FFXIV VFX MOD RDM • Flowers and Thorns

[@gatotsuzero5947]

I like this mod pack quite a bit, especially the Verholy/flare and scorch. Thank you for making and sharing this!

[@vavakxnonexus]

This is such an incredibly put together mod! I really love how how distinct all the basic elemental spells end up feeling (making Verfire into several projectiles is such a great idea to distinguish it from Jolt), and I really like the way it ties in floral elements into the narrative of a lot of skills - Verflare summoning flowers that then explode, or the vines twining around Verstone! The blooms growing from Verthunder II are also a very sweet touch! I do have to admit, Verholy and Scorch using the same flower VFX still feels awkward, especially given they're back to back, and both also share the flower with Impact.

[@ElectroSaber]

this is honestly so sick - i've wanted to redo effects for embolden and transform fleche/c6 into more sword-focused skills myself for a while, but this nails it !!! great job

[@Leonitys_]

hope this gets a dawntrail update!

[@Skyiee14]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@melolatte]

Absolutely stunning! 😱🥺😍

[@violetcat8410]

this is soooo good... i really love the choices you made for how to add the theme to the basic spells like verfire and verstone. especially adore verthunder III and the giant stabbing thorn!! ive seen a lot of flower themes out there for vfx mods but you've done this really really well. my only suggestions would be to edit the sound on contre sixte (i cant tell if there's nothing there or if its just super quiet), and then maybe add some kind of slight screenshake to veraero III and verthunder III? not quite as big as on verflare/verholy, but something to give the single target rotation a bit more of a punch to it. one last thing would be to maybe try exploring changes to the actual casting animations. the white magic isn't too bad, but the casting vfx from the thunder spells feels like it clashes a bit. overall SPECTACULAR work. if you plan on making other vfx mods id be eager to see what else you come up with!!

[@sentient_paper]

Thank you so much! You're bringing up lots of great points, I'll definitely try to look into it. Sound is my nemesis, I'm actually almost done with a couple of mods, but the sound is off for most of them so I need to sit down and understand how it works once and for all haha

[@suhdude9732]

I really hope the creator updates the pack soon. I started using this pack a day before 6.5

[@sentient_paper]

Hello! Took me long enough, but the fixed version is up!

[@miqotesoulia8620]

nailed the theme of this. Great idea to encompass that sting of a thorny rose. Now to use it on enemies heh. Great stuff thank you!

[@derpmacdiggings1265]

thanks for making this, its a very nice mod there is an odd green bar on verflare/verholy tho and idk if thats a new thing or in the original version of the mod also the scorch attack after that covering the whole screen for a good second in a bright white light, makes it a bit hard to see is all ty

[@Luna-Starfrost]

Thats both bugs caused by the 6.5 patch, sadly. The modder needs to fix this but I don't think he updates this anylonger. Which is pretty sad, it's such a good mod.

[@sentient_paper]

Hi! Thank you for your comments! The fixed version is now uploaded :)

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

Excuse me, would you mind checking over and updating this wonderful VFX? I think the 6.5 update might have borked a few things, particularly with Verflare, Verholy, and Scorch.

[@Blackestfang]

thank youuuuuuu! i am so much closer to making my canon wol stuff in game. i just need a flower themed lb and more ribbons for my outfit

[@sentient_paper]

Thank you! Ooooh I could try to do an LB... 🤔🤔🤔 I need to find some ideas

[@leopang3821]

It has a weird green line on Verholy and Verflare after the patch 6.5 It doesn’t have it before the parch Is it just me or also happening to everyone else?

[@ZariLutus]

it's a problem on my end too. Might have to do with some of the VFX changes in the files with the patch. It's something the mod creator would have to update

[@Luna-Starfrost]

@@ZariLutus Got that problem too. I really hope they fix that soon, this is such a gorgeous mod.

[@sentient_paper]

Hi! Indeed 6.5 changed a few things. Took me a while but the fix is up!

[@cthun5912]

Basically..Senbonzakura kageyoshi mod

[@Blooming.Grove1]

Would love to use this but it seem the files don't seem to be working with my Penumbra. Maybe ill figure it out but I'm excited to try this

[@jusmusic5653]

Love the modpack! The theme is really good but I'm having some trouble with the files, when i download it, im only able to get a .mpd file and .mpl file. I'm not the most tech-saavy but would anyone know how I'd get those into a .pmp or .ttmp2 file?

[@sentient_paper]

Hi! I just checked, the .pmp and .ttmp2 files should both be in there :o I think your zip program is opening the .ttmp2, cause that's where the .mpd are usually hidden (i didn't even know they were a thing until now)

[@jusmusic5653]

@@sentient_paper Ah you were right! Tysm! I didn't even know I could do that until now haha

[@flowerybloom]

whoa, fucking amazing.

[@nasyat5765]

I've been getting a download of a .rar with the .mpd and .mpl file in it instead of a .ttmp2 or .pmp when grabbing it from either source. File is listed as the .rar too. Can't figure out how I might get this to the right file type.

[@sentient_paper]

Hi! The .mpd and .mpl are hidden in the .ttmp2, your zip program must be opening the .ttmp2 directly for some reason, if you go up the file tree you should find the files you need :)

[@stardustorchard9316]

Neither the pmp or textools file was in the folder when unzipped. Am I doing something wrong?

[@neotwilight31]

no idea but let me know if you figure it out

[@neotwilight31]

nvm i figured it out you need a tool in your computer to extract rar files

[@cheungchaudogtown]

may i know which file i should input if i only want to change Countre Sixte and Scortch to the new version please?

[@sentient_paper]

Hi! Thanks for your interest! To be able to pick which skills you wish to replace, you need to use the .pmp file through Penumbra. As to how to install Penumbra, I don't remember cause a friend did everything for me 💀 But there's probably tutorials out there?

[@cheungchaudogtown]

@@sentient_paper thanks for your reply, so do I only need the pmp file in that case? The pmp file had already included all the animations?

[@sentient_paper]

@@cheungchaudogtown Yup! The only difference between the .pmp and .ttmp2 is that when importing the .pmp, a list should show up letting you easily pick :) The content otherwise is the same

[@Luna-Starfrost]

This is sooo good. Currently lvl 81 on Redmage, so I don't know if the skills after that one have the same problem, but Verflare and Verholy currently are bugged. Maybe cause of the newest patch? It has like a long green box over it's effect. Can you fix that? ;o

[@rivunn]

Hey I downloaded the mod, is there way to make it so the mod doesn't change Verthunder III? I want to use the base version of Verthunder III

[@sentient_paper]

Hey! Thanks for the download! There's probably a way to let you decide which animations you wish to change or keep through penumbra, I'll look into it and keep you updated!

[@sentient_paper]

Hello again, I updated the file on the Ko-fi link, Penumbra now lets handpick skills you wish to replace. Hopefully it works fine :) I also did some minor adjustments.

[@rivunn]

@@sentient_paper thanks I will test it when I get home

[@MizuhimeLee]

This might sound dumb but what song is this in the BG?

[@sentient_paper]

It's the lvl70 Ala Mhigo dungeon theme :)

[@MizuhimeLee]

@@sentient_paper ooooh thank you so much!

[@narmeya3177]

they took one of your animation man
