What do you want to see in the Katagami (vanity) system?

How about making the craft system relevant again? How about making CT content that we don't have to play with 23 idiots, but can instead play with our FC? How about SE not copy everything from WoW and come up with something original?

How about no.

Since they sort've copied their FATE idea from Rift and their rifts... let's hope they copy their vanity system to the T. I mean exactly like Rift. None of that SE "enhancement" garbage. Just copy it exactly how it is and just watch how your customers will love you for years to come because you did something so right it's almost wrong.

So going with my namesake, which is inspired by:

I'll start with this for the head item:

Then, I'd be looking for ideas for the body piece. Some the darklight looks cool, but not sure where to go after the mask.

With you 100%. That's the easy system LoTRO/EQ2 uses and I love it. I despise the system TERA uses where I have to sacrifice a piece of gear to combine the old and the new. Some gear in XIV can only be obtained once, and the thought of having unique gear destroyed would make me not want to use the vanity system.

edit:

I don't really agree with a vanity system. Something that they've made out so big seems to have a lot of time/effort put into it that could have gone to something more important. While some gear IS fugly I couldn't care less. I'm pretty sure I won't be using this at all.

Appearance is very important in MMORPGs. Nobody wants to look like thousands of other people. That's boring. Vanity will add much needed variety to Eorza. You'll be allowed to where whatever you want without sacrificing stats. Endgame players will no longer look identical. We'll all be wearing different things because we all have different taste in clothing.

Maybe to some. Maybe I'm lucky I happen to like most (not all) of my armour and don't notice it.

Unrelated but I've never played an MMO with a vanity feature, so what exactly is the whole transmute/transmog thing people bring up D:

Mostly I just want to do two NO THREE things:

Always match and not look like I got dressed in the dark.

Get rid of that hilariously baggy and unflattering BLM AF2 robe.

WEAR SOMETHING BACKLESS SO I CAN ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO SEE MY LEGACY TATTOO. D:

I would love just some regular vanity slots. Assuming they're gonna make us transmog with something we have to craft/get from crafters (so they feel semi-relevant for a few days again). If that's the case, I'll gladly blow up my bad allagan pieces to cover up the HIDEOUS BRD AF+1 gear that's BIS. Or if they'll let me, I'd be down for using my Snow event gear to cover up my Warrior's awfully mismatched set.

i feel like we are going to have a LOT of lightning girls around....
