Why is FFXIV Mobile getting better cosmetics than PC?

[Halivel]

There’s other problem to fix in XIV, and it starts with jobs

The two aren't mutually exclusive? Battle system design and cosmetic items are done by different people.

Doesn’t change the fact gameplay is way more important than those eternal complaints about cosmetics. Glam is one of the main reason why game is so stale. Brought lazy community just here to pose and always requesting to make the game easier since it exists.

And now we’re here. Take your relics served on a golden plate instead of actual proper grind and go gpose for eorzea collection.

do you earnestly believe that the same sector of the developers that works on battle content is also making me pretty hair.

edit: they also would not be divesting resources from battle content developers to cosmetic creators because it is two extremely different forms of creation.

I’m saying I’m being annoyed about those useless complaints, in a game where there’s already a tons of glam to create, while there’s more urgent things to fix.

okay well then to use your argument against you, your complaint is useless to me and theres 21 jobs in the game. they should make me more long pretty hair because im vapid and hate content.

A lot of restrictions and constraints that the main game has are imagined.

At this point if their system is so bad that it literally can't compete with a mobile game, they shouldn't have done the graphics update, and instead they should have just worked on rebuilding the system from the ground up. But now they put all that money and effort to put sprinkles on a turd back end system (IF it's really as bad as they say).

Oh don't worry, it gets better when you find out there are variants too

Also that lalafel is riding a new mount that's -dyeable-

I doubt it was the intention, but the mobile game really is just completely embarrassing SE and the main game over here. Don't forget they got garlean armors immediately, and we're 10 years deep with nary a word about it

Bro wtf the hairstyles are one thing, but DYEABLE mounts!? We're cooked.

Sir, you were given a proper argument and your reaction to it does not make any sense. The glam department will not fix your gameplay, no matter how important you consider it.

Coming into a game that has cosmetics as one of its selling point since very early days and saying that it's the reason why the game is stale is a wild take. Doubly so when creating those items has absolutely nothing to do with battle system in the first place. Those are different departments that do not intersect.

With all due respect, while complaints about jobs are relevant, you're in the wrong thread for that, and you also won't be gathering solidarity by attacking those who're interested in other parts of the game being also improved.

Raging over not even a 1 year old mobile game while you play a +10 years old of content and new features every patch holy crap you can’t be serious right now?

“I don’t have my new cute haircut bad game”

You are definitely too bored with your life.

Bro I can't tell if this is a troll or not. I'm not a "Glam is endgame" person but your use of "new feature" for every patch (which isn't true at all) is obscenely broad. The mobile game is ACTUALLY making new FEATURES. crafting and gathering on the moon is crafting and gathering on the moon. Doing fates in OC is doing fates in the open world, but worse because you have to bum rush them. We JUST got (unfinished) hats for races that have been out over six years. We JUST got a type of map for city aetherites back in EW (Even Yoshi P was embarrassed no one thought of that). There is still gear in the game from ARR that doesn't have a SINGLE dye channel, while the mobile game offers like 12. Even our paid cosmetics are sometimes rehashes of in game gear. And like just read reddit, the forms, FB Groups, watch videos, read articles, there are SO MANY other issues that it's hard to keep up with at this point, and not that you need to, but it's not hard to find if you were curious.

People aren't bored of life, they are pissed because they are bored of a service that they are wasting their life and money in. Like unless you were actually trolling I can't fathom how you have that opinion.

I just assume this is what late stage raiding brainrot must be like where someone looks at a post about hairstyles and goes "but what if there were a savage version of it?" and then they start to get indignant when people are like "sir, this is wendys"

I have played over 15 years and in that time hardly anything has changed in the hair and face department and I have never just played for the glams I have a huge history with the game and have accomplished many things from relics to raids to grinding the hardest things.

I have seen it all and I have seen the game evolve but I have also seen the feedback we gave in even in the closed alpha tests in 2010 players wanted more options to create their characters so this is something that players care about. If somebody wants to play dress up and are paying their sub then that is up to them and they are paying towards the game so no judgement from me everyone has their own play style.

The game as we know does need battle updates and things fixing but just because I want a new hairstyle does not mean I should go play barbie riding club (great little game from around the 90s I think you can wash your horse) my Daughter loved it! anyhow we need more faces more for body options and yes the dev's should look at the mobile game and realise they could do some good stuff if they listened.

The graphic update messed a lot of faces up including my Midlander so that was something that has not helped me at least.

i think it is best to ignore him as he has no interest in a proper conversation about what the thread is about and is therefore ruining it. not that i am against opposing opinions, but he doesn't have an opposing opinion it is just in a completely different ballpark. lol.
