Re: FFXIV Starlight Celebration

Eww. They look ... shiny. And not the good kind of shiny. Like spandex. Not warm and cozy and wool-ish. The FFXI ones at least look like something wintery. These look like ... bad 70s Santa suits.

DO NOT WANT.

Re: FFXIV Starlight Celebration

Maybe due to the graphics update, that's what FFXI suits looked like all along. @_@

mew! if they looked wool-ish then people would complain the red color looks faded and dirty. These shiny outfits are different, but they still have a kawaii quality holiday flavor to them, mew! Ya they could have used better shiny texture but it's still a nice innocent update, mew.

Re: FFXIV Starlight Celebration

I just think a different shade of red would go a long way.

Silk is shiny. I don't recall that fabric being ... fabric. It's not the graphics. It's the type of frabric that is used for the craft. And silk is very expensive. Cotton and wool, on the other hand, are cheap as the hooker on the street corner.

Re: FFXIV Starlight Celebration

Millions will still have fun with the holiday update mew! It will be a good time to celebrate!
Lots of cupcakes and mews and nice warm bread! =^^= Times like these it's good to be positive and cheerful, you know, mew?

I don't know. It just looks cheap. And whoever said different shade of red, I totally agree. That's just too faded-looking.

And by "woolen" I kind of just thought somewhat like the XI ones. They're a bit more warm looking. Not necessarily wool. Maybe velvet or something. But they don't look cheap and 70s-ish.

Re: FFXIV Starlight Celebration

I agree with Aks. Shiny and slick....no thanks! Santa is warm and fuzzy!

Change Millions to hundreds.... (maybe) and you have a closer number, especially since I don't think the disco santa thing is what people had in mind..

Re: FFXIV Starlight Celebration

Maybe velvet or something

Velvet is shiny looking as well in the game. I need to dig up pictures of this pugilist in a full velveteen gear (looks bad ass in a way, like some Hollywood heroine assassin)

Also a comment on the shade of color? My own experience is that everything they had on lodestone is not the same shade as what I see in the game. The only explanation I can provide for this is that they have set their gamma settings out of whack and should tone it down a bit. Maybe they needed the high exposure settings because it looks better for their website (which is a muted tone in contrast)

Yeah I have to agree with that. The workboots are the most striking along with some of the other footgear. In fact, I would go a bit further and say that many of the textures and gear in this game are both a representation of cliched (but done very well) and unique and together they do give off an atmosphere of a modern FF game (post FFVI era) One just only has to look at Squall, Tifa and many of their characters to see this. Best shown in Kingdom Hearts when many of them make cameo appearances. Plus, it's still Rank 50 cap and several years ahead, so there'll be a vast opportunity to add additional new and creative ideas. The engine is there and arguably has done quite a beautiful job to date (anyone arguing against this point really should go and get a brand new graphics card)

Oh ... and mew. Just because.

Re: FFXIV Starlight Celebration

The art style for gear in FFXI and FFXIV are one of the main reasons I am a fan of these MMOs. Every other company seems to get something wrong, but then FF comes along and does that "cliche yet unique" thing you are talking about.. and I love it. I'm just hoping the new teams starts pumping out updates and content like a mad house!

go ffxiv! you can do it!
