Whenever you're on an enemy's hate list (e.g. a paladin that's tanking Ifrit), you won't be able to change your gear. Hopefully that clears everything up, and we apologize for the initial confusion caused.

Pheww thank you.

Glad to hear that it was just misinformation.

He laughs, backs up a bit, then breaks into a full gallup, spear pointed at your head. You realise the terrible mistake you've made and begin running in the other direction.

Alas! You're not fast enough! You need something to trip up Odin's horse's hooves quicklike. You begin shedding clothing and dropping them, hoping to create small clothlike foot traps.

The last anyone sees of this brave pugilist Lalafell is a screaming ball of flesh streaking through the forest.

However, I will accept gear change for this reason.

I'm glad to hear that we won't have in-battle gear changes as well. I hated that in XI!

No, just NO!

There'll be a million 'special cases' if SE do anything other than what they plane to do .. which is just FINE, the min/maxers seriously damaged FFXI with their Windower-required gear swap edicts, keep that sort of idiocy away from FFXIV.

I think, sir, that you may have missed the jocular tone in which Llen's post was made. It should be plain to see that the last thing she would want to disrupt her peaceful fishing expeditions were random incursions by naked players into her serene environment. It would scare away the fish.

With that in mind, can you ask the devs if there will still be enemies that have equipment removing attacks? I always hated those.

If you can't put gear back on when you have hate on the mob. Then they wont be enemies that remove your equipment. You pretty much have to do noting so you can put your gear back on.

Excellent !
A most annoying mechanic for sure.
Now put the move-and-cast back in thanks.
