Allagan tech look biomechanical, and it wasnt uncommon that they used aetherochemistry. Early Garlean designs continued this trend or looked like FF6 and grew more industrial as the war went on. S9 skipped steps in the tech tree, their knightly preferences should inform the electrope aesthetic more

Was talking with the Baldesion discord, DT aesthetics came up. It made me think though, warmachina have always been a thing in XIV, but I wish S9 had brought more medieval into it. Allagan/Eikon aesthetic is Escaflowne, Garlean stuff is Industrial ACs, S9 should have been knightly gundams

WIP "Inheritor" set. I ended up not using any powersuit stuff, at least not yet.

If only we had an esoteric ancient people, a progenitor kind, greater than us and yet just as flawed. A people who left the world to us, with a player character as their chosen successor for the forerunner parallel.๐Ÿค”

Buddy Tank (BT) asked for the ability to grab things so I gave him one of the hands from the gravity alts of the vacuum suit.

== Archaic Shadow Goggles ==

A simple headpiece of some night vision goggles inspired by Splinter Cell. I'm playing around with a matching suit inspired by Metal Gear, but this one is compatible with all races/gender whereas that might not be, so it made sense to separate them.

I also like making my engagement with the community diegetic. A mod author helped me out? They were a fellow engineer on this new machine. I make a vfx for a modded gun? Collaboration between machinist forges. It especially feels fitting given the cosmic initiative is a collaboration between nations

Exact details need revision sometimes, like hemomancy being corrupted white magic isnt viable lore, but there's more than a few enemies who do "blood magic" at this point. The setting has like 3 kinds of vampires that all aren't fleshed out well, so you kinda have to fill in the gaps.

Goes for my work as well, but I strive for the 2-5 range. My aim is for it to feel plausible in the setting of [recent expansion], either in expanding underexplored aspects like necromancy or in something that could be happening off screen like the Nova Legion conflict and the Palisade Arsenal

I've had an idea bouncing around in my head for ages more than a little inspired by your sphene animation, I've been trying to level up my gpose/video editing game partially for it. Human flaws and the vulnerability of learning are more welcome now than ever, I would say.

An exhausted Elijah fends off a horde of Nova Legion zombies while enshrouded with Mortaeus. Blindsided and lacking his usual equipment, they utilize Palisade weaponry to fend off the horde. They take a moment to catch their breath while the pack is caught on a choke-point.

You think lalafells would be good at stealth missions because theres less "body" to notice?

Maybe I do need to get on heliosphere, I make way too many stupid mistakes that I don't notice until hours later. Like not noticing the entire armor files didnt get added because I had them in textools for testing purposes and evidently forgot to click save when I made the modpack. Oops lol.

Updated Void Jumper to 1.2! Pushed out an update yesterday but it was limited since I couldn't test without glamourer.

Fixed that weird ammo pouch strap glitch, it didn't used to do that but its fixed now. Also made those crunchy bolts blend better.

Remade the gloves as well.

Yessss you can dye the glow part

If you told me my fav content in DT would have been cosmic exploration idk if I would have believed you. But as a kid I watched so many speculative exo-planet documentaries, I wanted to be an astronaut. Such a love letter that embraces the fantastical about it all.

Hoping the new sets play nice with my desire of making mecha nobility mashups to match the inspiration. In the meantime though I'm going to play around with orbital boarding armored plugsuit vibes. Also adjusted the helmet geometry a bit.

If we ever got something recognizably "modern" I'd want it to be FF'ed like the cryptlurker pistol or FF7, but it's funny to think that's less of a truncation than 19th century rapiers in ishgards late gothic era aesthetic. The world wars played a big role in gun tech developing that much of course.

One of the goofier thought experiments towards XIV lore I have: an OC on the first could get access to an actual literal earth AK through obsolete resistance android gear. Even without neir, it was invented by one guy within a lifetime of novrandts pistol tech which is turn of the century 20th.

Thank you for the first party fur collar on a futuristic naval coat set, the Mecha 18th century nobility aesthetic is always the best.

Alas no polls on blusky, but if you like my little lore blurbs in my mods, I'm brainstorming for a totally hypothetical future project with a model that may or may not be being made by Nagunk.

It may affect vfx so always good to have an idea going into stuff. Polls on the youtube.
