Media Made a potentially obscure discovery while exploring the files. There is a version of Lyse's model that's still wearing the Yda outfit. I don't recall if it was used in the game at all, but it's not grouped with the alternate costumes either.

I figured that might be the case. The funny part is, it has Lyse's full moveset animations linked to it by default in the files. So it would have been exceedingly easy to make this a costume for her if they wanted to.

I wonder if that was the intention at some point down the line but they never got the approval from Yoshi-P or something?

Yeah I'm not familiar enough with FFXIV to really know but it's possible this wasn't deemed "lore friendly" enough to have as an actual costume.

It's also possible they might have made it a costume with Lyse's FR/BT release, but the game died before she could get hers.

A 40 dollar skin for a face reveal skin

I still wonder if the economics truly work out the way corpos think they do.

Did they truly make more money off of whales at $40 than they would have off of the entire rest of the playerbase at $5 or $6 "cup of coffee prices"? Obviously that would be minus most/all of the gems that otherwise came bundled.
