Suggestion: Add way to preview Mog Station Glamour attires in-game!

There's a number of items on the Mog Station that I have considered in the past, but without being able to try them on first and play around with them I've been unsure. I know I can examine someone else and then try on via them, but it's sort of clunky that way.

Probably going to require an ingame Cash Shop interface

Within the terms of service, there is no option short of finding someone who has the item you're looking for.

I'm against this as it would just force a backdoor for mogstation adds to infest the game and annoying people...

However I am not opposed to a method that allows you to search and try on any piece of gear without having to find it first or examine it on another player

This would be well received.

I'm not a big MogStation shopper by any means, but this could/would go a long way towards making me spend more money on the shop. Being able to see how the items would look on my character with my chosen hairstyle/colour, etc. to check on various item combinations (and issues like clipping) would be great.

They could make it an out of the way NPC in the Gold Saucer or something that you talk to, that way people who don't like the cash shop can completely avoid it.

Its not like were at 2020 and can preview stuff in actual 3D models... lol, ik, smoll indie company.

I'd like a way to preview any gear I don't have in the game, with information on where to find it. It'd make me far more interested in running different instances if I could see what the loot looks like on my character first. Just include a toggle to hide Mog Station gear for people who don't want to see it. (And no way to buy it directly in the game, just to lower the issue of people screaming about it. You can look, but you still have to actually go to the website to buy it.)

They could make a vendor who "sells" mogstation items for a currency that doesn't exist.

Maybe in universe it could be some snobby rich person going "look at these amazing things I have that you can't peasant."

I THINK that would work for this without requiring too much extra work.

To build upon this idea, it would be an incredible addition to the game to add a function that allows you to search for ALL gear in the game, be it weapons, accessories, armour, etc. I share the desire to be able to try on gear from the mogstation so I can see how it looks on my character (and to decide if it's really worth spending upwards of $30 CAD... lol) but I also wish to be able to view dungeon gear before I spend hours and hours farming it out. Dungeon farming can be enjoyable and quick at best and soul-crushingly long at worst, so being able to try on the gear you're trying to farm and decide whether you want to put potential hours into getting specific loot would be a very welcome addition to the game.

Not really. All they need to do is make a wardrobe that allows you to preview every outfit in the game. Think of it like the Aesthetician or Character Customization screen. You'd put on the Eastern Lady Togi outfit the same way you'd put on a new hair style.

I was going to suggest the same thing.

I definitely wouldn't mind being able to specifically preview pieces on my actual character. There are some pieces I am a bit iffy about, it would for sure make some glamour easier to make without dropping 18 dollars or whatever most of the time just to see.

GW2 has a really useful wardrobe option - all skins available in game are listed in one tab and sorted by the type of armor, this kind of a feature would be pretty great here as well, especially considering the amount of sources you can get armor from.

Haha, me too.

All the attire models are in the game client, so all you need is the code to display them on your character.
WoW has by default the option to view any available gear item, and try on (only one at a time) in a small window.
They also have an addon called Mogit which can access the client models and let you build up and view a full outfit using every piece of gear in the game, save it, and use it as sort of a shopping list.. In FFXIV, I have no idea what anything looks like on my character, so I don't do glamours.

I don't know if I can link it, but I searched FF XIV gear preview or somesuch the other day and the first result works.

They could probably just load them onto the market board and just make them untradeable. I've previewed plenty of items that have a market listing but none being sold yet, might as well make that a useful feature.

Could also apply that to dungeon gear and other untradable items

I think I've asked for this before, a thread lost to time. But yes. Please god yes. If anything I'd like an /isearch available for every item from seasonal to mogstation in game so I could try on dungeon gear as well.

The image on mogstation, even when they show Roe, is not enough.

It’s been a while since I checked, but I believe every item in GuildWars 2 has a sort of barcode to it (series of numbers), allowing you to essentially link to it as if you had said item by simply linking to the barcode. Said code was available on their wiki, so it shouldn’t be hard to mimic that functionality via FFXIVs various online info portals/lodestone itself.

Considering all gears are visible as soon they are released, if someone wear them, it shouldn't be that complicated to have a function like
/preview <item name>
/try <item name>

Would be a nice feature, and eliminate the perpetual awkwardness of having to ask people in /shout if anyone can link x or y item.
