Sorry to digress but do you mind if I ask how come you know so much about this? I'm fascinated and love reading your posts.

Every npc outfit is like this.

That's a lot of money I'll be saving by not spending money on the store.

I'd like the mog station team to start releasing the hairstyles with the character outfits, otherwise I'm not willing to buy them at all.

I just want the male outfit for my femme character. That bodysuit with the flashy neckline would be so pretty on her. 😭

Just observation and trying a lot of things on together for glamours, and seeing how they interact.

From the basic knowledge that the character model is assembled in pieces, with parts of the body switched out for dressed lookalike pieces, you can start to understand how it goes together and the rules that the gear pieces need to follow.

There are only a few set lengths of gloves in the game, and long ones always have a band at the top, even if they're not solid fabric all the way up – look at things like the Ravel Keeper mage gloves that have bare arms (though model-wise the arms are actually part of the glove model) and a metal armband at the top where they connect to the body model to hide the join between the model parts.

Those things look terrible imo lol but whats with them not having hairstyles?
LF Ryne hair.

The modding community has done a lot to dissect how gear is created & works on the 3D side of things in FF14, and a lot of their documentation is floating around on the internet to read if you find the right discords/websites.

The primary reason that Iscah is alluding to with their post, is that FF14 gear is basically the equivalent of lego characters - there is no 'body' underneath your gear that pieces morph around, whenever you equip a new piece of gear, that piece literally replaces that whole section of your body, skin & all, like replacing a lego character head with a brand new one.

The Omega-F model was created initially with the idea the player would never be equipping the gear, hence several key attributes of the gear are designed to not have to worry about mixing with any other piece in the game, as Iscah mentioned. If they did, there would be a decent chance you'd see seams, open holes in the model from it not connecting to other pieces correctly, etc. Hence why they released it as an all in one: you don't have to worry about editing the design in order for it to play nice with other gear if they can't equip any other gear along with it.

What people should be more annoyed about is the fact that it's in the mog station rather than obtainable through playing.

I will always remain of the opinion that a pay-up-front subscription based game shouldn't have a cash shop. Especially not one as elaborate as the one FF14 runs.

If 12 dollars is a lot of money to you it's probably a good idea to not spend it on virtual items anyways.

Would be nice if we could store them in the armoire, that's my only complaint.
