People love to see someone else’s embarrassment. What’s at stake? - For those unfamiliar with the Final Fantasy XIV community, this might seem like just a case of schadenfreude. The modding community is afraid the billboard puts too much attention on them. Inverse has reached out to Square Enix for comment on this developing story but did not receive a response in time for publication. While the event organizers have said in the group’s Discord channel (which is now closed) that this event was not going to make any profit, the extensive list of infringements on terms of service could make them a target for bans. The main worry is that players will use parsers, tools that track the damage output of players, to bully players for not “playing optimally” in an encounter.

Modding has long been an issue in the game, with Square Enix turning a blind eye to it - so long as fans don't use mods in a way that affects the experience of other players. Yet the official Final Fantasy XIVlogo is featured on the billboard, giving the event a veneer of official approval that it almost certainly does not have.Īll these elements either explicitly break the terms of service or are walking the line. Specifically, the Viera on the billboard’s left side is wearing a data-mined outfit and both characters are being posed in ways the vanilla game does not allow, meaning it is being done with a third-party tool. While ERP is not a bad thing, it is often looked down upon by other players and the development team of FFXIV has a tolerance for it - as long as it doesn’t get out of hand.Īnother point of contention is the billboard’s apparent use of third-party tools that break the game’s terms of service. Balmung has an infamous reputation in Final Fantasy XIV for being home to a large population of role-playing communities, including those that do erotic roleplay, or ERP.

The event is being held by Rain Nightclub, a Free Company (an in-game group of players), at their house on the Balmung world. While many people saw this as just a cringe thing to do, others saw it as a threatening action that could negatively impact the larger community. The billboard that sparked community outrage.
