It’s a fascinating way to show how little Solution-9 cares about its past and how in the here and now with no thought of the future. This could be seen in the latest patch in my opinion. But yeah! Those are my thoughts #ffxiv #naomirants

Mascot-It’s a mascot. Mascots can’t die

Graffiti-The most art-forward piece we see, mostly in True Vue the “bad” part of Solution-9. However, graffiti is meant to be washed away. Especially in the style they’ve shown, which is quick strokes, and mostly of mascots and monsters. 🧵 #ffxiv #naomirants

The deeper emotions that typically get poured into artwork is gone, and its shown so well in what we see

Marketing—The purpose of marketing is obviously to get people to buy something. It doesn’t matter if the model dies; the purpose is to show off the clothes, makeup, etc. 🧵 #ffxiv #naomirants

How can you do a portrait of someone if you don’t remember who they are? How can you paint a landscape that reminds you of the good times, if those good times get erased when the person dies? 🧵 #ffxiv #naomirants

I didn’t start thinking more deeply until I started to work on a Viera Pictomancer. He too, would be excited to see all the art, until he (and me) started to think more deeply on it. All the artwork shown in Solution-9 is just a shallow imitation of art. 🧵 #ffxiv #naomirants

Well see! That’s a part of it. If a world where you can’t remember who passed, how can you appreciate the classics? How do you know who painted it? The only art you see being marketing, is the graffiti artwork which is known not to last too long. Fascinating stuff!

It was either we did it yesterday or…we wait for it.
