real world clothes please (aka glamours)

For fans of casual jeans, Zidane's outfit actually provides a very nice level 1 dyeable pair.

The wristband you get for doing 500 or so GC leves for the immortal flames looks like a very nice golden watch. The two other companies' wristbands could pass for one also, but aren't as chic.

why wouldn't Eorzeans consider making hoodies? it's....just...a...shirt....with a hood...like whm robe, or any other robe in the game...with a hood...
bikini, fat choco/mog head/costume, deer costume, wedding outfits, already "ruined" the theme.

I mean for the chocobo/mog/deer costumes I guess you could argue that most places make fancy dress stuff themed on animals and what not all the time.

I can see denim eventually being a craftable material.

as for more modern outfuts, yeah. I even try to get as close as I can with the gear we do have. I can look like I'm fit for a mosh pit with some creativity.

Just have them come from another world, that's how we got the FF XIII gear, it would explain why we live in the world where everything is powered by chocobos running in a wheel and we're wearing skinny jeans and hoodies.

Someone mentioned this in another thread and I'm still a believer that it's win win for all people involved. Allow level 1 gear be as ridiculous as you want it. Keep tome, high end crafted gear, and raid gear looking in theme.

Have a option in your system menu that turns off glamour. If you're a purist and don't want to see people glamouring the ridiculous. You'll see them wearing that lore gear. And they can enjoy their hoodie or w/e.

Keeps immersion for those people.

Could go even deeper and just have a checklist where you can say "I don't want to see real clothes on people but other glamours are fine." And keep themes in a group that way you can just block a distasteful theme

The glitz and glam are nice and all, but i want my WoL to look comfy while hes out saving the world.
Have a npc merchant called foreign fashion advisor or something.

I do not want to see hoodies in the game. I don't think it fits the world at all. I wouldn't mind seeing more casual looking clothes though.

It can be like the WHM AF body gear, but as a half robe instead as a full robe. With the hood down.

I don't agree with this, it doesn't fit with the FF theme the FF theme they're trying to go with is FF12 as people said if you want this idea go play aion.. or something all the MMORPGs can't be the same. Each one has its own feel FF was never one to mix themes so lets keep it this way, lots of clothes are already casual as hell as people said but not the now-time casual which I think is the best way of doing it.

The expedition bottom for males looks like 80's disco jeans with those shiny texture.

I would love to see more modern clothing for FFXIV. I want to recreate my OC's outfit I drew here:
http://viruschris.deviantart.com/art...ored-302621277

For my character... I want short-sleeve hoodies in the game please! And sneakers and baggy shorts that go past their knees. That's all I ask for.

Ummm. I'm gonna shake my head at this one. Seeing players in jeans, hoodies, and beats would seriously take out a lot of the fantasy in Final Fantasy. We have the real world to fashion ourselves in such ways, and I'd actually propose that we bring things like tabards, doublets, leather gauntlets, and tunics back into the real world!

If anything, they should at least increase customization of our gear. For instance, if a body piece has a hood, I wish we had the option to put it on and take it off. If it's a cowl or some other item that prevents equipping head hear, go ahead and keep it that way.

I would like some more "simple" style tops and pants. I like a more streamlined look.

Although, earning something like this shirt, for treasure hunting, would make my day.

Does anyone know if players in the other region, Europe and Japan, want more casual "modern" clothing options as well?

and you could argue that most places make not-so-fancy (or fancy)...shirts with a hood.
i don't understand this "theme" anyway; either we have plain 19th century clothing, or super fancy haute couture outfits, but hoodies would ruin it?
if we can imagine modern clothing, and fantasy clothing, why wouldn't eaorzeans be able to imagine....hoodies?
then people are being negative whenever you mention realism, like "it's an RPG, the devs can do whatever they want! it's "fantasy" anything can happen (except hoodies)"
we have guns, magitech vehicles, airships, but hoodies...oh no! that's to much.

Yeah, why don't we replace our arms with jello and use our fancy jello-arms to fly while we're at it? Y'know since because it's fantasy and we can do whatever we want! Because some ideas are stupid and don't fit the setting, genius. Frankly I think some of the clothes already IN the game are guilty of that, but we definitely don't need an abercrombie and fitch catalogue floating around in Weaver books. Go play a game in a modern setting if you want modern trendy clothes.

As much as I would love Star Ocean level spacey gear (or some light modern gear) with FF14 being in the industrial era style at best, or just getting into it with airships & Magitech, I could only accept it in the game if it fit Lore wise... seasonal gear as Glamours used to bug me (Bikini Tanks) but I watch to much anime were they actually make ppl wear crap like that as Tank-like classes & get away with it (or not & die horribly do to no armour), but with us having worlds crossing over threw the Void for some events (Lightning & FFXI) I can't say it ant easily possible.

Can't dye them, so no. -_-

oooo I would love to have a real looking hoodie in game, not some overblown robe with a hood so big you could use it as a lala basket

Zidane's outfit (Tantalus set) takes 3 years to get and that's a bit of a long wait for a pair of glamour pants. I don't know about others but I wouldn't design a glamour around an item I'm getting in 2018. The watch was a very nice catch though.

Nah, I think that having more than a handful of modern looking glamours just wouldn't fit the style of the game. I don't mind a few here or there though like the miqo'te hempen top, or certain pants looking like jeans when dyed certain colors, etc. As long as it fit with the lore of the game, but isn't overbearing.

No! Please not!

First comes real world clothes. Then pilot clothes. Then those school uniforms. Then Steampunk... and it ends with a crazy amount of stupid glamour-gear. DONT! Please dont get started with that! You will kill the last bit of immersion we still have in this game. Dont make the same mistakes, like other MMORPGs before (Aion, Tera Online, PSO2, Blade and Soul, Black Desert maybe?).

Just remember, what FFXIV is all about. Its a fantasy online game with magic and a bit technology (magitek). It sure have some modern looking clothes already, but that is more than enough. You have so much good looking clothes (for example ironworks gear, allagan gear, midas gear, artifact gear) already, which fit the actual theme very well.

Dont get me wrong. I m absolutely not against modern real world clothes in general. I dont think its that bad to see other players with hoodies and jeans, because we already have some clothes like that. I m also not against more variety.

But I m afraid, that SE could mess it up, by adding more and more ridiculous clothes, that kills the very last immersion we have. Modern clothes are ok I guess, but that should be the an exception. No modern school uniforms, no fucking steampunk shit and please no pilot-/marine-nonsense. Just stay at your traditional final-fantasy-styled clothings.

I'd love at least a hoodie model. I can glamour the rest.

I don't want to be that person but I'd just say I wouldn't be too surprised if they brought out school uniforms before 4.0

Not real world uniforms i'd say but it wouldn't surprise me.

You can actually make a pretty convincing school girl outfit just using the Sailor top and valentine legs. However I don't think most people are asking for "I <3 Gridania" or anything, just simple styles. I mean we do seem to be progressing into the future of fashion, I mean all the new glamour armor like the High House Bustle and Justaucorps look like they were ripped right from the 1800s.

I don't know if it will fit well in ffxiv... but if people want it; .... :(

And to think, All i wanted was a t-shirt to wear with my shorts. I never thought that this thread would get so much attention.
Thank you everyone for all your feedback. (For and against)

way to over-dramatize it; please don't compare a hoodie, with jelly arms....it's...A SHIRT!! there's plenty of shirts in game, why would a hoodie be as bad as jelly arms? please...
you know...they could add a hoodie, without IRL symbols? you're just being ridiculous telling me to go play other games; Allagan anyone? ya that's not modern at all - pretty much every single FF game has modern attributes, get over yourself; no one asked for A&F set.
Your hairstyle looks modern and trendy, maybe you should change it, or go play other games with trendy hairstyles! -.-
they could add hoodies with a eorzean touch, that match the setting, without looking like IRL stuff.
the only thing that is stupid, is your shortsightedness and close-mindedness.

except every ironworks item, and everything garlean and allagan, and goblin, and machinist/guns, and airships, etc?

Its not really ' modern looking ' its steam punk sci-fi which we don't even have in real life, unless you want a steam punk sci-fi hoodie your point is a little in-valid we don't have ANY airships that look like FF airships, so again its hardly a friggin hoodie.. lol. But anyway, you will get casual clothing with FF15 like we get FF13 clothes in Mog station / events. And to add, saying we have guns ( must of the guns are a older style ) why don't we have hoodies? Because SE has put they're own twist on them they're not ' real life ' weapons they're SE steam punk style. So again, if you want a steam punk hoodie sure but most people are asking for plain or really strict hoodies not SE styled fashion. Everything you take as your points we have Sci-fi steam punk ' modern ' items, they're not the ' modern ' items we have in real life unless we have sci-fi ironworks gear I am not aware of?

What I meant by the word "modern", and how I read most other instances of its use in this thread, was as a description of the sorts of things you'd see people wearing or traveling around in if you took a walk around your local shopping mall. I tend to agree with the person who posted above me that garlean, ironworks, Allagan and goblin styles are more steampunk /sci-fi themed than modern day. But like I said above, a few things here and there don't break immersion, I wouldn't complain if a hoodie was introduced that was designed to look like something an eorzean might wear. Then again, we have quite a few hooded items in game already so who knows.

Allagan gear/Ironworks gear, Airships, Machinist-stuff and such are not modern, they are still sci-fi/fantasy. Maybe you should read my post more than once or just look at the current gear. I dont find any AK47 or P90 in this game. Or something like jeans, hoodies and jackets ; )

Are you trying to claim that a hoodie or jeans being added would be on the same level as an ak47 or p90?

Nope

In terms of immersion breaking aesthetics yes...yes they would be in my honest opinion.

I'm gonna have to chalk another no on this idea, then again I already dislike some of the incredulous options for glamour they have available. Call me old fashioned but I like when people look like they are actually dressed to preform the task they are doing.

All for more varied gear styles, modern or not. :)
If a reindeer suit can be here ...anything can.

YES please se. the current gear is so copy paste as is.

forget real word clothes however would love more hairstyles and maybe real hair physics, oh wait ps3 limitations... forgot silly me.

How is it any different? The reasoning given is that hoodies and jeans can be done within the universe, all Eorzea's Weavers need to do is think it into existence. The same applies to an AK47 or a P90, we have the technology, hell seeing some of the ridiculous gun designs it would be a step below the current level we have already, far below the technology the Garleans have, let alone the Allagans. All that needs to be done is for them to be "thought into existence". The point is that it doesn't fit, "it's fantasy and that means anything goes" isn't a reason. Wouldn't you think someone was strange if they rocked up to your local supermarket rocking Havel's set?

actually if the machinist weps looked more real life like like even the pirate pistols i would lv one, for some reason we always have that stuped looking thing at our hip unlike the maelstorm admrial meyrb that has two pistols no silly clip thing on belt.

I think if they took the modern design, and maybe added some medieval flare to it, it could potentially work :O! I say they should add a set or two to give it a shot.
