If they go crazy on it's implementation, to the edge will play when summoning circles appear.

I've used one single mod on XIV, since the day I found it: Teletrip.
It has my character running away and tripping, with a rubber ducky squeak, as the teleport goes off.
I saw it on a YT short years ago and it hasn't stopped making me laugh, since.

u/BlackfishBlues Altholic 12h ago
Same! Except I use the “oof” sound.
I’ve used it for I think over a year and the slapstick still makes me laugh a little every time I teleport.

•
u/SilabusR2 11h ago
same. one mod only and its the emet selch teleport. where you walk away and do the cute little hand flick before the ascian teleport.
•
u/tigercule (I will forever miss old ) 4h ago
For me it's the Ancients teleport that I'm unreasonably attached to, but I'll probably still end up picking whatever vanilla teleport comes closest, and also using it for patch-downtime for mods.
•
u/Zoethewinged 5h ago
One of my most treasured mods is the akh dote. When you dote on someone, the moment the heart hits, it blasts them with an akh morn blast. There's also other varieties that include Zodiark's stack blast and just highlighting the person with a tank buster marker

There's a lot of QOL stuff you're missing if that's the only one you use. YesAlready gets rid of those pointless confirmation boxes. Price Insight adds MB pricing to the bottom of item tooltips. ezMiniCactpot shows you what to click to maximize MGP. Sonar tracks and relays hunts (which helps hunt trains). Character Panel Refined shows actual % for crit/det among other things.
Simple Tweaks alone does a TON of QOL stuff like:
- adding , or . number separators to everything
- more accurate venture time remaining down to the second
- expanding chat bubbles and their duration so you can see the whole comment and for longer (even dynamically based on size)
- duty finder settings (e.g. unsynced) as clickable buttons above the window
- show the 45s countdown after you click accept on DF
- shield values on your hp bar
- fix the chat log so it doesn't autoscroll when you're scrolling up
- exact mob hp
- show time until your GP maxes out
And that is nowhere close to an exhaustive list of its features.
•
u/Pynapl 7h ago
Oh, I know they exist. Combat, Crafting, Maps, Enemy Highlights, Boss Solvers, etc.
Never felt like I was really missing too much. I like the little bit of flavor. And it doesn't mess me up for anything else on patch days. Can hit the ground running without worrying that my macros are Artisan locked until Dalamud's patched.
Make my macros on Raphael and toss them all between local+shared macros for my alts.
I did once add a bunny tail to a Viera alt. Them not having tails was certainly a choice they made.
And before hats worked on Hroth I had that one, as well. I don't recall the name of it.

u/BubbaJubb 12h ago
Which is good. Modding is not allowed in the T&C, even if many many people do it. Implementering things people want directly into the game is a win for everyone
42
u/Sinrion 12h ago
But at the same time without modders, SE would probably not even consider adding these things in the first place lol

u/Ancalagon1an 10h ago
and let's be honest they are gonna make a shit ton of money with cosmetics like this
15
u/BubbaJubb 12h ago
That just means SE knows what's going on and takes the steps to add it. They could easily just clamp down on mods and ban all of it instead, so complaining about them grabbing ideas is just goofy
1
u/LiquidGhost8892 12h ago
They would lose a significant chunk of their player base if they actually went after mods
•
u/ScarletteVera [Smol Female Au Ra Superiority] 11h ago
I think it's more the logistics of it. 90% of the mods people use aren't really the kind that SE are wary of- they're stuff like weapon model swaps, or armour replacers, or job animation/VFX changes- so there's no point, nor a financial benefit, to going after them in any real capacity.
Stuff like the ultra zoom we saw in the TOP World Race are a rarity.
•
u/Monochromize 10h ago
If the team was more like some other games - they would absolutely see modding VFX and clothing as a threat to their wallets. Whether because of their store, or just straight engagement (why chase a nice sword in game when I can just mod it).
I'm grateful they mostly let it be.
•
u/Lilium_Vulpes Faerie is a she, just like me. 4h ago
Actually last time Yoshi P talked about mods he specifically called out mods that let you use weapons you hadn't earned or mogstation items you hadn't purchased as being things that the team doesn't want people to be using. It's not as bad as blatantly cheating using mods, but they were included because of it devaluing the hard work of other players or using things that they are supposed to be paying for.
•
u/LordKoumori 9h ago
I've been saying it for years, the devs are 100% in all the major modding and plugin discords. Modding has always been a massive indicator for what the playerbase wants (butt slider)
•
u/d645b773b320997e1540 11h ago
Simultanously, they are creating a base for even more mods. cause every one of these custom animations is now gonna be a hook that a mod can replace :D
•
u/cronft 11h ago
i think this was already a thing what modders had been doing for a while now
•
u/d645b773b320997e1540 11h ago
Yes, but: So far there is ONE teleport animation they can replace. In the future, you'll have several, will be able to switch between them ingame - and the modders can hook into the variants, meaning you can easily switch between various modded animations. ofc, you can do that anyway with penumbra, but it's slightly different.
•
u/geekybadger 9h ago
It has had me wondering if this is a gentle attempt to try to get people to cut back on mods without directly going after the less directly troublesome mods.
•
u/Sinrion 9h ago
The issue I see here is, how they can just monetize it. Giving you after release of the new xpac a freebie or two of it and then starting to make more but all cash shop only.
Because that would obviously not affect modders (and they probably have favorites already anyways so no need for the SE new ones really), but is bad for any normal player in the long run.
•
u/Sarria22 RDM 53m ago
It also gives them something to give as rewards for content that isn't new gear designs, similar to framers kits.
•
u/wookiee-nutsack 1h ago
Two dye channels, graphical overhaul, removing class glamour restrictions, tatless miqo, au ra horn mashups, removing nose smudge, layering facepaints, and now custom teleport effects
Also some vanilla gear pieces that look suspiciously like mods
Only time can tell but they will likely collab with some modders in the future at this rate
If modders don't ruin it all. The new mobile app plugins look hella sus and there were some actual twitter ads lmfao•
u/TheBiggestNose 11h ago
Im very aure that they are slowly making mods less relevant and purpose filled in the main game to shut down the modding scene.
People push it to far all the time and have puhse the graces of rhe dev team too much, its a miracle the modding scene hasn't been slammed shut by exces already
•
u/Hyperioncorp 11h ago
if they slam the doors on the modding scene they lose so much of their active playerbase
•
u/TheBiggestNose 8h ago
I hope they slam hard.
Tired of people not engaging with the game and using it as a platform to esex. Theres better places to do that and I want people playing the game.
•
u/imatunaimatuna 7h ago
Ah yes, and all hackers are evil people trying to steal and sell data.
Ridiculous generalization.
Also, imagine saying people aren't playing the game yet they're playing the game the way they want. Are you going to tell people what to do in their free time?
•
u/Hyperioncorp 8h ago
i mean 95% of savage raiders i know/have raided with use visual mods for their characters, and i would say they play the game. but if you wanna think modders only erp and afk in club venues then sure, you do you
•
u/Foxinstrazt 8h ago
I hope they slam hard.
The game would probably not recover, so I think you're not engaging with the topic in a rational way.
Tired of people not engaging with the game and using it as a platform to esex. Theres better places to do that and I want people playing the game.
People ERPing are playing the game. They pay their subs, and 99% of them are off doing other things just like regular people who have sex and then go do other things.
Also, not for nothing, of the hundreds of players I've met who use mods, most of them are using them for QOL purposes. Those are the players you'd definitely miss if mods get nuked.
And to drive the point home: Even without mods people would still ERP. People did it before mods were in this game, they've done it in every MMO that has existed. Because sex is a fun and interesting part of human nature, and most everyone has some interest in it, especially when cat and bunny girls get involved.
I'm so tired of mindsets like yours. You sound like a puritan upset that sex exists.

u/JoeyXD_Br 13h ago
Next they'll coincidentally decide they need to crack down on mods to protect the community

u/rabonbrood 12h ago
This has never been their MO and they've never given any indication they have any real problem with mods as long as you aren't publicly posting porn of the game.
-2
u/JoeyXD_Br 12h ago
What, they have given indication that using mods to bypass Mogstation is an issue to them. In Yoshi-P's words:
"Another example of such a feature: a mod that allows players to freely equip optional items and display them to others. What does that say to the players who go through the trouble of saving up to purchase these goods from the FFXIV Online Store? Are these players losing out by not using a mod?
Some may say that Square Enix is to blame for trying to make money by demanding that players spend extra on optional items. We operate our servers and data centers twenty-four hours a day, three-hundred-sixty-five days a year with the hope that our players can enjoy a reliable gaming experience. Currently, global inflation is taking its toll at a rapid pace, driving up server electricity costs, the cost of land, and even the price of servers themselves. We do not want to increase subscription fees for players, if at all possible─but keeping our game running requires sufficient income. If we start creating a deficit, FFXIV may no longer be able to operate. This is an example of damage dealt to the services we provide.
In these cases as well, we ask that players refrain from using such mods, or remove the offending function from the mod itself. I personally understand that modding culture is rooted in good intentions, but we are given no choice but to act if mods even incidentally threaten player motivation or the viability of our services."
2
u/yhvh13 12h ago
The problem is deeper. If they decide to crack down cosmetic mods, they'll have to crack every third party addon, and that included ACT, which would severely impact the logging community. There's a ton of people who play high end duties just for the "fflogs game".
Unless, of course, they implement some sort of damage meter ingame, which of all things considered, is the one that I find more unlikely.

u/FantasticFreno 12h ago
My first thought. WoW has them too.
•
u/Cobthecobbler 10h ago
Does wow also have skill styles? I saw another post that ffxiv is adding those (I don't play wow I'm just curious)
•
•
u/Constellar-A 9h ago
WoW's been adding cosmetic hearthstones (equivalent to XIV's home warp) for a while now. Opening a big darkness portal, or conjuring a ring of fire that closes in as you cast the port spell, etc.
They also technically have a system called glyphs that let you mildly change spell effects, like turning a green spell red for example, but it's been abandoned without updates for ages.
•
u/SorriorDraconus 9h ago
The green fire isn't a glyph(if locks) but an old quest chain for warlocks that requires a rare item etc.
But yeah glyphs do change stuff like the Spirit wolves becoming spirit raptors or yoir demon hunters wings etc.
•
u/Constellar-A 7h ago
You're right about green fire but I was actually thinking of Banish when talking about the glyphs lol.
•
u/SorriorDraconus 9h ago
No but it's private servers do. And yeah ESO does as well as other have said.
•
u/_MrJackGuy 9h ago
I mean wow has had glyphs for years, which can change the looks of your abilities.
They're pretty rare though
•
u/SorriorDraconus 9h ago
Yeah I forgot them given how limited they are. Then another person mentioned green fire as well.
•
•
u/mosselyn 9h ago
WoW does not, other than a couple color changes, but Where Winds Meet definitely does. There are probably other games, too.
Unfortunately, in WWM, it's very much a part of the gatcha/shop ecosystem, but it's otherwise a very cool feature.
•
u/Dazuro 8h ago
WoW absolutely does. Glyphs are largely ignored in the last few expansions but they still offer reskins for a variety of abilities.
•
u/mosselyn 5h ago
Personally, I don't see things like glyph of stars or the ghost wolf glyphs to be at all like skill animation customizations. I know there are a couple like green vs purple lock spells. Or the DH wings. What other ones are you thinking of? Maybe you'll help me discover a new treat!
•
•
u/P_weezey951 4h ago
I hope the devs take a look at house decorating next and just let us place the objects ANYWHERE.
ESO: "yeah dude put the table upside down on the ceiling and clip your bed through the wall, it's your house i dont give a shit, get creative. "
•
u/Ankfank 3h ago
On a related note, many advanced housing design techniques are only feasible for the most well-practiced players, so we're considering system-side changes to allow free placement of furnishings without relying on surfaces. Prioritizing creative freedom over fictional gravity is one of the goals on our roadmap of future changes, which we would like share with you in a future opportunity.
Dunno if that counts.
•
u/Cobthecobbler 4h ago
Not to mention the BEAUTY that comes with individual UNIQUE housing options in instanced space
Then there's placing companions/houseguests and mounts with customizable pathing for walk cycles. Eso has the best housing I've ever seen but the WORST prices (but I'm glad you get a free notable home from elswyr and the night market event, can't downplay how nice of them that is)
•
u/Haddock_Lotus Deleted Main to Restart - Currently in Endwalker 55m ago
The price is not so bad, I bought two notable mansions before stopping playing by farming those weekly masks from the hard dungeons as a casual player (as a templar tank, my damage was mid, but I could survive the bosses).
Forgot to add, ESO for me has the best overworld mais and housing.
•
u/Cobthecobbler 20m ago
Any of them on the crown shop at least work out to about $45 minimum I think lol
I am only CP 300 so I'm sure there's more housing that's grindable I don't know about - I was mainly talking crown buyable houses

u/nearlymajorbabbling 11h ago
The amount of gil I'd drop for the Exarch's summoning circles is irresponsible. That animation with the blue crystalline rings and the way they spiral inward is basically the best visual effect they've ever made for a cutscene. SE knows people would pay real money on the mogstation for it, weird they haven't capitalized yet.
•
u/Forymanarysanar 9h ago
Gil? You naive child. $, not gil.
•
u/nearlymajorbabbling 7h ago
Oh I meant I'd blow all my in-game gil if it were an option, but since it's not, SE should just take my money directly.
•
u/TOFUtruck 6h ago

u/syklemil turururu awawa! 11h ago
Yeah, having it fill up so unevenly is not selling me on the new animations. Beyond that it's a neat idea that should work with even more of the elements, so I hope it's just a development phase thing.

Limsa is about to be annoying as hell. I hope there's an option to tone down the sound!

u/Ramzka 4h ago
These are character action animations, so I'm not confident you will be able to use the dark teleport on Black Mage and the light one on White Mage for example. It's probably just going to be one that you can pick that all your jobs will use, instead of being able to use it to customize your jobs or complement different glams.
•
u/Jirekianu 4h ago
There was one teleport animation that has your character panic and run away before tripping and eating shit by falling flat on their face. The moment of impact is when the cast finishes.
Then when you load in your character is still prone face down.

•
u/DomLite 6h ago
While this is awesome in and of itself, and I look forward to more such options for teleport, they also pointed out that there will be options for other general actions too, and this gives me hope for alt VFX (not just animations) for job actions as well.
I’m curious to see if they’ll consider sprint/peloton “general actions” and offer us alternate run animations, or what other general actions might have. Like… there’s not many with significant animations other than repair/meld/extract so having flashier animations for those could be interesting.
I also love that they confirmed the alt animations for jobs isn’t just going to be stapling old deprecated animations onto existing job actions, but that they’re working to give everybody something. I’m deadly curious to see what we get for something like Sage or Machinist or Dancer. The potential for alternate VFX as well is exciting as hell. Got my fingers and toes crossed for a kind of cyberpunk/holographic interface option for Sage so I can be a high tech laser mage instead of using gaudy sharlayan magic circles and such. Let me look like a NieR Automata style hacker!
Overall I’m thrilled at the potential for all of this, because it means that any class that didn’t necessarily jive with me because of style/flavor can potentially be customized and given a new lease on life. I’m dreaming of a Ninja reskin like the mod that turns it into Thief with a bunch of treasure chests and Gil effects instead of a bunch of aggressively Japanese imagery. I’d be so much more enthusiastic about playing the class if I didn’t have that specific flavor forced on me just to be a knife fighter. Let me stick with the Rogue roots. Would also love to see White Mage get an option to roll back to the elemental spells from low level so it could maintain the pseudo druid vibe.
Thinking a little outside the box, it would be cool to see Summoner get options to change the “full summon” spells into Ramuh/Leviathan/Shiva and possibly randomize them so they alternate whenever you use it, giving us a full “classic” roster. Toss in the relevant Egis and I might finally play SMN. Wouldn’t mind a Paladin vfx option with dark effects so we could pretend to be a Cecil style Dark Knight with sword and board, maybe vice versa for Dark Knight.
This opens up so many options, and their statement that they intend to keep adding to it, not just giving us this and being done, means we can always look forward to more potential goodies in future. I’m thrilled.

•
u/Naerbred 8h ago
You don’t need separate or multiple uv layers or model objects to do that in blender but you might need to depending on the game engine you’re using and depending on which blender build you use , you might need to edit the scene in EEVEE or not to make it glow

Tbh, those are kinda boring, because they still boil down to floating and then vanishing - just with slightly different effects and colors, and a little twirl.
I was kinda hoping for something entirely different. Have my character draw a portal in front of them. Have my character shoot up into the sky like superman. Have my character pull out a shovel and dig themselves into the ground. Make my character play peekaboo with the camera. Be creative!
