Ingame Mogstation Outfit Preview?

A huge problem i have when contemplating purchasing an outfit from the mogstation is that i just don't know how it will look on my character. Buying an outfit for me is no small investment as i often don't have much money at any given time which has stopped me completely from making the investment because if it turns out it just doesn't work aesthetically for me then its a waste of money that could have been better spent.

So in short what im proposing is and NPC that has the mogstation outfits (not for sale) just for preview. This would help immensely in deciding whether or not to purchase outfits from the mogstation and square enix would for sure get more of my, and others money.

thoughts?

I've always thought it would be a good idea too, would also be nice if they could somehow allow hairstyle previews also.

I wouldn't mind an easy preview for cash shop items...

Preview would be really nice!

Can be in-game, in benchmark, at mogstation... It's sad we have to rely on 1) seeing someone who 2) has purchased the item 3) and wears it to be able to try it.

For now, your best bet is to go into a crowded area and shout to ask if someone can link it for you.

I forgot about this project. I spent hours creating transmogs in their outfitter, and would love to see that kind of clean catalogue for 14.

Great idea for sure. There are definitely some outfits I would have potentially purchased had I been able to see the outfit in game on my actual characters, or been able to try on individual pieces of the outfit to see how it mixes and matches with other piecse I already have and want to use.

I hope you're not suggesting they should have necro'd a thread from 2017 instead of making a new thread.

Small indie company sorry also they probably make profits from people impulse buying outfits which this would cut into.

So we want a cash shop built into the game's UI? That would be the only real way to view it in game without introducing some pop up showing news/new mog items when you log in. The pop up idea would be okay but I don't think they have the will power to resist putting in an in game cash shop, they would use this as an excuse to gauge how people would take the news assuming they would try to tackle this issue.

I made this thread in 2018 why are y'all here. Anyways. Just previewing the items off someone works well enough.

I agree.
I think it's a pro of having the store be ingame too, I've heard a lot of people say that they think it's a positive that the store isn't ingame I don't rly get that point I think it's a bit of a shallow and silly way of looking at it.
Basically '' out of sight out of mind '', but it still exists so I dunno... It's just less convenient as a result.

/shout someone link the new outfit please!

always seems to work for me

Dreamfitting, a feature allowing your Warrior of Light to try on items from the FFXIV Online Store, has been added.

By accessing the bed in any inn room and selecting "Dreamfitting," you may try on products from the Online Store individually or by set outfits.

You may also use the "Search for Item" subcommand while Dreamfitting.
* You may confirm effects of dyeing by accessing the "Enable Dye Preview" subcommand via the "Try On" feature.

It took 4 years but now you have what you asked for :D

I wonder how long it'll take until people start complaining that they can't preview anywhere, that they have to go to an Inn to be able to preview Mog-station items.

They're probably doing it already. :rolleyes:

Yes! It'd show they cared about their customers, so I don't see how it wouldn't be a good thing~

It started the moment they announced in the Live Letter that it could only be done in an inn.

They were already complaining in chat during the Live Letter.

I probably won't use this much but I really like the idea. I like that you can try the individual pieces. And the shop isn't actually in-game so you still have to out to the Mogstation for the items. I think it's a good compromise.

Honestly, hearing this I'm not surprised one bit.
I actually expected it.

Definitely happy they are including this, and I'm happy they took the extra step of letting you not only preview individual pieces in conjunction with pieces you already have but also let you try out dyes. That said, I still don't want any store links or advertisements to appear anywhere else in the game.

I know it's not much help with what you asked for, but increase the size of the preview window to max (I think it's 200%).
At least it helps somewhat.

That sounds way more complicated for testing, and personally I'm happy with the standard preview screen (scaled up as big as it can to fit the screen). All I want is to be able to try bits on and have them apply in the normal "save outfit" mode so I can move from there to the marketboard to try combining it with things.

My main hope is that they will expand the system to include trying on dungeon and raid gear, and possibly everything in the game so I don't need to visit umpteen vendors across the expansions to try on items.
