I recently got a new computer and reinstalled FFXIV. I decided I would do 7.5 MSQ now that I have free time, only to find that there's now a 90% that NPCs in cutscenes will spawn in naked. First it was G'raha in the Baldesion Annex suddenly becoming naked after the flashback cutscene to Alphinaud and Alisaie in Garlemald. Then it was Thancred in the Bestway Burroughs cutscene.
I've restored game data via the launcher as well as verified the integrity of my game files through Steam but I received no errors either time and the issue still persists.
I don't know how or why this is happening. I can't find anything online about this happening to others. I just watched Zero go from wearing her paladin outfit to transforming into a naked reaper. It completely ruined the cutscene for me. It was funny in the moment, but it's left me feeling disappointed and sad.
Date & Time: 7/8/2026, 1:03 AM EST
Frequency: Has a high chance of randomly happening to any NPC in any cutscene
NPC name: All of them, but it seems to only happen to one NPC at a time
Steps:
1. Open game
2. Play a cutscene either through MSQ or inn replay
3. Watch a random NPC suddenly become naked
