Capes

[Holyhunter]

They already said no. It's too expensive to create the animations for capes.

uhhhhh

Personally I'm happy they don't have capes.. I can't imagine XI having them.. Just not a fantasy feeling to me for some reason

Unless I misremember grossly, XI *did* have capes (the "back" slot). You never saw them equipped on your character, but they had them.

uhhhhh

Its one thing for the occasional Boss type enemy to have a cape and an entirely different thing to render 40 chr models running through a FATE with them on. Besides, if they did add them in I'm sure they would want it to be as realistic as possible, not like the WoW capes that look very stiff. I'm not opposed to them, I could just care less if they are there or not.

that's the Odin armor available to players.

I'm not for capes, but the excuse that they are too hard when we already have one isn't a good one.

Yeah my bad meant visible

My mistake. I thought that was an enemy model, not a player model. I did not realize they have capes in the game that are displayed. Is it a part of the chest piece? is it displayed in the game world? To the best of my knowledge they were not going to be adding in any armor for the players that had capes. Do you have any reference points I can check out that state otherwise? Where did you locate this image?

Sorry for all the questions. I like to know when I have been wrong so I can correct myself and I'm just fact checking. I'll search too but if you have info handy I'm missing you could save me some digging. Thanks!

It is a part of the chest/hands/legs/feet equip called Herkaeldi. The picture is a screencap from the website xivmodels.com, and as far as i know the cape is indeed shown in game on players.

Interesting. I'm a WAR myself and this looks like a fun vanity piece. I dont know how the stats stack up for end game stuff since its a one piece suit. I would love to see how this looks in-game. Thanks for the link, armor name, and resources! I stand corrected. Even though its just one thing that has a cape and its not something that will be easy to acquire, it does set a precedence.

Can I get tights and a mask too? I wanna play Eorzea of Heroes! .

last I checked, both of those are in the game right now, but nice try on being a smartass.

I love the cape idea. They should copy the capes from DAOC or something like that. IMO DAOC has alwaya had better capes.
