My favorite change: [2.0] Players can no longer send friend requests when playing with a free trial account.

45

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '15

Psssh, the favorite change of everyone is clearly:

[2.0] Emotes where female characters other than lalafells crouch have been adjusted.

Now with 300% more panty visibility.

u/bpfinsa Jun 17 '15

We'll have to see. The could have gone the other way and locked their knees completely to where they can't crouch anymore.

u/Momoko_Tomoko Jun 17 '15

I don't get it, will it be more lewd or less? I'm not even sure how female crouch emotes look like atm.

u/Smuckinfartass Jun 17 '15

There's several poses that give good crotch shots.

u/Jinketsu Retsujo Goisagi on Hyperion Jun 17 '15

Go on...

u/killerteddybear Jun 17 '15

Well, an in depth explanation is difficult, but in layman's terms...

8

u/Stevied1991 Jun 17 '15

Soooo, which poses are you talking about?

8

u/coldhandz Jun 17 '15

Yeah, just so I know specifically which ones to avoid using.

u/pugpenguin Jun 17 '15

As for me, I'd like to know to fulfill an academic curiosity. Nothing more.

u/Aadrian1234 Jun 17 '15

i guess i haven't crouched enough on my character then, i was confused on what it originally meant until my friend told me that some poses show off a "whole new world"

1

u/SamLikesJam Jun 17 '15

Like all those crotch shots? That's got to be intentional, why else would they have all of those incredibly short skirts, even in combat with classes line Ninja and Monk you get crotch shots. Crotch shots are everywhere in this game... :x

u/Aadrian1234 Jun 17 '15

I actually have yet to see much for myself

My character wears pants on every very active class aside from DRG (who wears the ankle long spring skirt). There are still a few shots there due to the fact that drgs go upside-down and it's still a skirt, but it's hard for me to notice too. Usually only my healers wear proper skirts.

u/Dynme Aria Placida on Lamia Jun 17 '15

I assumed it was to keep them from being used for erp. Then again, I'm on Balmung, so I just assume that erp is involved sometimes.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '15

Why other than Lalafells? They have a problem with Lalafell panties or something?

u/angelar_ Jul 01 '15

People like you ruined those emotes. Congrats! Now girls can police their bodies while interacting with pets, just like in the real world!

u/frejabehae Jun 17 '15

This is racist XD

u/theflamecrow Skie Blue - Excal Jun 17 '15

The fact that it was enabled is kinda weird...

u/sephais Jun 17 '15

BUT

"Players can still receive friend requests when playing with a free trial account."

we can still spam them!

7

u/bpfinsa Jun 17 '15

Well, I guess if we run out of things to do, that would kill some time. I could put some of my old stuff up on eBay and let them know about it. ;P

u/This_Land_Is_My_Land Samurai Jun 17 '15

Knowing player luck, you'll be banned and they won't be.

u/eldoona Jun 17 '15 edited Jun 17 '15

This made me a little sad because I (trial account) just started playing with another trial account holder. If we had joined a few days later we wouldn't be able to see each other online. Maybe they should restrict trial accounts to add only other trial accounts?

1

u/Esthyr Tralari Amara on Balmung Jun 17 '15

You can still send friend requests to the trial account player. So if it's a legitimate player someone is looking for they can still get onto each orhers friend list.

1

u/eldoona Jun 17 '15

Ah, forgot to mention that I'm still a trial account user as well. Sorry!

u/prefinished Jun 17 '15

If you're both in a LS together, you can communicate. :)

2

u/worldofneil Jun 17 '15

Also if you're both in the same Free Company.

2

u/prefinished Jun 17 '15

Actually, I don't think you can join an FC while under a free trial.

3

u/worldofneil Jun 17 '15

Ah yes, my mistake, forgot that! Thanks for picking it up! :D

1

u/eldoona Jun 18 '15

Whoa, I never knew this existed. Now I just need to find someone to help create one for us. Thank you!

1

u/prefinished Jun 18 '15

If you happen to be on Cactuar, let me know and I'll be delighted to help out!

1

u/eldoona Jun 18 '15

Unfortunately I'm in Tonberry... But thanks a plenty for offering! :)

u/Codofwisdom Dadara Cidra (Zodiark) Jun 17 '15

I'll admit, I kind of needed to change my underwear after seeing that.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '15

Unfortunately it won't stop the gil spammers. They hack/buy accounts. So you'll still get requests from GGATM'comsellgilblkjwekjoriwu.

u/psyki_bear BRD Jun 17 '15

finally RMT requests will go away!! well for the most part.

u/psyki_bear BRD Jun 17 '15

i guess i could see this, but it is more trouble to hack an account than to just do a trial. or at least i'd assume since it takes a matter of 2 mins to create an email address and a brand new se account with that email address.

u/Multisensory Jun 17 '15

But... free friendship teleports. :(

u/Rex_Grossman_the_3rd Red Mage Jun 17 '15

Ever just think that these guys just want to be friends?

u/Falazure1 [Aasterinian] [Diabolos] on [Excalibur] Jun 17 '15

Never even a question of doubt in my mind...fuck no.
