[Request]: Option to Hide Angel Wings

Please SE, either add an option for players to hide the angel wings with the new store armor, or offer a second version without the wings. I love the coat, I love the gloves, the pants, the boots, even the head piece isn't bad (I like the chain but could leave the Halo, maybe a /visor effect), but the wings absolutely ruin the coat.

I'd be more likely to buy it if this were an option.

I understand some people like the wings, but I'd also like to have a wing-less option. I'm sure the modders (who some people on the forums are afraid of) will come up with a client-sided "fix", but I'd like an official version.

Can't players stop begging for requests like this one? "Please add this, please remove that, please change those..." When you go to a clothes store, do you ask for the the staff to change something you don't like? NO, you just don't buy it. It's the same here. If you don't like the item, deal with it and don't buy it.

Are you serious? I think that including a wing-less option is reasonable. I don't know why you shoot the "don't buy it" thing when they like most of the piece except for the wings, which can be addressed by offering an alternative.

Just don't buy it then !

I would love a wingless variation. I'm actually happy now, because I managed to pull off a badass Archangel look for my Dark Knight. But I'd still like to only have the robes without the wings.

Yes, it's called a tailor.

The tailor would probably need to be the Korean (or was it Chinese) developers. I suppose there is no harm in asking but I think the North American/European community is lucky to get the wings as it is let alone expect those developers to redevelop and give people an option to hide the wings.

Unlucky enough, perhaps...

I didn't know Marks and Spencer had tailors on site to remove stuff I don't like from their clothes.

It won't happen. Anything related on masking and obscuring other player's glamours won't ever happen for the simple reason that SE sells and people buy glamours to be seen by others.

I figure it's a shot in the dark and unlikely either way but still felt like asking. I think it's more unlikely to change just because I'm not sure if SE has the rights to modify the outfit which was created by another studio. They have the right to redistribute it in NA/EU now, but I don't know about modification.

Assuming either they gave us an option to hide it with /visor or just sold a version without wings, I think it wouldn't really interfere with individual's glamour choices.

How about the option to hide all this visual clutter (and the flaming segway) from my screen? I didn't buy it, but it's such an eyesore.

You pay your money, you take your chances

I would absolutely love and support a wingless version of this jacket. ...Available in the base game.

You're not going to get a special toggle created just for one outfit lol. Going with the tailor analogy, its like going to a store that you know doesnt have an onsite tailor, buying an outfit, and requesting after the fact that they hire one full time.

Maybe they could create a non-winged version and sell it separate (or better yet, include it. ha. ha.). But realistically its a pretty generic looking robe. Arent there several already ingame that more or less look like it? I mean, taste is subjective sure but that'd be catering to a pretty narrow range of players. I think most people who bought it were interested in the wings.

Actually I got the angel set for the halo. Was hoping /visor would hide the little tiara/forehead necklace thing. Nope. Oh well xD

Was probably the first things they came up with actually. From what I saw theres several variants already available. Despite the hubbub on the forums over the last 2 days, most of the discords that I've seen have already moved on from this as it was basically one big joke to most lol. But yea an official version would be nice but there are sufficient workarounds for most people.

People requested again and again for the angel/demon outfits to be non-exclusive and when it happens... now they don't like them?

This is exactly what was asked for. :confused:

Hate to say it. I hate the "table cloth" texture of the coat itself... I would much rather be able to add these wings to my normal outfit. So I would rather have the toggle to hide the coat. =p

For some reason I get the feeling if SE were to ever do something like this instead of making it an in-game option they would just sell a wingless version on the mogstation.

People want to be seen with those wings? They look awful. An option to hide them isn't for those that wear them, it's for those that don't.

I mean, if they don't, in real life you could make the alterations yourself or take it to a shop to have it done. In-game your options are...somewhat more limited.

That's one heck of a bait post.

Thats not really a bait to my eyes, the way i see it, people are complaining yet again for little things, the robe is fugly (to my eyes) and since i main a healer, all robes are fugly. These people probably don't main a caster, which is why they think the robe looks good, but its an eyesore tbh.


On Topic: If they don't want the wing, just get a caster class with a caster robe tbh, same goddamn thing. But i know 90% of the people (I saw a bunch like that) that i saw only used the angel halo and nothing else, which was kind of funny, 18$ for a headpiece...

I doubt gonna happen becouse exclusives from another country, if was from here then maybe.

You can be a caster and still like robes. Suggesting someone just "wear different robes" is no less silly than you thinking that requesting a simple change to an armor piece is complaining. Also it's a bait post because anyone could easily realize how stupid it would be to bring up real life clothing. Which, depending on where and what you're buying can be heavily customized, if not by the person offering the product or you yourself with some tailoring skills.

If you don't like the robe that's cool, but remember, not everyone is you.

It's not bait because some people are getting tired that threads like THIS are what get momentum in the community, while other more legitimate problems are scoffed at.

I'd go one step further and request a check box that replaces all cash shop stuff with level one hooded mage robes

Or, easier still to implement, the ability to turn off Glamour views for all characters. Every time someone enters a dungeon with a bikini, it just emphasizes that much more the trashy, F2P-style approach SE has taken to FFXIV. Let me remove that stupid shit from my experience, at least.

Is it the existence of bikini outfits or the ability to glamour gear which makes SE's approach trashy in your eyes?

Totally agree that we should be able to turn off glamours client side. The more we can customize our game experience, the better. It could be like the sound settings and have a check box for self, party and other player characters.

I like the option to not see them, they look really bad, especially on moving characters.

Would a mod that removes them also remove them for me when looking at others? I'd definitely be tempted to install such a thing.
