Yes, but this is XIV
The only gear type the devs can bring back in XIV are visible belts

Mayhaps someone has a screenshot of the gear slots in 1.0 they can post? :)

The underclothes slots are above and under the hand slot

Bosses like Odin who have a capes most likely animated with those in mind, not with actual physics. You can't even see it blowing into the wind because the weather would always be Hopelessness. when he's around.

Considering we had a dev/SE reply about how they were struggling with making items placable in armorire because of data limitations of all things, I don't see extra equipment slots being a thing for players.

Capes and mantels would look so good and it can add more stats and if people don't want to look at it then have a hide option on it.

I honestly didn't even notice this game has no capes. I'm happy enough with flowing hair and visible jewelry. As a compromise maybe we could have more armor with long coats?

Please for the love of god don't bring capes back. If u want capes go check out wow every class in the game uses them and every class looks just as dumb as the other

We already have capes. Check out the Ironworks Cuirass of Maiming

I am beginning to understand why they removed it...
Maybe for database reasons, but also because it kinda feels wrong to have the following exchange:
"Our tank didn't even have the tank bra and panties!"
"I finally got the uberthong!"

Yeah having statted underwear...not one of the game's better ideas.

Actually they never ended up bringing in end game underwear, just level 1 and (if I recall correctly) level 21 pieces. They also weren't class specific, only race+gender specific, and I think the only stats they had were defence and magic defence. They could be HQ'ed but that was the only stat variation and it was just more of the same. Many of the low level hempen items we have now are actually the old underwear in new slots.

Yes, hempen underwear and cotton underwear. I find it sad that they removed the cotton underwears, now i would maybe never get woolen underwears.

About stats:
Hempen Halftop (lv1) +2 Def
Cotton Halftop (lv21) +7 Def
Halftop is the female Miqo'te undershirt

I like Capes, Aion its a good example of how they can look great (even in chars with huge wings). Could be just optionals (hide cape / show weapon - hide weapons/show cape)
GW2 have backpacks - WoW have Tabards .. those are good options too

Iff they add it as FC items should be dyable and with the FC logo (more FC icons please......)

Would like 3 cape styles: Regular - Hood - Poncho+Hood

Cloaks > Capes.

How about wings?
