If you're not hanging around Limsa wearing smallclothes then it's incredibly unlikely that someone has a mod installed which makes you look naked.

And in other faffing about news, I was doing sidequests to level some of my lower classes, and one of the attendants at Bronze Lake said a goldsmith needed salamander oil. I immediately got a sinking feeling.



That quest was my introduction to Godbert and I thought he was just some one-off NPC. Imagine my surprise later.

I still wear the ring you get from this quest line on almost all my glams (even if gloves hide it). I love it.

You would be shocked at how much grousing there is here about solo duties!

I think my favorite aspect of the story of Shadowbringer is how meaningful all the supporting cast and even townsfolk npcs are to the story. In a tale of abject despair and trying to restore hope to the world the game unflinchingly hits you with pitch perfect story beats about inspiring others and them helping you, and seeing the Scions have agency and competency is a league ahead of what most other games in the same genre do, let alone what I've seen in the JRPG/RPG genres and even Square's previous works. It feels really good. If this was a single player FF it'd have one of my top three casts.

"The light of her legacy..." Yo, why are my eyes wet again and why is this catboy so good?

Honestly a busy as hell place like Limsa is the kind of area I'd turn off mods because it becomes a mess of bad textures and bodies not even showing up, and clothing being out of wack and general graphics glitches. Modding clothing and models is really only good for your own personal use or friends you have in gpose. Big groups of people like that tend to be too messy to keep them on

Probably not. The more popular poser tools have functions that let load in appearances and glams without changing out fits on the server side. It's how modders do things like screenshots of all the scions at the beach or the like.

What I'm saying is anyone and everyone could he nude on their side at any time.

Yeah my mods are 100% “I want better freckles and sharp teeth and MORE SCALES and body scars and the ability to wear the npc yukata and upscaled textures”.

And honestly that’s most people who use mods unless they are trying to take sexy screenshots.

Imagine the 3D models getting glitched like the mole rats in Fallout 3. Sometimes when they died they would suddenly stretch out and then flap around while making noises. Nonstop.

Now apply that to dozens of glitched dongs about 20 feet fulms long flapping around Limsa's Aetheryte...

the problem with dong mods within the context of ffxiv isn't that u got people staring at ur dong, its that there's enough crystals on the market board, mere inches from the aetheryte, that the dong modders run a very real risk of summoning a dong primal

You said fracture instead of fraction. Fracture is a long long since deleted warrior skill which is a bit of a running joke.

I got my brother to give this game a shot. On day one he asked if it was all just walking around with bad controls. Day 5 or so he is asking which version of the game to buy to get off the trial. :getin:

I'm sure there's a bunch more, but I don't care about my dps

e: people will try and make you feel bad for using them, but it's an MMO, we all don't have 1,000 hours to play a game and everyone else is using them anyway.

People aren't wrong if they give you poo poo about actually cheating, but like .01% of mods give you an actual advantage so that probably isn't relevant. Unless you're one of the loving moron devs who thinks using a jukebox plugin is 'cheating', in which case who cares what they think anyway.

Forgive the Prae lighting and dialog, but I'm doing this during Prae.

The reason I use body mods is for the body scars I have that require them.
