Vanity system feels more complex than it needs to be...

You can't. A feature like this cannot be given to only part of the user base like that. Also, anyone who knows how little memory the PS3 has and how game programming works knows how tight the memory is on the PS3 right now. Take Focus Targets on the PS3, they had to hide another element of the UI just to show them.

Yes you can, when its a visual difference, its easy to do, it just requires displaying a different model instead of the intended one. (which is basically what the game is doing anyway)

The saddest part though is in a few years this game is going to be held back massively because of PS3, just like FF11 was.
