FFXIV Random Speculation/Question thread VI: Phase 3, FFXIV is still on the rag!

It's the website.

Can you not alt-tab out of FFXIV? What the shit SE, get your shit together. Can't even open task manager either. Just flat out crashes.

Same as FFXI pre-windowed mode

Windowing it at full resolution helps with that, though I forget the details about getting rid of the window's borders.

I don't believe the fatigue/dormancy shit at all. That would be one of the worst business strategies ever. If anything like that concept were to exist, it would be a bonus to those who play less, not the other way around. For example: Cave Conservation points. Someone might throw FFXI's "Fishing/Digging fatigue" out there but that was implemented specifically to combat RMT.

I still have several keyboards with the windows keys ripped out. Those were the days!

Well, it's a good thing people don't believe everything they read on the internet without any sources.

Knowing Square-Enix, even if it is minor trolling. I'd believe it in a heartbeat.

[miokomioko]

I've heard the exact same bullshit rumors about some big WoW update a long time ago. People with nothing better to do, and here we are talking about them.

Wasn't there talk a while ago about how you could customize just about everything on your character, including bust sizes?

[miokomioko]

Some early peek at character creation from some lame "journalists" said something about a Bust Size adjustment... which is bullshit. There's some variation of boob size somewhere in the character creation, but it's a vague "features" adjustment which is in no way a simple slider and it actually changes multiple other things like neck/chin/cheeks, I believe.

[Johndile]

Thought bust size was tied to the face chosen?

[omegaB]

actually its connected to the face type, and different races have different possibilities, as of now, mi quiote have no option that changes their boob size. human chooses from like a cup to maybe full B. Elvann can choos the largest boobs, but they only have two choices.

Should have just made it an option, but i suppose having that option and so little else would seem wrong

honestly should have had more body option changes from the start

[miokomioko]

That's what it was then, I wasn't 100% certain. I just knew it was tied to something else and wasn't actually "adjustable" without screwing with other features you might not want to change. It was a dumb overstatement and exaggeration when "TIT SIZE SLIDER" started being thrown around.

I'm already facepalming because some Polish websites are posting the same info now as if it was from S-E or whatever...

This is exactly why SE should of stated in detail about this system when it was first mentioned, bad press is bad especially for a company trying to redeem themselves in the MMO world. The truth is no one but SE really knows what fatigue will be like in retail but I think most of us FFXI vets know by now to not put anything past SE when it comes down to cockblocking.
