A few concerns about Pictomancer

[Rikizza]

Why do you think this? It's a brand new asset, and so far all the new assets made for the expansion have been made with the new tools and techniques. They're only "adding" them to the old content, everything they are making now is already up to the new standard from the start. It would make no sense at all to make brand new low quality assets that you just have to go back and fix later.

… like with the new shading. It will probably look better. I didnt mean that they would make bad quality stuff and go back and make it better for the release lol. But shaders make a huge difference. If you look at reshader mods for the game, everything looks much more HD and better quality and, in my original post i ment that when the new shaders apply on top of the picto paint it will probably look much better and much more aestethic. Atleast i hope so.
I thought that was clear lol. Who would think what you assumed i ment.

We all know that caster gear is going to continue to be various voluminous robes with the tradition A silhouette. Doesn't matter that we have now been to a completely different shard and even to the end of the universe, it's always big robes.

Funny how no one is actually discussing how the job might play in favor of kneejerk takes on the VFX based off a short clip

Maybe it has something to do with the VFX turning people off a job they'd otherwise be interested in playing.

1) The neon is overkill

Yes. The effects in general are off-putting and I think many have voiced their opinions on that. If anything, that is the most consistent feedback I've seen since the reveal. You can have paint splotches in a way that's not obnoxious (Bravely Default II manages to, and that game's style is even cartoonier than XIV).

It's going to affect caster gear in a negative way

lolno. Have you met my friend, Red mage? The caster gear has always been biased towards BLM's aesthetics since forever and I don't see that changing. BLM will always be Yoshi's baby so no surprise that the gear is more often than not tailored to their style. Would love to see more tunics and shortrobes though if Pictomancer gives them the push to cut back on robes.

You already do really cool brush effects

Would be nice if there were different brush effects. So that their entire skillset isn't just sloppy splatters.

Somebody mentioned it all looking like something out of Splatoon. You know what? We should call it Splatoon mage. Let's make it a thing, because that's what it is right now.

Splatoon mage.
