Suggestion for a in-game screenshot mode

✭✭✭✭✭
A suggestion to add in selfi screenshot mode for this game. This mode will center the in-game camera and zoom in to see a character's head and face.

Some of the features it will have.
1. Character will make random facial expressions
2. Can be used both in and out of combat
3. No add-ons required
4. Can use emotes and move around
5. Automatically hides user interface when taking screenshot
6. Can do this with multiple players
7. Can adjust angle and zoom of in-game camera
8.

This will make screenshots of the game more dynamic and fun for all. It will be optional to use.

    Yesss, it’d be nice to have a freecam mode too. I’m a big fan of dropping my camera close to the ground for screenshots but I feel like I cant quite get low enough for the dramatic angles I’m going for.

    While those would all be great and practically free marketing if people share them with friends/followers, I think even just this one option would be nice:

    I can't share a screenshot of my character's full body without being at an outfit station because of the offsets in the regular camera. Which, yes, you can adjust somewhat, but not just for the sake of taking an impromptu screenshot lol.

    Yeah my first and foremost wish for screenshots is to be able to lower the camera.

    Aside from getting a dramatic angle, right now if you're zoomed in close and your character sits down, they just disappear out of frame, even lowering the camera as far as it will go. 😖

    I know, but the way it was described sounded like they were.

    And with how many people use their phone to take screenshot I'm surprised you can on console since everyone seems to take pics of the TV.

    Probably because it is harder to get the screen snapshot from your PS to the forums than PC.

    Thing that gets me is people on pc that do it. Oof.

    But I don't recall it being harder, just taking more time.

    Problem with photos of the screen is the bars that run across it and pixelated graininess. Cameras can't take flawless pics for whatever reason and I always have trouble seeing whatever they want me to see.

    Best part about ffxiv group pose tho? It's usable on console. I didn't though, just found it easier to grab my mouse. I played pc with gamepad and there's gamepad controls for it since the game is cross platform.

    It’s really bad when whoever took the picture is using the Vibrant HDR.

    It’s just extra hassle, I don’t want to use the browser on PS (if they still have one) so I have to put it on a thumb drive and go to the computer room and put it in the computer, and that thumb drive now has hundreds of screenshots on it so it takes time to sort by date and find it. I’ll do it instead of using my cell phone, though.

    That's a good workaround for now (with nice lighting!), but for example, my staff and some helms/hats are always cut off by the top of the screen lol.

    And while we're at it! Hide UI should hide health bars and group member indicators, too! Only way to get rid of them is to leave group, or go all the way into settings to turn off the groupmember icons just for the photo. (Idk if it hides nameplates, as I don't use those. This is with basegame UI.)
