A request for Capes & Cloaks

Any chance we can have some cloaks in the future and have them display on our character on screen? Also have some that go all the way to the ground?

I love having a nice long cloak on when I travel around in a rpg. To deal with the issue of having the shield on your back maybe can make the shield "auto-hide" when not in active mode. If there's any performance issues can make the dispay of the clock itself an option just like with shadows.

To make it more interesting can make it a so you need to unlock the ability to wear one.

I am against this in every possible meaning of the word no, cloaks are not even close to being good in any mmo ever made, they were awful in every instance i have ever seen them, only looking good in some single-player games.

Also, this seems like a wow idea, cloaks and quests to wear cloaks, why not request a pet shop while you're at it?

I'm a FFXI players and i agree we should have capes each jobs can have there own type of cape.

Samurai can wear the capes that in bleach that only the captain wear. "When they add samurai"
THF " Can have the cape that "assassin's creed" have" When they add "THF"
White mage "Can have a type of rope that goes over the top of there body
Black mage "Can have a vincent type cape"

you get the picture by now you can make cape for only jobs and some other stuff like cape for city or even for your linkshell.

We should not be limit to this just because you dislike the idea. You don't like capes? don't wear it or /backitem Off/ON that would fix this issue for you.

should not limit players on stuff when you can have it, And the pets lol **** i would not mind having a little pet chocobo walking by me o.o you have issue with that? Petsdisplay ON/OFF.

see what i did there? anything that make other party not like it then make it so you can turn it off or on :) there you go don't dislike something when other may like this.

No capes in the near future.

Unfortunately, implementing capes is difficult, and we have no concrete plans for them currently.

Capes would of course need to be fluttering and waving, but to to so would require a large upgrade in the game specs and we decided that it would be impractical.

Let me clarify what I meant:

It's not that fluttering and waving are impossible, as you can currently see such motion on equipment like skirts.

It's just that capes are large, spanning from the shoulder to the hips, and the model data required for rendering such a large area with fluttering and waving would be too high an increase to be practical.

No, they don't have to upgrade the game. They have to upgrade the min. specs of the game.

Ya that what i mean by upgrade, i can't believe that have to upgrade the min specs just so they can add capes so we never going to get capes too a Pack due to this issue? i like to hear this from a dev team.

What they meant is that, everything in the game is physic heavy and adding cape would be too much work involved. Capes in MMOs like WoW or single player like Dynasty Warrior, they are pretty much static piece of lolwut that does not flutter.

Like what they did with FF: Spirit Within, they boast that each of Aki Ross's 60,000 hairs was separately and fully animated and rendered.

Ya i was talking about it over with my gf and i forgot all the stuff that can put a lot of heavy on the game. Shadows for the capes and such.

Ya they were saying that they can do it, and the game engine is more than capable, but it would take effort to put it in for alot of people PC's to not cope.

Capes will look like crap, period. That's not my personal opinion, that's just a fact, adding capes that look good is a load on processor which is why i said only a couple single-player games can pull it off, no nobody should be allowed to wear a carboard triangle on their back as a representation of the game, this is not an opinion, it's a fact, because it looks ugly as hell.

Once again don't like them? Displaybackitem Off/ON

I think they should just add cape and for the people that have computer that can run it then allow them to display it. If not then turnoff cape in the menu. We should not be limit just because some people have low end PCs. I think the should do this when they fix the core system/servers so it most people can play this game better or when they upgrade DX10 i don't mind waiting.

True but this would be a extremely low return/work put in type of feature.

No thanks. It would ruin the fantastic art direction of this game. If you want to play a superhero, go play City of Heroes.

once again it wont ruin it if you can just turn it off/on if you dislike it ;) or i guess people don't understand that you can do that to fix the issue of people can't run it / don't like it.

Yes but they would have to change what is written on the box for minumum specs, reducing the amount of people that would want to play further, which they do not want to do. toggle or not.

That why i said should be done for Pack which specs always change. Everyone who playing good with a low end video card knows the day they update the game to new areas would need to upgrade there Video card. Even WoW people had to go and buy a video card cheap one but still lol they had to buy it.

I hope We get cape on a pack there no reason then is there?

In the same vein as the argument for having capes, toggle display, etc. they could also add in a different type of equipment slot altogether, using a smaller model, cutting down on development and design time, and not have to worry about spec changes or anything of the sort... So... +1 to No capes here.

screw capes and cloaks.

JUST GIVE THE ARMOR and HEAVY ARMOR shoulder pads. Stuff looks dumb without it.

Though if you have to put something on the back, id rather have BACKPACKS like from the 'trailer'

1. would make players look more like adventurers
2. would give more space for all the gears we gots. *i have like 65spots of just tools and crafting gear, and 1 set either battle or gathering.*

Once again this is not "some people with low end PCs" this is a cripple on the system to make without looking like crap, no matter the setup.

Hey buddy listen i'm not a wow players so don't go on and being a rude person. I played FFXI for 6years and only play wow for 2month before quiting that shit. So don't be a rude *** if anything players like you are the reason this game is lame. There no issue for adding capes in a pack or something if you don't like it turn the dam thing off -.-

It's ok to request to make this game more casual, more solo more easy. But a person can't request something like capes? where it does not mess up anyone if you can just turn it off? i don't see why any of you just going on this topic and saying no. At least someone of give a good reason why everything should not be solo/casual but it still going to be right?

gosh you people -.- can't request anything without someone blowing up.

Yeah, I'm the reason game is lame, not people who want to add every pointless little thing from here to the moon.

Why it bothers me? We got next to no content, community is going down the crapper, seriously, when was the last time you actually interacted with someone outside of an LS that didn't seem like they were from another planet? our events are kill this and get that being recycled on a monthly basis, every class is basically the same class with a set of different animations, we've got five armors in the entire game and every other armor is a recolor of one of the original five, we have two levee types, two quest types, and they are recycled to random coordinates, AI is horrible on the NPCs that are supposed to walk, optimization of the game engine itself is absolutely horrendous to the point that it is unbelievable, the games "monsters" are essentially 10% rodents, and 80% dinner, having no final fantasy spirit whatsoever, only the last ten being remotely final fantasy like, the environments are copy-pasted mess of unoriginality, balancing is down the drain, half the features are unuseable, a year into the release we still have alpha test bugs present and for every step SE takes even remotely approaching repairing this jumbled mess of confusion, there are ten people ready to spring up protesting the change because "it does not remain true to the spirit of final fantasy" like they are an expert on what final fantasy is when no two games were ever alike.

And on top of all of that we have people like you, people who ask for superfulous pointless features that would "look cool" and even when getting a straight up "no" directly from the company itself you still try to justify it with meaningless lines like "it can't be that hard" or "it shouldn't take that long" how many games have you made? how many teams have you directed? do you have any idea of the complexity it goes into making a game? can you even begin to imagine to collosal amount of mind numbing work it would take to fully construct and implement capes? do you even realize what a "pack" is? do you understand that just because it doesn't come on a disk it doesn't mean it's not difficulty to do?

The reason I am upset is that you can't seem to understand it's not about seeing them, i can turn them off, but it wouldn't stop you, even if we got them, there would be more like you, there would be more that wanted logos, than more that wanted better dynamics, more that want it to stop intersecting with a weapon when its on the back, the cycle never ends, i can turn off a cape, i can't turn off the community that seems to think prioritizing a gimmick takes precedence over improving a system that seems to be broken down to the very core.

yay arguing... that always livens up a post! I dont really care about capes as long as there realistic and fantasy like. I know how we have cowls and robes and stuff but i want those coats that jedi have that hide your face and sneaky sneaky O.o xD

Once again who said to add them now? i said around a pack by which if this game is not better then it not going no where then. Top of that i'm not the OP but i agree we should have them and there no reason why they should not add them.

And where in hell did i say it not hard to make this? or how many games they made? i'm sorry but maybe you talking about someone else. or how many team are they i don't know who the hell you talking to but it's not me.

I understand how hard it would be to add capes and how much work but does not mean we can't have it sometime down the road. I'm not here complaining i just saying at one point or time we can have this if SE want too.

If SE tell us 2years down the road the reason they can't add capes is due to issue with the game. Then it be ps2 limitations all over again here they can't add jack due to it and that all the answers are when we request something. Even now we can't add mail box due to system can't add this due to system o.o i wonder when the system is fix what new thing they going to say to tell us the reason they don't want to add it. Even if it true that they can't add due to Point A,B,C at least try other way.

I can care less if they add Capes or not i still stand by if someone requesting it and they can do it why not. Maybe later they can i don't mind if they never add capes i just standing up to the OP request and i myself wont mind if they add it or not. Even in FFXI i want capes to be display but most of them where ugly so i said na.

In FFXI i always want a Sheath to hold your sword,katana or hand to hand wep would be hold by a hook on your pants i thought FFXIV would have this but it seem like it be to hard to add. I wont even request tho i know it can be done but pointless and too much hard work at this point. But capes i think can be done some point in time in FFXIV.

I'll end it here there no need to be rude and say thing i'm saying when i'm not i'm only saying why should we not have cape at some point or time even if you dislike it does not mean we can't have it.

Hey i dislike people who solo and how casual ffxiv and i'm dealing and ok with that. So i don't see how you can't deal with a easy request as capes.

you said "it can't be that hard"" when i did not even said that anyways this becoming a pointless topic the op is not even talking on this anymore. So i give up if they want to add capes then fine if not then w/e i can care less but should not be hard to add sometime around 1 or 2 pack if they still go with we can't due to the game then i wonder what else they can't add due to the system.

I would like an additional slot for back pieces. And, come to think of it, I want a pet shop too!

You just said it again, do you honestly not read what you write? this is like the third time you said "it shouldn't be that hard" right after claiming you never said it.

wtf are you talking about? i never said that o.o i said it should not be hard to add in a "expansion pack" 2-4years down the road when there no issue with servers/core system. If that still a issue by then, then i don't know how far ffxiv would get.

Screw CAPES

Capes and cloaks always reminds me of "The Incredibles", when that scientist laments the number of heros who died due to wearing them. E.g sucked into jet engines...etc

Ok, seriously I'm getting pissed reading all these comments. Wtf is wrong with people?! When did capes + fantasy world, meaning medieval, magic, swords and sorcery not go together; for those that need a little help (i'm lookin at you Zeref). Has everyone forgotten that this combination goes together like rice and beans? Apparently, Zenaku is in support of something that should have been planned for the game since its creation. I am personally angry with SE for not thinking this through beforehand. Now we are stuck in a pointless position where asking for such an obvious request is being negated for stupid reasons like "capes are for superheroes derp!"

Seriously, those who are against capes must be so scarred by WoW that they have forgotten that all the best fantasy heroes wear capes. Final Fantasy's roots and Amano's artwork displays capes in all their glory.

How many characters are wearing capes in this list? That's Final Fantasy ONE, ok?

Does this look like a cape to y'all?

How about this badass? Or this guy? The latter ones here designed by our beloved Akihiko Yoshida.

So please, stop with the boohoo nonsensical "capes don't fit in this game" crap and forget that WoW ever existed. THIS AINT WOW AND IT NEVER WILL BE. Capes done FFXIV style would obviously look fantastic. Now I COMPLETELY understand the reasoning behind the amount of graphical power, physics and gear-tailoring needed to get capes to look right for this game (which, again, should have been planned for from the start) and is a sound argument given FFXIV's current state. But it's the mistake of the original planners that we will probably never see capes. Thanks SE.

Don't worry Zenaku, the cape naysayers are scarred by WoW's and other mmo's bad graphical choices. Why in the world would SE give FFXIV the flat polygonal cape look to our beautiful Eorzean motif? Again Zen, your idea of class-specific capes would be so bomb I pee myself imagining cape implementation over some artifact armor. This Evil Armor without a cape makes me feel like something is missing. What confuses me most is, with so much of SE's resources put into FFXIV's graphics and physics (which in turn made gameplay and release timing suffer) why did this get omitted?

I'm not a wow players but i can see how bad wow capes are. But does not mean FFXIV would have such bad capes.

Samurai can have bleach capes http://www.animemangalap.eoldal.hu/i...59_355_265.jpg

Assassin or THF can have this type of cape http://www.google.com/imgres?q=assas...1t:429,r:0,s:0

and they can make diff type of capes for diff type of jobs i see no issue in asking for this in a much later date. Even if people dislike the idea you can turn it off if you dislike it and you keep the game how you want it.

I'm all for visible backpacks too, and pet moogle shops.

Pshaw, they really need to hire Relic to animate cape. The cloth pieces from Powered Armour have their own physics and flutter realistically, but no cape yet since it get caught in your Jet Pack and then Kabooooooom.

That game look noting like FFXIV you can't use a game like that because you think the capes going to look bad, And let's say the capes does look very good in FFXIV but by any bad luck you dislike it guess what? /Displaybackitem On/OFF there you go others can have there capes and you can still enjoy the game.

So please everyone stop saying no thanks when you can easy display it off and it would even mess up your gameplay -.- i love how people ask to make this or that and it does mess everyone gameplay but when it something like this people go on saying no even when you give them facts and information how it would not mess there gameplay they still stay no it pretty selfish and childish.

I don't care if the game spec goes up if they add Capes you can display it off and you still can run the game on low end pc like people are now. When a new pack come out the spec most of the time goes up so i don't see why not.

What is wrong with you man? do you seriously have some kind of comprehension issue? minimum requirements never go up with a patch (what the hell is a pack? this isn't a card game) nor with an expansion, occasionally like with Cataclysm or Battleforge new patches will add support for newer DX versions, but that doesn't raise the "specs" as you like to call them (please read a bit from wikipedia before you start using terms you can't understand)
Also like i said, i could turn off capes just fine, but i can't seem to turn you off and that's the issue here, there will always be a need for more to be done, etc... you people are never satisfied, on top of it all you didn't provide any information, you just constantly repeat the "but you can turn them off" and if you really want to talk about childish consider your persistency of this issue and insistance that you know how easy/hard it would be to make something even though the DEVELOPERS SAID NO, Also you might not care that "game specs go up" but everyone else does.


Here is something else to consider for general readers: What aggravates me so much is not a request for what is essentially a useless waste of time space and energy, but these... well it'd get censored by a mod anyway... these people, and i use the term lightly, that spend all day playing games and throw around ideas with the belief (belief they impose on others) that designing, creating, and implementing a new feature or function is as easy as pushing a button, it astounds me that in 2011, when children in africa have laptops, there are people that are still this technologically devoid of any common sense and reason.

Also like i said, i could turn off capes just fine, but i can't seem to turn you off and that's the issue here, there will always be a need for more to be done, etc... you people are never satisfied, on top of it all you didn't provide any information, you just constantly repeat the "but you can turn them off" and if you really want to talk about childish consider your persistency of this issue and insistance that you know how easy/hard it would be to make something even though the DEVELOPERS SAID NO, Also you might not care that "game specs go up" but everyone else does.


Here is something else to consider for general readers: What aggravates me so much is not a request for what is essentially a useless waste of time space and energy, but these... well it'd get censored by a mod anyway... these people, and i use the term lightly, that spend all day playing games and throw around ideas with the belief (belief they impose on others) that designing, creating, and implementing a new feature or function is as easy as pushing a button, it astounds me that in 2011, when children in africa have laptops, there are people that are still this technologically devoid of any common sense and reason.

Pack i mean " expansion packs"

I have no comprehension issue i just dislike people who come on to topic and say no to something without giving a reason beside "It would look ugly" "Dumb idea" "Go back to FFXI/WOW" "Shut up troll" it's dumb and they should not even be on the forums if that all they going to say. Saying they should not add capes just because they think it going to look ugly is a dumb answer you can just turn it off if you dislike capes.

I can understand the spec issue but 3-5 years down the road i don't see why not. Anyways if they don't want to add capes then fine i can care less. But don't come on to a topic and say no due to you not wanting something when it can easy be fixed by display off/on. anyways this is my last post on this topic don't quote me because i can care less if they add cape or not then w/e i fine.

I didn't say the capes will look bad. Heck, if you know a bit of WH40k, you know the capes are gonna look awesome. What I meant is that Relic does manage to pull off very nice looking models (lots of details on the armour btw) and still manage high FPS with tons of models on screen, and their drawing distance is quite high as well. The cloth pieces are reasonable and it is NOT the standard carton cloth, they do flutter accordingly to your model movement.

I don't feel that all MMO capes look silly.

Cape2

As long as we would have the option to turn things on and off visibly, I don't see the problem.
