Vanity slot restriction concerns.....

[SorriorDragneel]

Yes i too want few restrictions.I get class restrictions by and large(as you said about casual clothes) but seasonal I WOULD like to use even if just for fun.

[BreathlessTao]

I agree with most ideas, however I'd like to point out one thing. Please stop putting so much emphasis on "lore reasons", because that doesn't make sense either. Even the name generator didn't get the lore-only-random-names restriction either, so as long as I see characters running around with names like Salmonella Chan or Falafel The'usurper, the whole "lore incompatibility breaks immersion" thing is kind of pointless to even be considered. I mean, really?

And actually I don't think class-restrictions make sense either, not in this game. A simple class/level check - sure, but not to be able to wear, idk, PLD armour for display, at all, with a Grimoire equipped, even though I potentially have both classes not only unlocked but perhaps finished (lv50) too, well... sounds rather silly to me.

What precisely is the point of a vanity slot in this game if it's encumbered by all the asinine restrictions like the ones outlines in this topic? We already have the ability to change gear at will to anything without our class or discipline. Limiting the gear in the vanity slot in the same manner makes it an utterly pointless addition. Not to mention this question. What's wrong with wearing a bikini into battle? What precisely is the Colosseum gear for otherwise? female warriors wearing precious little in the way of armor is pretty standard fair in fantasy settings. I didn't notice Tifa tooling up in Darklight when she fought in FFVII. If you are that concerned with the lore of the game world, then perhaps you need to spend more time objecting to Lightning showing up rather than warriors in bikinis.

Sign me up, sound like a plan to me

Nice thread necro...

The only restrictions I remember seeing were PvP and to your current class style armor.

Seasonal gear should NOT be restricted imo. What if I change into a Mi'qote with a future phantasia bottle and I want to walk around and fight in my swimsuit ? I think the toggle button is an excellent idea and is a possible solution to all restrictions really.

...The only restrictions I remember seeing were PvP....

Still peeved that they're doing this. Most of the justifications for it don't even exist in this game (all the strategic powers are linked to materia/moves. Costumes are shared between classes).

[Gumbercules]

I see it following the "gear type" restriction to be honest, for example plate to plate (maybe in this case could have it be plate/mail into plate/mail since the graphics are a bit more forgiving) cloth to cloth leather to leather etc. I personally am not a fan of vanity slot style systems because I do not like the idea of bikini clad tanks and and mages in snowmen suits. Yoshi did hint at the vanity system being your "casual" clothes though so maybe it will be completely open and instantly equip/show your actual current gear while in combat/instances/raids and this is a system i could live with.

I do hope there are nearly no vanity restrictions. A toggle for ignoring other player's vanity, with it defaulting on in PVP, is a fine compromise.

And even those are far too much.
