BRING BACK CAPES (mantles)!

[Eul]

Cape and topless... Ohh I can imagine it~

Possibly because XI had them, though they were invisible.

Yes, but this is XIV
The only gear type the devs can bring back in XIV are visible belts

Huh?

Guess you didnt play 1.0 1.0 you had changeable underclothes. couldnt remove them just replace them. You could craft statted versions of them. anything worn over covers them. Just like it covers underclothes now.

Mayhaps someone has a screenshot of the gear slots in 1.0 they can post?

The underclothes slots are above and under the hand slot

And there's a reason why this is the only specific place that you have a veil on the wedding dress. In an area that's instanced. A single instance per server that only allows one specific group of players at a time per 2 hour window.

Bosses like Odin who have a capes most likely animated with those in mind, not with actual physics. You can't even see it blowing into the wind because the weather would always be Hopelessness. when he's around.

Considering we had a dev/SE reply about how they were struggling with making items placable in armorire because of data limitations of all things, I don't see extra equipment slots being a thing for players.

Capes and mantels would look so good and it can add more stats and if people don't want to look at it then have a hide option on it.

I honestly didn't even notice this game has no capes. I'm happy enough with flowing hair and visible jewelry. As a compromise maybe we could have more armor with long coats?

Please for the love of god don't bring capes back. If u want capes go check out wow every class in the game uses them and every class looks just as dumb as the other

[Miakisu]

We already have capes. Check out the Ironworks Cuirass of Maiming

I am beginning to understand why they removed it...
Maybe for database reasons, but also because it kinda feels wrong to have the following exchange:
"Our tank didn't even have the tank bra and panties!"
"I finally got the uberthong!"

Yeah having statted underwear...not one of the game's better ideas.

Actually they never ended up bringing in end game underwear, just level 1 and (if I recall correctly) level 21 pieces. They also weren't class specific, only race+gender specific, and I think the only stats they had were defence and magic defence. They could be HQ'ed but that was the only stat variation and it was just more of the same. Many of the low level hempen items we have now are actually the old underwear in new slots.

Love the gif but I think capes should be in.
