I was never a big fan of my Hyur Highlander lady, her expression and looked seemed... stiff. Xaela lady was an upgrade in every respect, and let me get creative with things like blue freckles.

Well you can do that now with plates. The issue is who's gonna bother getting all the AFs when they have the Omni gear.
Wait, you can? I thought even in the plate system, the same restrictions apply. The job has to be able to wear the amor.
I wonder if that Charged Action System means I can stack thundercloud and firestarter procs for blm
Real talk tho the blm SB storyline was more a danger than the the main story.
Pretty sure they mean you can just glamour plate for each crafting job. Obviously, that eats a lot of plates(11 if you want every single one, which is more than what we can even use atm), but if you really like a specific one you could. Other jobs can either use a generic glamour plate, or just the default appearance of your crafting gear.
My bad, thought you meant glamming up the each job specific gear to the omni gear so you could have the omni gear switch look when switching jobs.
Fran is a part of the 24-man Ivalice raid quest-line so she wont be going away.
Not really, high end PCs are wasted on this(I average 73 FPS on desktop high on my laptop with a 1050 ti). Also got over 10k on bench
Ah, nice. Time to resub then. I need to get ready for Shadowbringers. Finishing up the main story and the new raid and the Hildibrand quest line.
What's making you say this? Game Already looks like this on PC.
With reshade and texture mods

A friend of mine made the transition from playing FFXIV on PS4 to playing it on PC and he couldn't get back, mainly because of the better graphics.
Looks like all the old tanks are getting updates to their AOE.
Paladin = Total Eclipse > Jump Slashy Slash
Warrior = Overpower > Spinny Axe
Dark Knight = Unleash > Spherical Globe

Warrior = Overpower > Spinny Axe
Dark Knight = Unleash > Spherical Globe
Every melee is basically, if they didn't before. Monk is getting a proper aoe rotation(Arm of the Destroyer > New breakdance kick > Rockbreaker) as well as possibly a chakra spender that's aoe, Ninja getting a follow up to Blossom with a big ground ninjutsu square thing, Dragoon getting a 3rd move with a bunch of blue dragon crescents, SAM doesn't seem to be getting anything probably cause they already had 2 aoe combos.
All these new skills that so many people still won't bother using in dungeons.
Basically, I want what they did in FFXI. In FFXI you could glamour anything over anything, so long as you had a job leveled that could equip it.
Example. Say you have Summoner max leveled, and you have say Samurai leveled to 50. You can glam any 1-50 Samurai gear on your summoner.
PLD getting an actual AoE combo is good news. Spin2Win is supremely boring.
And there's never a Goad to be seen.
Viera shouldn't be allowed to be anything but shades of brown.
Darknight looking better and better. And you can summon Fray to join the fray.

Has anyone noticed that the Viera face also changes it's features? Like the first face has one eyeliner and the eyelash size as features and the 4th face has two different eyeliners but no additional eyelash size?
Same with tattoos, different face, different tattoos.
(I am spending way too much in the character creator)

Different "shard" AKA another dimension/universe. So the same planet, in another plane of existence.
Me after seeing the job actions trailer
Every time I think I'm out etc etc
Now the real question is to stay on Roe or switch to Hrothgar...
Also, do we have any footage of Dancer on a male character? Is it all the same animations?
Same animations.
New Roegadyn player here and Roegadyn are not very popular huh? I barely see any around the cities or zones.
There is not a way to advance the main story without doing dungeons is there?

Not without buying the Main Story potion.
The dungeons are pretty easy though, for the most part.
There are some optional side quest dungeons, but most are tied to the main story quest. Best thing to do is queue up for one, and then do fates, and side quests until you go in.
Yeah least popular race by far.
You need to run some of them to progress the main story, a good chunk of them are optional though. If you don't care for them and have someone to play with or have an fc willing to help, you can run them unsynced to blitz through them. Basically it removes the lv cap per dungeon letting a higher lv player kill everything for you in a fraction of the time it would take playing it normally. No xp playing it this way but you'll be able to move on the next story quest.
Mainly the new job trailer. All the effects and the lighting quality looks much better than what you get when you play on PS4.
PC does have more graphical options. I haven't checked the PS4 version in forever but it wouldn't be shocking of PC version w/o mods still looks better.
I'm a unique case so I can't speak for anyone else.
As a black man I can't really go into most any eastern mmo and make someone that looks and sounds like ME. If I can't make a decent me then I just play as female.
I picked Femroe because they're tall and I think they're pretty. But I'm not at all happy with them. The animators didnt give them a clearly defined persona and much of what they do doesn't match how they look.
In fact being on this rp server makes me want to change race because of the certain way most all Femroes are played here (as a "certain kind" of erp alt. I don't care about people erping with their race but when every one of the few who looks like me just seems like a zombie made not to be played but for erp it gets mighty lonely. These Femroe here don't care about or Like the race, not like the ones for my old server or the onea I meet in eureka or in dng runs).
Now enter Viera. I have a long history with rabbits and they were designed to be colored black/ brown so I'm all over that. And HROTHGAR ... They are the only males in this game that make me want to play as a dude.
So yeah, I love my Femroe but its over.

Don't worry, SCH mains will cry and it will be busted again. I feel bad playing any other healer when I can just SCH and have an answer to everything.
These days, I play almost exclusively on the PS4. I really enjoy the ease of using the controller and overall convenience.
But something I've been wanting to do was fine ways to free up the "clutter" that happens during party battles, where the screen is filled with all sorts of madness like damage numbers, spell effects and so on.
One of the things that used to bug me a lot was having a spell/skill casting bar right in the middle and obscuring my character:
The other day I finally found out that this was the "progress bar", and was able to resize it so that it's less in the way. I've done this with similar UI elements, but there are still a few bit of fly-by text, numbers and other elements that I haven't figured out how to adjust them, if possible.
I took the liberty of highlighting all the elements I'd like to have shrunken a bit to help keep better track of my character during all the chaos. Spoilered for size:
I realize there's an option to turn off or minimize special effects from other characters, but I'm a sucker for cinematic flair and doing this makes battles look lamer. I may also display my character name again to help keep track of my position. If there are other ways to help visually identify where I am during the craziness, I'd like to know about them, but in the meantime let me know if any of the highlighted text can be adjusted too.

Has anyone used or bought a story skip potion for anyone? I'm thinking of getting one for my brother who's interested in HW and on but is dying on the altar of ARR's shitty production value. Has anyone felt like they're missing anything by skipping ARR?
I think I could maybe give him a quick summary of what he missed and maybe direct him to a couple of cutscenes -
2.0-2.3: Beast Tribe fuckery, some rando scion who dies immediately, we learn about how to kill Ascians by trapping them in a Crystal first
2.4: Lady Iceheart
2.5: Crystal Braves and the first "set time aside" cutscene
I really believe that with the NG+ system implemented and those questlines propery encapsulated, the next step will be allowing players to skip ARR.

tattoos and face features are tied to face type for everyone. can be annoying if you prefer the feature options of one face but the structure of another.
I've been on the fence about jumping into this game with the Heavensward promotion running right now. My main interest is to Platinum the game on PS4, mostly playing solo at my own leisure. My question is... do I need Bloodstorm? Or is there enough content to keep my playing until I get to my goal with only the base game and the first expansion?
If so, what class do you recommend that I play? I'd want something good for solo play, with good survivability, but also good offense.
... if that's not too much to ask :P

Hmm nothing that matters is missing, plus it's known fairy will be new due to scrapping the individuality of them. Looks fine.

Solo doesn't matter as any job can do solo content on their own, even healers can DPS down anything. Considering ARR and the first Expansion were free, may as well. It will only cost you the sub cost which is cheap if you get the entry subscription.
Because of new spells. It seems they're really splitting SCH and SMN apart instead of still having so much overlap, same reason why SCH started getting Broil upgrades instead of Ruin upgrades and there hasn't been an upgrade to Ruin II. Similarily, SMN is losing Aetherflow as a direct +3 spell, it's now some sort of direct damage spell(or maybe dot unsure), that gives only 2 aetherflow, and it's balanced around that. They're also losing a bunch of other spells in common, Bane, Rouse and Shadow Flare. They'll get their own flavors.
You can actually see SCH casting the new Broil in the skill video, and it's likely they'll have a new dot to go with it. There's also a screenshot of a supposedly leaked aoe, to replace Miasma II.
Honestly the SMN/SCH split is long time coming. The only reason they're not entirely splitting them is they'd need to make a 1-30questline for the starting Scholar class, and that'd be a lot of work for no real reason.
