Final Fantasy 14's patch 7.1 notes are here and it's good news, MMO fans - over 118 shoes have been spruced up to make your feet look better than ever
The Final Fantasy 14 community may unsurprisingly have some thoughts to share following patch 7.1 and its preliminary notes, which detail various important changes - and some for all us /gpose fans out there, like "improved" attention to "character toe detail."

Plus, it's not the only alteration coming to character visuals in the MMO with the update - lens transparency is being increased for "certain eyewear," and transparency effects are being added to gear like leggings and stockings.
