Fashion items (character and chocobo)

I thought it would be cool to unlock fashion items from certain quests and such, by "fashion item" I mean it only acts for display purposes and doesn't give any stats. That way, those who dislike the look don't lose out from not having it equipped.

Examples (character):

• Capes
• Bags
• Scarfs
• Masks

Personally I would love a white cape to go with my PLD, or a purple for DRG etc.

As for chocobo, wouldn't it be awesome to unlock a colored feather to equip to your chocobo and change it's color?

Examples:

• Blue feather (chance of dropping from Crystal tower)
• Brown feather (chance of drop from Titan EX)
• Green feather (chance of drop from Garuda EX)
• Red feather (chance of drop from Ifrit EX)
• Purple feather (unlocked after completing X FATEs)
• Black feather (can be purchased for X Tombstones of Mythology)
• White feather (can be purchased for X tombstones of Philosophy)
• Silver chocobo (unlocked after X dungeons completed)
• Gold feather (given at X commendations)

Of course, the unlock requirements are examples.

Thoughts?

I doubt things like capes will ever be implemented, as SE would have to spend a lot of time having to add extra meshes to the character models, as well as making sure they don't clip with existing armour etc, something that would be very time consuming with little return. This was the reason why they changed from 1.0 where belts went from being separate items to no longer appearing, instead whatever body piece you were wearing has a default belt attached that may not be the same as what belt you're actually equipped with - it was for technical reasons.

As for chocobo colouring, considering other FF games chocobo colour was actually part of the chocobo's breeding, it just wouldn't work, unless it was some kind of dye system. But then, I'd consider that a form of animal abuse. :p That poor chocobo!

But I want a black chocobo!
I love my chocobo enough to want it irl.
I meant feathers as in a magical effect, not dye. You equip the colored feather and the chocobo becomes that color.

As for capes and stuff, I see your point. Maybe if they did it slowly and bit by bit over time, I wouldn't mind waiting.

bump up for Capes <3
