If the cape is this subtle yeah.

Yeah this is a great idea and then SE could also then add a slot cost to the Cape, Shoulder, Face and Head items so that it would be more inefficient to wear the high level gear.

Only kidding just venting my anger on the accessory slot cost thing ^^ but yeah more item's and gear can never be a bad thing can it?

would be pretty cool to have such a slot for class specific gear.
like a backbag for DoL classes to have increased inventory space especially for farming.
or a scarf for thief/ninja classes and capes for the tanks.
but mostly this stuff is just for looks, and if SE feels like adding a cape/scarf or backbag to have a more unique class design they'd prolly do so by just adding those pieces so it's conntected with the body armor.

Great Idea!! SE please do this!!

I started a 'capes thread' a couple weeks back about the physics capabilities of the graphics engine, but also how timely it would be for the devs to graphically fit capes over every piece of gear. I followed up with an idea about implementing gear slots within certain pieces of gear (mid-high level) that allowed for capes and materia add-ons (materia could boost certain abilities/skills as opposed to character stats like WoW's glyph system... forgive me for using WoW as an example).

That logic was based mainly on the current system to be able to implement capes over the current gear system... but if I were to choose regardless of man-power, time and dev priorities... man, I'd pee myself over an update with new back slots for visible physics-based capes, hooded cloaks, scarves, backpacks and FFXI's potion tanks as additional gear options... sigh... one can only hope.

Also, this would be a great existing slot for SE to build upon with in regard to backpacks and capes.

I say yes to as many gear slots as possible.

Agreed. I want more masks and to be able to wear them with a cloak!

Make the face slot completely cosmetic

This ^^ 10car

I thought it was weird that I couldn't equip a circlet and a wooden mask at the same time.

So, yeah.

i want wings with plus to movement speed :)
