If players have to use to tool play the combat aspect of the game to give an edge or make it easier then there is an issue SE is failing to address and that's on them.

Using Mare to make an example because people want to go "owo daddy spank me im your puppy grr grr" then by all means have at it,not one advantage is given in game play. Just because its not your thing doesn't mean it not someone else. Some people use it for upscales of vanilla armors, others want more variety in colors and so on which I agree with the variety in colors bit because honestly, we should have more than 2 channels for colors on armor and even games that are less resource intensive has better customization options on a mobile device. People have been asking for the basic of things in this game for the past 10 years that should been here to begin with.

You all are more worried about what someone is seeing on their end of the screen in their room/house then people tyring to gain an advantage with tools...
I completely get your point, and I agree — SE should absolutely address cheating and advantage-granting tools. The main distinction is just that visual/aesthetic mods, even NSFW ones, don’t actually impact gameplay. The concern there is how it reflects on SE’s public image. Cheating in games happens — even on a large scale — and while it’s a problem that SE should address, it doesn’t really reflect on Square Enix itself. The issue lies with the individuals choosing to cheat. Visual mods, especially NSFW ones, are different because their visibility does affect SE’s public image, which is why the reaction is often stronger there.

I, for one, don’t care if someone wants tig bitties or whatever, but there’s still a certain level of personal responsibility when using these mods in public spaces or on platforms where others can see them.
