Sheathes for Weapons in FFXIV:ARR

Hey everyone, good day to you all :)
After watching the special talk session I wanted to discuss this matter with you:

[Mocchi] A certain number of players are requesting this, but will sheathes also be added?
[Yoshida] I’ll take it into consideration…with the programmers, animators and character modelers.
[Hashimoto] We’ll do our best!
[Mocchi] Thank you.
[Yoshida] I know that a sheathe is vital to perform a quick draw with a katana.

So, what do you think? Do you like the way you draw your weapon? Or do you want to see your swords (and hopefully someday: greatswords) coming out of sheathes instead?

Personally I think having sheathes will be a very nice improvement to weapons models, (when they're done right). And I hope they don't make sheathes for Kanatas only (like in XI if I remember correctly), either they make them for all weapons (katanas, swords, daggers and greatswords) or for none.

But then again you might disagree with me, since having sheathes might make the character model messy if done half-heartedly (which some people might think).

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matters.

I want sheaths for weapons. I'm sure they can do it nicely and it will be safer for my character and the citizens of Eorzea.
I almost get my throat slit every time I go into town and tall races cut me off.

Could this be the end of floating weapons?!

=D I sure hope so.

Screw sheathes, I want a Moogle pop-up book for my Arcanist.

I think sheaths will look awesome for katana, guns, and great swords.

people have problems to care about.... sheathes..


im asking myself what will they do about the chocobo companion system, to prevent people to have their chocobo companion out in fight all the time... etc.

questions like that.. and then in the live-show they ask if sheathes are going to be implemented??!! seriously... such "important questions"....

Quick draw...katana...

YES. DO IT.

Well what do you know. That looks like me as Samurai!

Yes to sheaths! They could work for "Quick Draw" and make a good defensive equipment.

I prefer seeing my weapon floating around.

I wouldn't mind a sheath for a great katana if it was used as part of the gameplay.

I agree with this. If they ever add samurai or ninja, they could add Iaido strikes to their repertoire. I'm not sure it would work well with all weapons though (bows for example) but even something like a simple leather sling or carry strap would add some aesthetics.

This again, yes we all love sheaths, but you know what i love more than sheaths....people who use the search function.

Now, I might be confused. But why are we campaigning for sheathes... For weapons that aren't even in the game.

Just putting this here so that you can look at what other people have said.

Pretty sure I do have a thread just about anything ;)

But all seriousness, I do want them realllllly badly.
