Re: Mawr XIV info - Clans & Passive/Active Mode

you know this CONFIRMS there are 10 races instead of 5! =0.0=

The 10 Tribes Of Final Fantasy XIV - Oh Look, Dark Elves! - Final Fantasy XIV - Kotaku

10 tribes... and 5 races. Little different...as I don't wanna see lizard people in my party. Too much RL Fear and Loathing for me to accept that.

... wish I could view the images from that site.

Those images are the same ones in this topic, in the links in the OP, on Famitsu, BG and all of them were taken from the JP site, which is also linked at the top.

This is........SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!! 0.0

Wow those are in-game models????? Their art style and creativity is beyond the stars!!!!!!!! =0.0=

But ya that Elezen on the right for some reason reminded me of Avatar at first glance. but if you compare the two, they don't look alike. xD

Really kewl hairstyles here and there too!!!!!!!

Creativity? They're the same races as FFXI with a few customization options that totally should've been in FFXI. =/ When you post, a taru taru's tree falls down.

Re: Mawr XIV info - Clans & Passive/Active Mode

they are not the exact same. the artstyle and how the races are presented are a totally different flavor.
FFXI didn't invent humans, elvaans, or mithra. Those elves, people and cat people concepts have been around for
ages in all forms. And Lalafell look totally different from Tarutarus. Saying they are the same is like saying
halflings and dwarves are the same. as for the galka/roes, roes don't have tails, and quite different physically.


even if FFXI was PC only without memory restrictions, these customization features wouldn't appear on XI, because
it took them about 7-8 years to learn from FFXI, their first big budget mmorpg, and make things better for their FFXIV world.
The art direction is totally new too, so we can partially thank the art director for the visual differences and improvements too!

That Hyur chick with the Elvis hair is hooooot. She can rock my jailhouse any time.

Also, first one to reserve the name Armstrong as a Highlander wins.

Re: Mawr XIV info - Clans & Passive/Active Mode

Anyone else notice that the Miqo'te actually have cat eyes this time around? LOVE the booted night kitty ZOMG booted kitties (black fur w/white tips. Her tail is black with a white fully tip! ^^) The sunseeker also had multi-colored eyes, 1 green 1 blue.


Hoping you can adjust the tones more than that though. I find girls with pale skin to be rather sexy, but...well there's light pigmentation, and then there's zombie grey which is what I'm seeing here. Seriously they look more like a corpse than someone who hasn't seen very much sunlight.

Yes

Also, I love the small detail changes to the eyes between the two Mi'quote races and the two Lalafell races. The sun followers have that more "feline in the light" slitted pupil while the moon dwellers have a much rounder pupil, like a cat in the dark. While the desert lalafell have what look like glazed over pupils due to an extra natural lens over their eyes compared to the plain's lalafell's much more pronounced pupils.

....err, the moon cat has sandles. The sun follower has boots.

We've already known for a long time we'll be able to choose multiple different skin colors per tribe. There was even that one pic with 8 hume chicks and each one was a different color. Even their undergarments change color depending on which you pick.

...the art style is pretty much exactly the same. Only now they're in HD instead of crappy 2001 graphics. Most races are pretty much the same with some minor changes. The biggest changes were done to Taru (less toddler like, more pre-teen like), while Galka received more real world proportions. Halflings and Dwarves were never the same, but Galka and Rogedewhatsist, Elvaan and Elezan, Mithra and Mi'quote and Humes and Hyurans are pretty much the same.

I typically don't bother with XIV threads but I felt compelled to post this:


I absolutely love this hairstyle. The clothing is very nice, too.

Re: Mawr XIV info - Clans & Passive/Active Mode

the Shaders to me don't look like they have zombie skin. It just gives them more of a cold/ice feel to their skin tone, kind of like Shiva, but not blue.
