars crossover event.

I guess it's possible the brainstorming for the job was like "let's reuse assets from yet another new failed IP to reduce costs" too
