I'm still waiting to see how they go back and change the dye channels and graphics for a lot of the older gear. Not complaining, just like to hear progress on that
@Azulapus Speaking of hairstyles, the Viera have multiple hairstyles that are just duplicates of another hairstyle with a headpiece tacked on. Those headpieces would have been nice headgear for the vendor selling the racial starting sets.
Meoni asked Yoshi P about this in an interview! You should dig around on Meoni's page, the interview is from this summer, so it's not too old - just before DT came out, really, and Yoshi P was saying that with how its made, they can't do the horns differently...which I think is more of a cop-out than anything. WoW had eye colors tied to faces, once upon a time, and completely changed their character creation system to allow this thing that was old, outdated, and disliked, to be updated to be more user friendly.
I wish they would give us an option to change expressions permanently. Not to the point where characters walk around with a permanent wide open mouth grin but rather a slight stern look or a sad frown or a smile, stuff like that. I have noticed that my character has this blank emotionless stare all the time. I imagine my character to be quite happy and cheery so it looks really awkward a lot of the time.
@@ExileTwilight Like we have /cpose so why not /cmood? That way, you can walk around happy, sad, upset, angry - maybe just those 4 to switch between when you /cmood
The things I would really like to see updated for characters: Body graphics that match the improved quality of the faces Muscle slider on other races than hyurs Splitting clan markings and horns from the face types Better makeup and facepaint More options for eye shapes and eyebrow options. Give me the butt slider. I demand it, lol. Tail thickness? And it'd be nice to have some more highlights for hairs, as is a lot you can barely even notice that there is a highlight with how subtle it is
Remove scales from Au'ra would be nice - they're in the Lore of the game anyway, though scaleless Au'ras are far and few, but does happen - cuz you hear about a scaleless Au'ra as part of a quest in Ruby Sea

I would just really like a texture update for Miqo'te tails. My character has a lovely new face, but her tail looks exactly the same, and it's a little jarring. It's most obvious on the fluffiest tail option.
@@Luxayt_ I imagine they didn't change that because they're being super over the top with "remaining true to the old models" They could do way better nowadays and I agree with that. Hopefully in the customization update, they'll just give a bunch of additional better, updated tail options, not bogged down by "must be accurate to the old versions".

You have to understand, the development team behind FFXIV is a small indie team, they can't be expected to release completed content. Even if it's several years after the "Thing" has been added into the game.
I'm really glad yoshi p is covering these issues in such detail. I'm about to start uni for game art so this is a bit of industry insight I find really interesting
I’ll be honest, I went to art school with game/concept art in mind and literally every professional I’ve looked into have said it was a waste of money. I still went because I had the gi bill and didn’t really know where else to start but never planned to graduate, just took as many classes as possible but it is stupid expensive (25-35k a year minimum). Unfortunately it burnt me out and I’m still trying to get back into art 4 years later, but I would honestly suggest checking out mark brunett’s art school. It’s online "classes", he’s got a discord-like server for each semester for feedback on whatever the topic is. If I remember correctly the whole thing is $1200, I think it’s mostly drawing stuff but I think he does have some 3d stuff in there too. Good luck whatever you choose to do
Hello, I have been new to ff14 since March when it was released on xbox. Been loving the game so far. And I have been looking for a news outlet for the game. Stumbled upon your channel. So thank you for the up to date news🙌🙌
And better normal maps too. The normal maps for the bodies of hyur-based characters (i.e. elezen, lalafell, highlander, viera, miqo'te) are so awful, it feels like they're pinched balloons or something. The Roe normal maps look way better.
The eyebrows were my only complaint when Dawntrail came out, but maybe it's just me. I hadn't noticed before that they're only half brows, it was very distracting, changed my hair to cover it up.
There is, but it's a thick, heavy, Groucho Marx-style of eyebrow. Just as distracting as half an eyebrow. And in certain lighting, you can tell it's a face paint, with no hair texture.
Really looking forward to having everyone’s top lip restored, it’s really noticeable on face 2 hyur midlander fems and face 3 fem miqos as an example. Here’s also hoping Thancred won’t look as weird as he does in game currently 😅
I thought they looked a bit better, but still not up to date with a modern game that can properly render fur. I'm tired of having two 2D planes smashed together to make it look 'fluffy', but is very obviously two 2D flat planes set perpendicular to each other.
I really hope that one of the issues that'll be fixed, is currently, a lot the "arms/sleeves" of certain outfits/armors, end up looking MUCH bigger on Hrothgals than say FemRoes, which ends up giving them a "bulkier" look than one would expect.
That's the update I'm waiting for, along with unbinding hairstyles to faces, but part of me fears that it'll be filed under "working as intended" or they'll give us the same "we'll get to it, don't worry" excuse they did for hrothgar and viera hats.
As a Femroe player, at first I was a little offput by my character's look, which I would describe as a little more serious/harder. I have really quickly gotten over that and the updated faces are much much better in some regards. Been very happy with the changes for my character.
I love how the devs have such good communication with the community. I dont play much now due to adulting, however I continue my sub as a way to support this team- they do game development and community care likle it should be done!
I played a whole expansion with glowing horns. That's a feature for me at this point. I'm really annoyed at the complainers who want everything to be identical. But also at Square enix, this is a perfect chance to just give more options. Why not have a toggle for subsurface scattering on horns? Allow people to pick different eyelash styles. This is a mostly social mmo with barely any character options, and they wonder why so many mod.

It's really unfair to blame it on "complainers" when the developers are the ones admitting to it being a mistake on their part with light eendering. If you think it's cool, fine. But I would hazard to guess you're also not an engineer on their team either. They probably see the issue that bug is going to have in orher climates or lightings with the horns that I know YOU and the "complainers" would then bring up when the time comes. It's not about making things identical. It's about making things work properly as intended. We used to cherish that for games back in the day...
@D-Havoc There are plenty of examples of games that turned bugs into features. Warframe, for instance, didn't have parkour until players found out how to launch themselves with melee, and it was so fun they made it official. Point being they have an opportunity to turn an accident into some more player expression that this game sorely lacks.
i really like it when a game team is willing to provide a detailed information about what went wrong and telling us - hey this is how we're going to fix it. Open communication is the best. So much better than just denyinig and fixing it quietly. Or just denying there is a problem at all.
I Know I read it kinda quickly, but I didn't see a single mention of the sleeve problem for hrothgals, that some of the gear you wear the sleeves become ENORMOUS... Sigh... And here I was hoping they would fix that so I could finally switch the race of my character...

@@christabelle__ you're not wrong, I probably should also add another post there, but don't get me wrong, there are already SEVERAL and I mean SEVERAL posts there talking about a lot of issues with scaling regarding the hrothgals. Just search for something like "female hrothgar sleeve problem" and you'll see several links of posts both in there and in other places like Reddit talking about the very same issue ever since they added femhroths to the game. In this lodestone post they said that they do check feedback in several places so it's practically impossible for them not to see the several posts in their own forum.
Agreed, while I do love that they went with a more athletic build that fits the males, I find it jarring at how ridiculously large sleeves become with certain outfits. I understand that they're buff girls, but the sleeves are disproportionately larger than their actual arms. It makes them look too masculine to the point of comical.
@@vipercrb5622 Exactly! I totally love their "tomboy aesthetic" but the scaling is ridiculous! Anything that covers from the elbow and up becomes ENORMOUS and totally out of proportion.
@@christabelle__ There's actually a few threads about Hrothgal sleeves in the forums (or at least they were a few weeks ago) so it should have gotten some attention, being the new race and all that.
I still wish we could choose the color of the eyebrows... my miqo'te has a tan complexion and slightly blond hair, so her eyebrows sometimes blend with her skin tone
I'm happy for this upcoming patch. My Viera's mouth when smiling has this extra curve a the corner of the lips, and it really bugs me cuz it made my character look cartoony. So I hope my character will look like it used too soon.
I have a Hyur who after 7.0 got very subtle bags under her eyes. I ended up really liking it, like a reflection of all the hardship they went thru from ARR to EW. This new Yoshi P post worries me. I hope I don't lose that subtle aspect to my character's design.
This. There's a lot of things that may not have been intended, but that I ended up liking. One of the faces being more weathered and slightly more wrinkled for my character, for example. I can only hope that these features will be considered additions for the character customization update, because I don't want to lose them.
I'm pretty sure they'll keep it as an option if enough players ask. As for more wrinkly looking characters? I'm not too sure, I feel like most prefer our characters looking like they're in their 20s or 30s

@@chelsthegameruiner8669 Plenty of people don't, actually. LOADS of people mod in fat people and old people because there's no option for that...we're all diverse in real life, too. Some people don't become successful until they're in their 50s! Maybe they want an older, weathered, and more seasoned looking adventurer...even Meteor no longer looks 20ish! He has grown up in every xpac trailer, and now look like a grizzled 30 something, instead of a fresh young 19 year old guy heading out on adventure. More options for creation is always better!
I'm REALLY proud of a lot of the new changes, like -- i realize not everyone has, like there's CLEARLY VALID bugs that people have found! (*Myself included, eyebrows on seeker miqo male make the face paint stripe bug out weird depending on the version) - And i know i'm overhyper about some stuff because autistic and all that - but dang, two dye slots in a lot of newer gear? I barely even glammed before now, now i'm needing 40 plates for 8.0 pls XD
eyelashes have been glitched for the past 2 years in editor, for certain species half the time they are non existent when creating but pop back up once loaded into the game
One of my retainer is just for relic weapons.. I know I could just discard them and get the replics, but I dont want to throw away hours of memories and grinding. Its time for a third free retainer. Every expension adds new mats and relics and a lot of newly added recipes demand older expansion mats. I already struggled in EW to keep some mats and actively de-hqed mats to fit into my retainer and now it is even worse.. I list stuff for way over the market price, just to stock additional stacks..
@@fenikkusu4893 In my opinion relic weapons should be store'able in the armoire, and totem items (or things of that nature) should have a tab in the currency section

None of this stuff they wrote are things I care about, like in a sense of having an entire essay written on it for the lodestone. Like yeah little visual bugs and glitches fix them ASAP. Then bury that in the patch notes behind more important things like being able to actually have more face options, letting xaela pick between blue or black scales no matter their gender, updating the ugly 2D miqote tails to be 3D. Fixing weird issues like male miqo'te broken fingers in their default idle stance. Or better yet, having cutscenes actually reflecting our chosen idle stance. Maybe even adding more idle stances. Butt sliders, every race having a muscle slider... hell while we're on this why not improve the muscle slider in general to not look so crappy? More gear having that 2nd dye channel, existing 2nd dye channels that barely do much adjusted to actually change more, etc.
Thanks for breaking this down and working through the update. Could not agree more on your point on Solution 9 and more color choices in our hair. Just another thought (and this is really minor), I play a male Mi’qote and my wife and daughter play female au ra and lalafel respectively. Both of their hair looks so much more refined and alive for lack of a better term than mine post 7.0, but I’m not sure if others are having the same experience or opinion.
XIV is not without it's issues, but few teams/producers respond with the care and passion that I find the XIV team does. I LOOOOVE the graphics update. I am very attached to my character's appearance; even changing her hair was a "Nope, that's not her" kinda vibe. But I have never looked so deeply as to care about the directions of eye lashes, for example. But I acknowledge that there are people who are.
Speaking of Gpose something I would love to see is letting us alter the time of day or weather conditions for our shots. The weather stays as is outside of course but it would be nice to not be stuck with the current sun and weather when trying to take a pic.
I have little doubt that we'll be getting more haircolors at some point. There’s no way they didn't know players would clamor for all those Solution 9 and All Saint's NPC neons! Also really hopeful that fem Viera face 2 and 4 lips will finally get fixed! (Face 4 especially has a completely different mouth shape compared to before the graphics update.)

@@christabelle__ There have been complaints from me and others about this issue in various places, including official forums and reddit, and his specific comments about lips/mouths makes me think they listened, hence me having some hope this time.
Oh good! One of my alts has a hairstyle where the front braid is slightly levitating off the scalp, and I have a Viera who looks like she just buried her nose in some ash. Good to know that those have been noticed!
And no mention of female rothgar hairstyles. I am left waiting for new hairstyles or old hairstyles to become available for my alt female rothgar 😭 On a different note. I am enjoying going through the story again with my alt. Sone stuff was changed for the better,others for the worse. The changed some of the dialogue .
It's a whole different topic. It'd be like "oh we're adding a new crystalline conflict arena". It's just not related to this. If they talk about hairstyles for Hrothgar females, or hats, or whatever, it'd be in a live letter or interview. Also what dialogue did they change?
@@Zakjuh sort of. What I meant to say was that if they are working on other character stuff that means they probably won't work on female rothgar any time soon except for the graphics changes maybe. Dialogue they made some of it better by cutting some stuff out. But also with Ungust they changed the dialogue he gives with the woman he accuses of stealing. I get why they did it. Might trigger some people but personally I feel like his old dialogue made him seem more like a scumbag and made me dislike him more. Like before he said something along the lines of,and I am paraphrasing here cuz I can't remember the exact sentence but it was like " you just have to lay on your back and make me money" or something like that and now he just says "we can find ways to make you pay me back" or something like that. Like I get why they wanted to changed as to not trigger people who experienced something like that but the original made me dislike Ungust more than what it is now. The original made me feel more disgusted with Ungust.
@@Lorddominion Eh, I doubt it. This is more about ironing out issues from the old graphics to the new graphics. Work should still be continuing on all other facets of the game. They have gear textures and materials to update, NPCs to update, new hair to add. I'm sure new Hrothgar hairstyles will happen as well. The whole Viera and Hrothgar hat thing YoshiP said they were working on during New Year, so we'll have to see what (if anything) that is when he finally talks about it in detail. Fingers crossed. And yeah, I agree. I don't like them going back and changing dialogue to be more "correct". For better or worse, language and behavior like that contributed to the lived in feel XIV had and has, and shows us that Eorzea has a bunch of different types of people. Removing that just makes the setting feel more childish and patronizing.
I shouldn't be surprised there's nothing about Male Hyur Midlander Face 3 (the merchant one) foreheads (the wrinkles are super defined whereas before the forehead looked smoother) considering it's not as used but man (and yes I did submit feedback about it in the forums but was the only user of the face upset about it LOL)
Or maybe it's because I keep making jokes about how each wrinkle/line on the forehead is an expansion launch since the face is used for Yoshi P's ingame personifications
eventually, i'd love to see an option where we can choose whether we have bangs or not. my hairstyle is the one in the thumbnail, the bob with the thick side braids and bangs. because of my characters facial markings and some of the headgear, i really wish she didn't have bangs. yes, i could just change my hairstyle to something that shows off the forehead, but i've had this hairstyle since the beginning of arr, i'm kinda attached to it so an option without the bangs would be nice.
I'll say, one thing I noticed that's less to do with the graphical update and more to do with cutscene design, is that in a lot of dawntrail cutscenes they tended to use angry expressions for no reason. My miqo'te constantly had her eyebrows in an angry expression during cutscenes when listening to other characters, and it felt extremely out of context. It was almost as glaring as some of the times back in shb and ew when the character looked pensive/regretful. I wish they scaled back on that because I was constantly thrown off by how often my miqo'te was angry for no good reason.
I also hope they won't drastically change my character's face again. After the 7.0 patch I was quite upset about my characters new appearance so I had to literally pick a different face. But that time I was still in ARR so I didn't really mind as much afterwards. Now being further in the story my character really grew on me and really I love the way my character looks like. If she ends up looking different again it would break immersion and she would just feel Alien to me
After the update, if my femroe makes a suprised or any expression with raised eyebrows her eye area looks so stretched and goofy, but no one plays femroe so Im assuming she will look like that forever now 😂
I was so used to the old fem roe face that i used, that after the graphics update i have stayed as an elezen, since i dont think that i can get the old roe look back ;(

I'd like to thank Wuk Lamat for their contined work improving the state of the game. Yoshi likes to take the credit for these changes but I think we all know its really Wuk steering this ship. Nice work.
the jawline issue is the one that I've dealt with the most as my wol is a face 4 Auri. They used to look a lot sharper and with thinner cheeks, now she looks a lot. rounder and her facial features seem a lot smaller on her face than they used to be.
I really hope they won't ruin my female midlander face. Before DT, I didn't really liked the face I'm using right now very much, but after the rework, I absolutely love it! Although I love the graphic update, I really miss my old nose scar. Before DT it had such a cool texture to it, and now it just looks like the scar is a thin line painted in her face. That being said, I'm super happy to hear that they're still working on that stuff. And new customization options is super awesome to hear!

I hope they go back and add dye channels for older gear, so much gear is good but has forced bold colors (green, purple, red) that make it hard to make good glams with them.
"The fact that auri horns have no blood vessels does indeed make for a strange sight." Uuuh, no horns can absolutely have blood vessels if the underlying structure is bone. Look at goats for example. Some faces might be mostly keratin for the horns, but at least 2 of the female faces must be living bone with how they are structured. Fish faced auri also look more like fins or radiators than horns.
All throughout Endwalker I was fine, after the graphical improvements I get random DirectX 11 crashes. I would love to see support for DirectX 12 (and ultimate for those on windows 11).
Oh man I'm worried...I haven't changed my toons since I made em. And they came out great in the update, so I haven't used the free fantasia...I hope they will be ok...
I saw the subsurface scattering on horns almost immediately after logging in for 7.0 and i was indescribably excited about it. Hearing they plan on changing it hurts me more than seeing nerfs to my main 😢
If the community had its way, we'd go back to flat shaded cardboard models from 10 years again. I too hate how so many things just get ruined by "IT ISN'T 100% LIKE IT USED TO BE! TAKE IT AWAY!!! FIX IT!!" It has already led to the graphical upgrades being so much more mild than they should have been, and now they want what little we got to be taken away as well.

Whenever anything gets better that’s a good thing but these issues seem Microscopic compared to other things in the game that need to be fixed. In my opinion, the scale of these adjustments is smaller than adding a feature into the game to transmute more than one materia at a time.
@@1Mrstephen And the people handling each issue would be different anyway, so it's not taking away workforce from it. If that's a feature you want, then say so in the official forums. Blaming artists and 3D modellers for not working in something that's handled by a programmer is silly. Besides, this may seem "minor" but it's a follow-up on 3+ years worth of work that affects to some degree almost the entirety of their playerbase. People who even bother to transmute materia are substantially less than that.

I hope that someday they will make Au Ra facial tattoos not blend with their scales. I just want my Au Ra to have a slight reddish blush without her her scales getting colored as well. It looks weird
Overall the graphic update was nice and so was the character changes BUT dye systems and other QoL changes like term filter was disappointing and felt half baked and I hope they go back and tweak those more
I hope my favorite mount gets the graphics update treatment. The Amber Draught Chocobo's textures are dull and pixelated compared to everything else ever since 7.0 dropped.
Crazy how we can afford to spend so many "resources" on something like this. Details that are hardly noticeable when actually playing the game, but as soon as someone brings up a valid QoL suggestion to gameplay that takes an ounce of effort to achieve the community argument is always "wE DoNt hAVe REsouRcES". Like I'd rather see them working on ways to help dailies not feel so mundane in a way that would bridge the gap between the casuals and hardcore gamers, or something of that nature. Be fr who's camera is that close to someone else's face where they are counting polygons and comparing it to someone else's face and is like... "yup they missing about 4 polygons under the eyelids of this one, and omg where are her pores?"
Honestly I want less graphics updates and more loading updates cause I'm getting kinda sick of losing runs to someone's effects just not loading in properly.
I'm still waiting to see how they go back and change the dye channels and graphics for a lot of the older gear. Not complaining, just like to hear progress on that
Definately needs a second pass. Having a "label" on the edge of clothing as the second option kinda sucks :P

More options for eye shapes and eyebrow options.
Give me the butt slider. I demand it, lol.
Tail thickness?
And it'd be nice to have some more highlights for hairs, as is a lot you can barely even notice that there is a highlight with how subtle it is
Remove scales from Au'ra would be nice - they're in the Lore of the game anyway, though scaleless Au'ras are far and few, but does happen - cuz you hear about a scaleless Au'ra as part of a quest in Ruby Sea
@@nekotranslates it'd be nice to also be able to have more scales and body markings on miqo'te

@@LameMule same
I would just really like a texture update for Miqo'te tails. My character has a lovely new face, but her tail looks exactly the same, and it's a little jarring. It's most obvious on the fluffiest tail option.
I know right like two pngs stuck together. They need to be fluffier and better looking. Luckily there are mods to help that for me. . .
@@Luxayt_ I imagine they didn't change that because they're being super over the top with "remaining true to the old models"
They could do way better nowadays and I agree with that. Hopefully in the customization update, they'll just give a bunch of additional better, updated tail options, not bogged down by "must be accurate to the old versions".

Still waiting on viera headgear
I think you'll wait for a very long time 😅
Yea, im a hrothgar I feel your pain, but I don’t think it’ll happen, just comes with being a viera or hrothgar.
It already exists with mods idk what is taking SE so long... just yoink it and put it in the game

i don't see the horns glowing red as a problem
😈
lol me either :D makes my vampire looking aura look super creepy, i kinda like it
I never saw the red as a problem, I loved that the upgraded lighting showed that the horns were hollow.
When I first noticed it I really loved it......I think it makes my au ra so prettyyy
it's the entire reason why i changed to aura temporarily and also why i prefer raen over xaela 😢 it was so cool

I’ll be honest, I went to art school with game/concept art in mind and literally every professional I’ve looked into have said it was a waste of money. I still went because I had the gi bill and didn’t really know where else to start but never planned to graduate, just took as many classes as possible but it is stupid expensive (25-35k a year minimum). Unfortunately it burnt me out and I’m still trying to get back into art 4 years later, but I would honestly suggest checking out mark brunett’s art school. It’s online "classes", he’s got a discord-like server for each semester for feedback on whatever the topic is.

Hello, I have been new to ff14 since March when it was released on xbox. Been loving the game so far. And I have been looking for a news outlet for the game. Stumbled upon your channel. So thank you for the up to date news🙌🙌
Welcome to the ff14 community- hope you are enjoying the game, tip: glamour is ENDGAME and lalas are the master race.
@@twistedcherrypop trust me if I look good I can play good.
Meonis channel is pretty much always on point, subbing here is easily worth it.

I think making the lip color more natural (so you can change the color yourself) would go a long way toward making more faces usable.
The cursed Highlander Male face doesn't look as cursed anymore.
I hope they'll add some polygons to character bodies sometime, still able to see the jagged edges of shoulders and the square appearance of fingers.
And better normal maps too. The normal maps for the bodies of hyur-based characters (i.e. elezen, lalafell, highlander, viera, miqo'te) are so awful, it feels like they're pinched balloons or something.
The Roe normal maps look way better.
And what about feet too?
Though they're usually covered, but some feet options show the toes
@@nekotranslates some sandals are updated with newer toes and feet but not all, but I think that's only because it's on a piece by piece basis
You mean boobs, and yes I agree.
The eyebrows were my only complaint when Dawntrail came out, but maybe it's just me. I hadn't noticed before that they're only half brows, it was very distracting, changed my hair to cover it up.
I thought that was what the face paint was for? I recall them having markings that elongated the brows.
@@Khajitxi Is there!? I went back through character creation, tried different races and faces, but probably didn't pay attention to the face paint
There is, but it's a thick, heavy, Groucho Marx-style of eyebrow. Just as distracting as half an eyebrow. And in certain lighting, you can tell it's a face paint, with no hair texture.
@@tristanelasus2225 Aw dang
Duskwright have a toggle for longer eyebrows. Not super bushy but thicker and longer than default
Really looking forward to having everyone’s top lip restored, it’s really noticeable on face 2 hyur midlander fems and face 3 fem miqos as an example. Here’s also hoping Thancred won’t look as weird as he does in game currently 😅
Has anyone else noticed that miqote’s tails looks WAY worse since the graphics update?
Yes! I don't think they updated them at all, and they look really bad compared to everything else now. :(
Yes they look even more the same now :joy:
I thought they looked a bit better, but still not up to date with a modern game that can properly render fur. I'm tired of having two 2D planes smashed together to make it look 'fluffy', but is very obviously two 2D flat planes set perpendicular to each other.
The fluffy tail looks horrible now
I really hope that one of the issues that'll be fixed, is currently, a lot the "arms/sleeves" of certain outfits/armors, end up looking MUCH bigger on Hrothgals than say FemRoes, which ends up giving them a "bulkier" look than one would expect.
That's the update I'm waiting for, along with unbinding hairstyles to faces, but part of me fears that it'll be filed under "working as intended" or they'll give us the same "we'll get to it, don't worry" excuse they did for hrothgar and viera hats.
I'm happy to hear that more character creation options are coming!
All these extra polygons and not a single one on the butt. BOO!
Need boob and ass sliders
butt slider when?!!!!
@@Meoni1 they can add it and limit it so it doesn't look too exaggerated and hentai-ish lol
@@Meoni1 They've already proven they can enhance with just the 2B bottoms, so why not just a button to "enhance"?
@@Meoni1 If I understand things right, the butts are actually a function of the gear--butt shape is built into the pants.
As a Femroe player, at first I was a little offput by my character's look, which I would describe as a little more serious/harder. I have really quickly gotten over that and the updated faces are much much better in some regards. Been very happy with the changes for my character.
I love how the devs have such good communication with the community. I dont play much now due to adulting, however I continue my sub as a way to support this team- they do game development and community care likle it should be done!
I played a whole expansion with glowing horns. That's a feature for me at this point. I'm really annoyed at the complainers who want everything to be identical.
But also at Square enix, this is a perfect chance to just give more options. Why not have a toggle for subsurface scattering on horns? Allow people to pick different eyelash styles. This is a mostly social mmo with barely any character options, and they wonder why so many mod.

Sometimes it's not anyone complaining and just the devs wanting to change something. Like the viper changes.
It's really unfair to blame it on "complainers" when the developers are the ones admitting to it being a mistake on their part with light eendering. If you think it's cool, fine. But I would hazard to guess you're also not an engineer on their team either. They probably see the issue that bug is going to have in orher climates or lightings with the horns that I know YOU and the "complainers" would then bring up when the time comes.
It's not about making things identical. It's about making things work properly as intended. We used to cherish that for games back in the day...
@D-Havoc There are plenty of examples of games that turned bugs into features.
Warframe, for instance, didn't have parkour until players found out how to launch themselves with melee, and it was so fun they made it official.
Point being they have an opportunity to turn an accident into some more player expression that this game sorely lacks.
i really like it when a game team is willing to provide a detailed information about what went wrong and telling us - hey this is how we're going to fix it. Open communication is the best.
So much better than just denyinig and fixing it quietly. Or just denying there is a problem at all.
I Know I read it kinda quickly, but I didn't see a single mention of the sleeve problem for hrothgals, that some of the gear you wear the sleeves become ENORMOUS...
Sigh...
And here I was hoping they would fix that so I could finally switch the race of my character...

@@christabelle__ you're not wrong, I probably should also add another post there, but don't get me wrong, there are already SEVERAL and I mean SEVERAL posts there talking about a lot of issues with scaling regarding the hrothgals.
Just search for something like "female hrothgar sleeve problem" and you'll see several links of posts both in there and in other places like Reddit talking about the very same issue ever since they added femhroths to the game.
In this lodestone post they said that they do check feedback in several places so it's practically impossible for them not to see the several posts in their own forum.
Agreed, while I do love that they went with a more athletic build that fits the males, I find it jarring at how ridiculously large sleeves become with certain outfits. I understand that they're buff girls, but the sleeves are disproportionately larger than their actual arms. It makes them look too masculine to the point of comical.
@@vipercrb5622 Exactly! I totally love their "tomboy aesthetic" but the scaling is ridiculous!
Anything that covers from the elbow and up becomes ENORMOUS and totally out of proportion.
@@christabelle__ There's actually a few threads about Hrothgal sleeves in the forums (or at least they were a few weeks ago) so it should have gotten some attention, being the new race and all that.
Shadows on the body look horrible inside buildings. Tons of banding.
Good maybe this will fix the male au ra eye tightness when smiling in portraits.
I would like to see added vegetation and debris that breaks up the hard edges of geometry intersecting environmental geometry.
I still wish we could choose the color of the eyebrows... my miqo'te has a tan complexion and slightly blond hair, so her eyebrows sometimes blend with her skin tone
I'm happy for this upcoming patch. My Viera's mouth when smiling has this extra curve a the corner of the lips, and it really bugs me cuz it made my character look cartoony. So I hope my character will look like it used too soon.
They made highlander fems better looking so hope their changes don't make them worse, lol
You and me both, took me an unbelievably long amount of time to make mine look good back in Endwalker
Yeah, Viera ♀smiling at the duty complete scene is disturbing.
I hope my character isn't destroyed by the patch. It looks fine as it is.
I'm really glad I haven't used that free fantasia yet just in case
right? my cat boi's already look perfect. If there's significant changes will be made, I hope they will provide another free fantasia.
I have a Hyur who after 7.0 got very subtle bags under her eyes. I ended up really liking it, like a reflection of all the hardship they went thru from ARR to EW. This new Yoshi P post worries me.
I hope I don't lose that subtle aspect to my character's design.
This. There's a lot of things that may not have been intended, but that I ended up liking. One of the faces being more weathered and slightly more wrinkled for my character, for example.
I can only hope that these features will be considered additions for the character customization update, because I don't want to lose them.
I'm pretty sure they'll keep it as an option if enough players ask. As for more wrinkly looking characters? I'm not too sure, I feel like most prefer our characters looking like they're in their 20s or 30s

Its time for a third free retainer. Every expension adds new mats and relics and a lot of newly added recipes demand older expansion mats. I already struggled in EW to keep some mats and actively de-hqed mats to fit into my retainer and now it is even worse.. I list stuff for way over the market price, just to stock additional stacks..

None of this stuff they wrote are things I care about, like in a sense of having an entire essay written on it for the lodestone. Like yeah little visual bugs and glitches fix them ASAP. Then bury that in the patch notes behind more important things like being able to actually have more face options, letting xaela pick between blue or black scales no matter their gender, updating the ugly 2D miqote tails to be 3D. Fixing weird issues like male miqo'te broken fingers in their default idle stance. Or better yet, having cutscenes actually reflecting our chosen idle stance. Maybe even adding more idle stances. Butt sliders, every race having a muscle slider... hell while we're on this why not improve the muscle slider in general to not look so crappy? More gear having that 2nd dye channel, existing 2nd dye channels that barely do much adjusted to actually change more, etc.
Thanks for breaking this down and working through the update. Could not agree more on your point on Solution 9 and more color choices in our hair. Just another thought (and this is really minor), I play a male Mi’qote and my wife and daughter play female au ra and lalafel respectively. Both of their hair looks so much more refined and alive for lack of a better term than mine post 7.0, but I’m not sure if others are having the same experience or opinion.
People have made mods bc of this, so people notice! There's a modpack to 'de-blur' some of the hair that is somehow uprezzed but real blurry.
@@christabelle__ thank you! I’m glad I’m not crazy! It’s especially noticeable how awesome my family’s characters look in comparison.
XIV is not without it's issues, but few teams/producers respond with the care and passion that I find the XIV team does. I LOOOOVE the graphics update. I am very attached to my character's appearance; even changing her hair was a "Nope, that's not her" kinda vibe. But I have never looked so deeply as to care about the directions of eye lashes, for example. But I acknowledge that there are people who are.
Speaking of Gpose something I would love to see is letting us alter the time of day or weather conditions for our shots. The weather stays as is outside of course but it would be nice to not be stuck with the current sun and weather when trying to take a pic.
hyur's eyebrows should be able to be made thicker like for other races..
I have little doubt that we'll be getting more haircolors at some point. There’s no way they didn't know players would clamor for all those Solution 9 and All Saint's NPC neons!
Also really hopeful that fem Viera face 2 and 4 lips will finally get fixed! (Face 4 especially has a completely different mouth shape compared to before the graphics update.)

Oh good! One of my alts has a hairstyle where the front braid is slightly levitating off the scalp, and I have a Viera who looks like she just buried her nose in some ash. Good to know that those have been noticed!
I still feel like my miqo'te face 3 is a completely different character. I'm hoping this fixes a lot of issues!!
And no mention of female rothgar hairstyles.
I am left waiting for new hairstyles or old hairstyles to become available for my alt female rothgar 😭
On a different note. I am enjoying going through the story again with my alt. Sone stuff was changed for the better,others for the worse. The changed some of the dialogue .
It's a whole different topic. It'd be like "oh we're adding a new crystalline conflict arena". It's just not related to this. If they talk about hairstyles for Hrothgar females, or hats, or whatever, it'd be in a live letter or interview.
Also what dialogue did they change?
@@Zakjuh sort of. What I meant to say was that if they are working on other character stuff that means they probably won't work on female rothgar any time soon except for the graphics changes maybe.
Dialogue they made some of it better by cutting some stuff out. But also with Ungust they changed the dialogue he gives with the woman he accuses of stealing. I get why they did it. Might trigger some people but personally I feel like his old dialogue made him seem more like a scumbag and made me dislike him more. Like before he said something along the lines of,and I am paraphrasing here cuz I can't remember the exact sentence but it was like " you just have to lay on your back and make me money" or something like that and now he just says "we can find ways to make you pay me back" or something like that.
Like I get why they wanted to changed as to not trigger people who experienced something like that but the original made me dislike Ungust more than what it is now. The original made me feel more disgusted with Ungust.
@@Lorddominion Eh, I doubt it. This is more about ironing out issues from the old graphics to the new graphics. Work should still be continuing on all other facets of the game. They have gear textures and materials to update, NPCs to update, new hair to add. I'm sure new Hrothgar hairstyles will happen as well. The whole Viera and Hrothgar hat thing YoshiP said they were working on during New Year, so we'll have to see what (if anything) that is when he finally talks about it in detail. Fingers crossed.
And yeah, I agree. I don't like them going back and changing dialogue to be more "correct". For better or worse, language and behavior like that contributed to the lived in feel XIV had and has, and shows us that Eorzea has a bunch of different types of people. Removing that just makes the setting feel more childish and patronizing.
It took a LONG TIME for male Roe and Fem Viera to get more hairs, but they did! So we just...gotta be patient.
hopefully they also fix the eyes on adventure plates cause with color correction the whites in eyes turn to whatever color your doing
I shouldn't be surprised there's nothing about Male Hyur Midlander Face 3 (the merchant one) foreheads (the wrinkles are super defined whereas before the forehead looked smoother) considering it's not as used but man (and yes I did submit feedback about it in the forums but was the only user of the face upset about it LOL)
Or maybe it's because I keep making jokes about how each wrinkle/line on the forehead is an expansion launch since the face is used for Yoshi P's ingame personifications
They also need to update indoor and outdoor house furnishings. It’s a huge contrast when the furnishings still have 2.0 graphics 👀
eventually, i'd love to see an option where we can choose whether we have bangs or not. my hairstyle is the one in the thumbnail, the bob with the thick side braids and bangs. because of my characters facial markings and some of the headgear, i really wish she didn't have bangs. yes, i could just change my hairstyle to something that shows off the forehead, but i've had this hairstyle since the beginning of arr, i'm kinda attached to it so an option without the bangs would be nice.
I'll say, one thing I noticed that's less to do with the graphical update and more to do with cutscene design, is that in a lot of dawntrail cutscenes they tended to use angry expressions for no reason. My miqo'te constantly had her eyebrows in an angry expression during cutscenes when listening to other characters, and it felt extremely out of context. It was almost as glaring as some of the times back in shb and ew when the character looked pensive/regretful. I wish they scaled back on that because I was constantly thrown off by how often my miqo'te was angry for no good reason.
I also hope they won't drastically change my character's face again.
After the 7.0 patch I was quite upset about my characters new appearance so I had to literally pick a different face. But that time I was still in ARR so I didn't really mind as much afterwards.
Now being further in the story my character really grew on me and really I love the way my character looks like. If she ends up looking different again it would break immersion and she would just feel Alien to me
After the update, if my femroe makes a suprised or any expression with raised eyebrows her eye area looks so stretched and goofy, but no one plays femroe so Im assuming she will look like that forever now 😂
I was so used to the old fem roe face that i used, that after the graphics update i have stayed as an elezen, since i dont think that i can get the old roe look back ;(

God no
the jawline issue is the one that I've dealt with the most as my wol is a face 4 Auri. They used to look a lot sharper and with thinner cheeks, now she looks a lot. rounder and her facial features seem a lot smaller on her face than they used to be.
Aww but I love the transparency of aura horns with light sources
Top priorities should be Viera & Hrothgar headgear AND Female Hrothgar gear sizing when worn (too bulky, shrunken feet, etc).
Hope they also add more variety of facewear. I need my scholar roung nerd glasses, SE!
I really hope they won't ruin my female midlander face. Before DT, I didn't really liked the face I'm using right now very much, but after the rework, I absolutely love it! Although I love the graphic update, I really miss my old nose scar. Before DT it had such a cool texture to it, and now it just looks like the scar is a thin line painted in her face.

@@christabelle__ That's a very good point.
I hope they go back and add dye channels for older gear, so much gear is good but has forced bold colors (green, purple, red) that make it hard to make good glams with them.
"The fact that auri horns have no blood vessels does indeed make for a strange sight." Uuuh, no horns can absolutely have blood vessels if the underlying structure is bone. Look at goats for example. Some faces might be mostly keratin for the horns, but at least 2 of the female faces must be living bone with how they are structured. Fish faced auri also look more like fins or radiators than horns.

Whenever anything gets better that’s a good thing but these issues seem Microscopic compared to other things in the game that need to be fixed. In my opinion, the scale of these adjustments is smaller than adding a feature into the game to transmute more than one materia at a time.
@@1Mrstephen And the people handling each issue would be different anyway, so it's not taking away workforce from it. If that's a feature you want, then say so in the official forums.
Blaming artists and 3D modellers for not working in something that's handled by a programmer is silly.
Besides, this may seem "minor" but it's a follow-up on 3+ years worth of work that affects to some degree almost the entirety of their playerbase. People who even bother to transmute materia are substantially less than that.

Then please hit up the forums for XIV! Go make a forum post saying this, or add your opinion to a forum where it's talked about, so they can know! Feedback here in RUclips comments won't make its way to the devs, so go fight for what you want/like!
No mention of Hrothgal armor being fucked.... this seems to be all about faces, I get that, but it's also about issues with out characters and Hrothgal armor just NOT fitting their arms and shoulders is most certainly a major character issue. Hopefully it's in the "there are other things we just didn't mention" part, but I'm running out of hopium for them to fix this major fucking issue with their new racial option.
@@vicariousxiv2436 The bulky shoulders/arms are a feature, not a bug. Many people like the way the armor fits.
@@GeneralButtKnight lol if they weren't such a horrendous mismatch for their actual arms then maybe, but seeing as how they are, it's not. Even the band on their starting gear doesn't fit their fucking arms LOL Shit's a fucking joke.

@@GeneralButtKnight I've seen nothing but complaints about it here in the comments, so it seems that many people also dislike it. It should be basically the same size as the character model though, it shouldn't ADD anything unless intended - it sounds like the armor this happens on may have some wrong information for which model it's on.
@@christabelle__ Already have, multiple times, and I'm not the only one either, this topic has been heavily covered on the english forums at least, so there's not much point in reblogging that for the sake of this topic, trust me.
yeah I can see why there are no resources left to take care of Viera & Hrothgar Headgear
Please give Au'ra Face 2 their mouth back. It was such a special cute feature and at the moment it's completely gone. :C
I hope they fixed my male Ra's horns and see through jaw when I enter Sera form
Full beards for not lalafell dwarfs that aren't tied to a helm, thanks!
i rly rly want the Krile Hairstyle for my Lalafell
You probably heard this before bur your voice sounds amazing!
Did they fix the housing lighting yet they talked about
This is good news and all.. but when are they gonna fix the absolute travesty that is the current dark knight?
DRK just keeps getting the nerfbat, while their favorite tank, Warrior, just gets better and better.
This is great and all but I just want my suncat's fangs back
I thought only mooncats had fangs?
@LittleSlimeGoblin you're right, only moon cat had fangs.
I NEED more item slots for MY HOUSE!!!!! Nooooow!!! .......... sorry.
Outdoor slots too, please.
11:47 That Elezen is very handsome
I hope that someday they will make Au Ra facial tattoos not blend with their scales.
I just want my Au Ra to have a slight reddish blush without her her scales getting colored as well. It looks weird
Overall the graphic update was nice and so was the character changes BUT dye systems and other QoL changes like term filter was disappointing and felt half baked and I hope they go back and tweak those more
They need to change floating sheathed weapons, like on your back, looks very bad! Been waiting on that for a long time
Still waiting to be able to wear some damn hats and helms.
I hope my favorite mount gets the graphics update treatment. The Amber Draught Chocobo's textures are dull and pixelated compared to everything else ever since 7.0 dropped.
Id like updates to the wootz gear... seen as how its what i wore in 11
Did they ever explain why they don't give us a slider option instead?
All I really want is arms and legs that are round and not shaped like an octagon.
When do we get the alliance raid 😩
Fix our asses please!!!
This^
Hyur face 2 pulling that chad face.
Please please please they need to fix the FemHroth shoulders/sleeves problem 😭
I’d still like to have freckles separate from the rest of the facial paints
Crazy how we can afford to spend so many "resources" on something like this. Details that are hardly noticeable when actually playing the game, but as soon as someone brings up a valid QoL suggestion to gameplay that takes an ounce of effort to achieve the community argument is always "wE DoNt hAVe REsouRcES". Like I'd rather see them working on ways to help dailies not feel so mundane in a way that would bridge the gap between the casuals and hardcore gamers, or something of that nature. Be fr who's camera is that close to someone else's face where they are counting polygons and comparing it to someone else's face and is like... "yup they missing about 4 polygons under the eyelids of this one, and omg where are her pores?"
One of the things I'd love to see, please fix the like... toe models on some of the open toe shoes. T_T.
Honestly I want less graphics updates and more loading updates cause I'm getting kinda sick of losing runs to someone's effects just not loading in properly.
