Please make the Seraphism model swap optional

[Rozeee]

The new seraphism model looks like cheap angel cosplays you buy on ebay. Doesn't fit the theme at all, stiff wings, color scheme doesn't even match. What were they thinking..

Reddit and Twitter, people are loving this.

Those people do not care about the lore, game roleplay or gameplay. They only care about the social roleplay, glamour and modding side of the game most of them are uber casual.
You only find people who care about the first 3 on the forums most of the time, this is extremely normal. Allow the erper miqote who spends half the time in limsa idling to love the stupid new transformation cus it looks like le hecking comfy cute fairy magical girl.

I see myself as fairly casual, into looking good and ideally, roleplay (but not the night club stuff). And there is enough magical girl stuff already, you don't need a transformation that removes everything that would define the 'erper miqote' look, versus an average 'erper midlander'. It feels as if someone in the Class design department has been heavily daydrinking on the job, and that goes back as far as ShB, when 'Seraph' got added.

Honestly I'm glad there's at least one place where I agree with people on this. Reddit and Twitter, people are loving this. Despite how it normally feels, the forums are giving me hope for a change lol. Or at least company for my misery

The main ffxiv subreddit is garbage for having a real discussion, it's pretty much just a gallery and toxic casualism... There's a reason ffxivdiscussion exists and is relatively popular.

SE is apparently wanting to drive people out of Scholar, into either WHM (class fantasy, due to the push into 'Whitemage Lite') or Sage, instead of giving Scholar an actual rework from grounds up that gets it in line with the class fantasy AND fixes the grievances with the kit.

Yes, yes, people are all apologetic and white knighting for the billion dollar company, 'It is absolutely overpowered, what are you on about?' - Yes, in a raid static that has their brains and heartbeats as good as synced up. The moment you enter an environment where you do not have people intentionally wipe when something is not going as it mathematically should, yeah, good luck.

'It is absolutely overpowered, what are you on about?'

This argument has always been either ignorant or in bad faith. Complaints about SCH's design have never been about how strong it is; it's always been incredible, and numbers are easy to tweak if needed anyway. The problem is no one on the design team seems to actually play the job, so every time they touch it they make it feel worse to play.

Or someone has been daydrinking on the job since the development for ShB started, that is where the Angelfication began.

Scholar had 4 DPS moves, going to get 1 more (hardgated behind 2 minutes cooldown), Sage has 6, one of them is hardgated with a 2 min cooldown - and they get an At-Will AoE with DT on top, for a whopping 7 dps skills.

What's the Irish themed fae? Titania's either heavily English/Shakespeare or Scottish depending on whether you go with midsummer night's dream or the accent, I don't think beq lugg is anything but a parallel to draw with matoya, dullahan is of irish folklore but we don't really know any. Gaelic is mostly used in the mhachi voidsent names and 4th make auricites, but I don't think they count as fae.
