The character limit is mostly there due to the limitations of the PS4 and the PS3 before it. Why they didn't make it an ingame option to increase it yourself is beyond me and that's coming from a PS4 player.

Glad to have seen you as LunarCon Esfand. I got to give you a headpat while you were running around. Thank you for showing the good side of RP and the community. Crystal DC gets shit on way too much. Hope you come back next year
I don't think Esfand noticed but he targeted llamaTodd's character "Agrias Orgles" outside the house. (the one with the 300$ Omega emote) One of the better raiders & raid teachers on Crystal. No Raiders on crystal eh?
I think they should give you full control over character limit based on what you're playing on. So a 10k PC should probably be allowed to show everyone in a 5 mile radius while a ps4 should be forced to only see a few like it is now. That would be awesome for party stuff like this.
I’ve had a lot of friends start playing again on Crystal and now I can’t wait for world transfers to open up again so I can swap for moments like this 🤣
Frosty/Mogtalk hard denied KEKW I do think Esfand would enjoy himself on the podcast though, if it was something he ever wanted to do. He could do glamour, RP, FFXIV/WoW compare-contrast, anything really! He really can do it all xD
your wishes will be granted esfand, yoshi-p is planning to have ffxiv undergo a massive graphical and computational upgrade for the game engine that will officially push it out of PS3 support (sry ps3 players but it has to be done lest the game wavers into stagnation, ps4's are pretty cheap now that everyone wants a ps5) this will hopefully not only expand graphical fidelity but also expand the total rendered player limit, and add more slots for housing and glamour dresser.
Uh.... the PS3 hasn't been supported since Stormbloods release. They gave them ARR and HW because of guilt for their promises. The game is only playable on PS4/5 and PC. As for graphical fidelity. Yoshi-P has said they're looking into it, but it's not something they're immediately concerned about because of the vast scope of how much work needs to be done. They're also not changing anything engine wise and a lot of the limitations are from 1.X porting days that are nearly/or are, hardcoded spaghetti code.
Weird to find out my people in Brynhildr are big in rp. I was wondering why it's always full when I log in. Now I know. Good thing I'm S tier with my glams. Hopefully I get to see my awesome self on RUclips.
Did a bit of digging, and it seems like there's an add-on to enable them in-game. This requires a third-party program called xivlauncher, however. Which, of course, SE does not like us to use.
FF14QuickLauncher, there's a plugin there, after you use it to launch the game, to install "chatbubbles" among a lot of other useful addons. like one I really enjoy is the slidecasting addon. Which gives a little white marker on when you can start moving for slidecasting.
Funny thing is, a lot of what you just saw actually *wasn't* RP. While it certainly does exist quite a bit more in places among the data centers, a lot of the night clubs (like when Esfand visited the Primal Costume Party hosted at Teraflare) and parties and stuff you see in-game is *mostly* just people hanging out and having fun. LunarCon was no exception; most everyone there was just super-hyped to hang out around each other and cosplay...much like you would at an IRL convention. ^^

COMING
Only people concerned with fashion and RP will dedicate themselves to clearing whatever content necessary for the glamour.
There is a reason why Glamours people are at the top of the hierarchy group while mentor is at the very bottom lol
Everyone knows fashion is the true endgame smh
Yes and no. All the fashionable/modern glams that you'll find RPers wear are tradeable or craftable, so they're not clearing any content to get them.

I love your confusion about gpose XD
and yes, that thing is how pwople make all the really good screenchots

You'd get people from the other faction coming in and murdering everyone.
Yes you literally do...
tbh this was a fun night. 10/10 will go to more parties again
What a buch of degenerates in that game...
so there's a free trial, right?
+100 for the Roleplay!
chat bubble over the head is xivlauncher plugin btw
Looking at all the fun random stuff in FF14, it makes me realize how much wasted potential was wasted on Wow. Holy shit what a wake up call.
Love how he experienced the true FFXIV community and got completely overwhelmed xDDD
This FFXIV content is cool, but is cooler to see chat and esfand having fun :D
Glad to have been a part of this stream : D
