Odin's Shield; Will we ever get this?

[lololink]

Size doesn't matter when you know how to use it properly, some says

And you doesn't need to block any thing when you OS everything.

I'm kind of hoping the shield would be crafted; since I have like 24 mantles just collecting dust on one of my retainers and Square-Enix won't allow me to move those mantles to my alt. T_T

+1 for Odin's shield and possible reimplementing the Cape to the body armor once Direct X11 comes out.

While the development team does not have a time frame for when Odin’s Shield will be implemented, there are plans to add a way to obtain the shield in the future.

A little OT but could the Odin armor please be broken into different slot components (chest, hands, feet, etc.) so that it can then be glamoured. Then update the vendor accordingly and put a trade in option so those that have it can trade in the one combined peice for the broken up set. Hell I'd even be cool with only being able to trade it in for one piece and then having to obtain the rest. As it is an armour piece that has stats making it only viable as a glamour yet can't be glamoured serves pretty much no purpose.

Would be nice for all multi-slot equipment. It really messes with the glamour system.

they've stated that something like that will probably never happen.

While this is awesome and all, but for the love of the Twelve, can we PLEASE get word on when the Odin armor (4-slot gear piece) and the chocobo suit (3-slot gear piece) can actually be glamoured? And for people thinking of replying with a comment such as, "But you can glamour them already if you find darklight tank armor or another piece of gear with the same amount of slots to equip over". That is not the point of these requests people keep asking for. This glamour system should encompass all gear, as long as it's acceptable by that class.

And what about putting the cape back on the Odin Armor? It was there during Beta but was taken out. Could we possibly see it put back in when Direct X 11 is usable?

People will lash out at me for this, but you might get it when PS3 is phased out. Because honestly, that is the most likely thing holding a more robust system back.
