It's just True Blue and Strife gear e: and Anemos Expeditionary Boots, but it is glammed over actual mage gear. Also, I just learned to use gpose.

I keep telling myself to start going through gshade to start learning what presets I like and work well with what I want to do but that's basically like saying "go check every book in the library to see if it's something you want to read"

I want to get into fashion photography, the true endgame, but it's intimidatingly large as a topic

Gshade is worth downloading if only to up the saturation in this game a little bit. Everything is so washed out by default. You don't need to go overboard into cartoon land but even the slightest semblance of color improves FFXIV a lot, and certainly not just for taking screenshots.

Everyone should make sure they check their gamma and crank it to 0. It starts a baffling 50.

Yeah, sorry, no, I like being able to see things.

I tried it. My character became an undifferentiated blob of black. I put it back to 60, where I had it before.

Fix your monitor then. If cranking that to 0 makes your character look like a "blob of black" then that's a you problem. Might as well just bleach your screen running it at 60.

It's definitely a me problem, because I don't have the budget to run a monitor that can crank out 1000 lumens like yours apparently can to make out useful detail at 0 gamma.

Honestly that sounds like you have to change the configs on something else or you have a bigger problem, I used to use a loving old TV as my monitor and I could disable gamma correction without turning my character vantablack. Maybe increasing character lightning?

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
Half the options in any given config menu are obviously traps where the developers added them solely so they could be set wrong as a default, and only True Gamers are provided access to the proper experience.

EDIT: Also, thanks for the reminder about GARO and PSO2 Odin, and the new info on Chocobo Mystery Dungeon; of those three, GARO I probably would've realized I was missing pretty quick, but I wouldn't have realized the others until it was way too late.

How to use gshade, by A Lazy Idiot:

Activate any number of Adaptive Sharpening, Clarity 1, Clarity 2, Curves, Extended Levels, DepthHaze, FastSharpening.

Curves and Extended Levels do a lot of work for lighting effects and EL can often be a bit much and make things look too dark but you get the idea using at least 1 lets you start playing with cool shadows/lighting, DepthHaze blurs distant background FoV, the rest are just buttons I click by default to make textures look nicer. Obviously there is more to this you can experiment with but I assume most people trying gshade just want to press button, get better character model clarity! You can use as many or as few things with Sharpening in the name as you want.

someone please help me layout my MNK cross-hotbar in a way that doesn't confuse my fingers & thumbs so goddamn bad when switching between the two combos except for loving Demolish and Snap



maybe this is finally a call for me to use a certain illegal third party tool i have now learned to my mild dismay that said tool doesn't support mnk. which i guess makes sense

Monk is like the one job XIVCombo doesn't help with since the combo system for them actually requires decision making rather than it being a static chain.

EDIT: Gamer Chair Edition seems to have some stuff for MNK but as i don't play that job i don't know how much it would help https://github.com/lushc/XIVComboPluginProEsportsGamerChairEdition

Away from my PS atm, but dragon kick on R2 square, twin snakes on R2 triangle, snap on R2+L2 square. Bootshine on R2 x, true strike on R2 circle, demolish on R2+L2 X. Chakra button on R2+L2 Triangle. AoE on double tap R2.

i like the idea of using R2L2 and L2R2, but those've been shared actions (sprint, lb, mount, what have you) for multiple expansions now

that said maybe i can pare that down to L2R2 and use the other one for classes...
nope, both are on one hotbar, i forgot. i wonder if those can go somewhere else

"turn this setting all the way from 50 to 0 or you suck and your monitor sucks" is not useful advice
