The new icon is visibly stupidier than the older one (I mean, one of them has a hole but the other three don't?), but the truth is that, unless the nouliths enter inside each other, both icons are incredibly misleading.
While it is an easy fix to a simple problem, I'm…. (deleted the rest of what I wanted to say because it's not nice and I respect Meoni).
I really don't mind the change at all. Good work Devs🙂
I do have Typophobia but not as server enough to be affected by the icon. It just wasn’t in a close enough cluster. However, I can easily see how someone can be affected as trypophobia varies a lot. I’m very happy that they are listening to the community and are trying to address the issue. And I hope this brings some awareness to this condition
Great job of the FFXIV team to actually go to these lengths for what is likely a small portion of the community. This shows their level of care and consideration is way beyond the bounds of a lot of people/companies, and I really respect them for that.
Unfortunately a lot of the people in the comment section are missing the point here or misunderstanding it.
Unpopular opinion, the new one looks WAY better. The 4 Nouleths being pointed straight in the same direction looked weird. Now it looks like they're all aiming at a center point, which lasers should be doing for the best result.
Less about the icon, more about the attention to community. <3
One part of my brain wants to start a discussion (not an argument), if making sure everyone feels comfortable and likes whatever is created is a healthy mindset to have, because you cannot make everything appeal to everyone……… but the other part of my brain just tells the first one to shut up, cause I like the newer version more anyway!
Some of these comments are fucking rude 🙄
Well what about Eulmore on the Kholosia map? Lots of holes there.
What about the mobs with eggs on their back? When they hatches, they have holes on it.
New one reminds me of that meme with the white chick and the black guys… you know the one… "Don't be lewd"-Yoshi-p
American Horror Story: Cult tease
I'm sad there are so many people found the original design triggering. I thought the original design was beautiful – it was my favorite job icon designs by far. So, yeah, I'm a bit disappointed. The original design sort of reminded me of antique skeleton keys (which I collect). That icon really felt like a piece of me was fitting into FF14. Sigh, oh well…
I have that condition to but to me it did not bother me to much. But I find my self not looking at it lol
New icon is literally unplayable.
Imo they should of just filled the original ones holes, changed the holes design to have a filled center.., or simply changed it all together..,
Since its design seems to be partially thrown out now..,
Fully agreed. Super minor, and if it was bothering people with that condition no reason not to. It's a relatively minor change in the scheme of things that just shows their care of the community more than anything.
I truly appreciate the fact the team does this for people!
"Face your fears. Let them pass through you."
But whatever, it's not important. Pretty sure not enough people would have noticed if it changed and they said anything, for it to matter.
i actually like the new icon, it is a bit more dynamic
I'm glad they changed it. I have trypophobia, and yes, the icon does in fact make me very uncomfortable. It's not something easily explained, either. The new icon keeps the spirit of it, without making those of us with trypophobia uncomfortable, which will be good going forward. It might seem small and simple to a lot, however a lot of times it IS the small and simple things that add up to an issue.
Eh if someone's trypophobia triggers with the previous icon it is a wonder how they stay calm in their everyday life
My biggest take away from this change is that the dev team listens to its players and actually cares about them
I dunno why this matters, even in-game its tiny. Guess people need something to complain about.
an interesting and very thoughtful change. I like it without the holes… looks cleaner.
Kind of wish they just got rid of all the holes in the new design, it looks awkward. The should gust have the forth needle silhouetted behind the middle top one.
I don't care that they changed it but now it just looks like some fireworks.
I honestly thought the older one was more graphically appealing; but if its a phobia thing I get it I guess. But the only thing is that i have legitimate arachnophobia, and id wager to say that's more common than trypophobia; and the 8 legged hellspawn still exist in the game and set me off (can't even do one part of the alliance raids and even stay out of some stormblood areas entirley because of it. just curious why that wasn't much of a thing raised (granted i didn't complain; i just did my best to avoid it)
Original was definitely better, sad that they had to change it.
And here I thought it was a parallel to a religious symbol,. Fear of holes… hmmm.
It’s alright I guess but the real take away here they really care about the players no matter how minor it is.
I actually did not like the original sage icon as much. However, I personally find that this is a step in the right direction, as the nouliths now appear to be orbiting in an attack formation (in a more true manner to that of what gameplay has been shown thusfar).
