Costume system

[Anjou]

There is no reason to go after another poster here. Ultimately all Umichi was pointing out was the fact if SE wanted to just tell us all to deal with no vanity slot/costume system or whatever you want to call it they could in fact just do so.

Personally, while I do acknowledge SE has the right reserved to do so, they're catering to a global playerbase, and the game is 11 years old with most people never getting to know of the original jobs and their looks. Most of the time I see my LS encouraging newer players to skip artifact and just do af3, is that fun/right for the people wanting to look as they please?

There is also this thing known as compromise, which would be a system that does keep with how SE would prefer different jobs to look and also allow us to customize our characters appearances, which could likely be limited to what one has set for a main job.

SE has been literally butt-f**king us for the last several years, I'm pretty sure they don't like the word compromise, because they like to run the show for their precious JP player base and leave everyone else out. I do get however a job should pertain to their looks, it'd be rather odd seeing a Red Mage in Abyss armor now wouldn't it?

As to the game finally dying, its not going to be because of people blindly supporting the game, but due to SE not doing very much to attract new players to the game. As no new blood, only means less and less blood over time. On top of that, the game is not friendly to new players anymore. Yes, leveling is faster than the old days, but it is also no longer engaging. To me it feels like more of a chore now than it did before CoP came out. So tell me how you hook a person into continuing to play, when a large portion of their early play experience is not that engaging?

If you wish to talk about the game dying but you want to prevent it, then people need to start encouraging new players to do content alongside their leveling, that way as they grow, they learn the story, which was the original game plan to begin with.

Personally, while I do support some kind of costume/vanity system, I would much rather SE not devote time to it yet as there are other things they should finish up first. Like Cait Sith and Atomos for summoners, and the RME updates that were mentioned. Especially since the RME being outclassed by weapons significantly easier to obtain is a deal breaker for many people, and it is not just RME holders that is a deal breaker for.

If they 'devote time' to Cait Sith/Atomos, we'll never see anything get done. They don't care, they just want to crank out this bullhockey to keep people pacified until XIV comes out. I definitely understand the RME thing though, that kind of work deserves the superior weapon instead of these little cracker jack toys people call delve weapons.
