Fran's about as smart as all the imperials that walk around in full plate armor (with fully-encased helmet!) in the raging sun. And they stand GUARD under it and aren't moving around.
By comparison, her 'chainmail' style armor is a bit heavier for battle but still allows much more flexibility and breathing-room compared to the Imperials.
Just saying if you really want to talk about heat strokes, none of the Imperials are getting heat-stroke standing in the same spot day in and day out :P
1 - Requesting that the mod author place this file in the proper folders so that one 'whole folder' injection does the trick. Much more user-friendly that way and minimizes potential errors too! 2 - Also requesting a 'Carbon Fiber' version for Vaan as well! This is the only one available so far: https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy12/mods/21 After examining the differences in-game, I love your version SO much better! So if you can do the same version for Vaan then I'll be so damn happy :) 3 - Wishlist: Carbon Fiber for the entire party, especially Vaan, Ashe, and Penelo! Ashe with some actual pants/armor would be awesome! 4 - Remove the transparent veil-thing in front of Fran if possible.

I'm trying to modifiy Penelo's outfit and I thought everything was fine so far (this is my first real attempt at a mod so I'm a little lost), but when I go in game there's still what I think is the normal map from her original look. Every time I try to unpack the file (tex_0_clut_0_c1023_clut_1_n.dds.phyre) to try to edit it it gives me an error (Found texture ArtData/chr/chara/c10/c1023/tex/tex_0_clut_0_c1023_clut_1_n.dds, format BC5, mipmaps 9 Error: Unknown texture format). Can anyone give me any advice? Maybe I'm missing something really stupid?
Here's what it looks like in-game atm. I've cut away some fabric on her stomach and the side of the legs, but you can still see the "texture" of the fabric. https://i.imgur.com/blzunoQ.png
It might have to do with the compression level, not sure as I never did this. If the texture of the fabric keeps staying I would recommend changing it to a see-through cloth like Fran's, doesn't need to move but it would be still enjoyable to see her bellybutton :3
It's always an improvement because her original suit is really silly, if at some point we get her to wear the Revenant game suit it would be a huge improvement, in the final video in after credits she looks gorgeous: https://i.imgur.com/TyI11rd.jpg.
Hmm, yeah I'm not sure if there's anything I can do about that I guess.And yeah, that RW outfit is the dream here. But that's far above my skill level. Messing with textures in photoshop is one thing, having knowledge of models/meshes is another. So idk, I'll continue messing around and see what I can come up with that doesn't look too weird. That's not a bad suggestion with the see-through fabric, which is almost what it looks like already. Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
Id you can give me a new Penelo look, cuz the suit she wears is sillier than anything, preferably FF12 Revenant version which is shown in the game as well, I would be so damn grateful.
Cool concept, but might I suggest a less intense shade of black? I don't think there's anything in the entire game as black as this, it's quite jarring. Her hair, ears, and veil feel really disconnected.
watafuzz I tried to do that myself, but i didnt even know where to start. can you tell me the process? i want to make some new textures for the game but i never worked with this .phyre type of file.
phyre files are containers or something like that, you can extract textures from them. I assume you've downloaded VBF Browser, if you go inside its folder you'll see a ff12-vbf folder and inside that ff12-phyre.exe, you unpack and repack .phyre files with that. Open a command line in that folder and type "ff12-phyre" and it will instruction for how to use it.

Wears concealing all skin tight black clothes under the raging sun. Yes, I've heard that getting heat strokes is very smart!

Lokidragon7: That's because you need to open a command prompt and then use the cd command to navigate to the folder.
