Remove Weapon Rack from Strife Vest

[WellFooled]

The sheathes are apart of the costume therefore they are iconic, it bugs me because people think they're entitled to having past Final Fantasy characters costumes changed to suit their needs.

This post is pure idiocy. It would be effortless to simply add a on/off feature to the ugly sheath.

All you brought to this thread is pure ignorance and calling me an idiot whilst outing yourself as one later bbz.

You two are fighting like grade schoolers. Breath in and out a few times before you post again. Adults keep cool when they're disagreeing with someone, children do not. You aren't children.

Now, Cloud doesn't wear the sheath in every scene during Advent Children.

Sheath On:

Sheath Off:

Nor does he wear it in Kingdom Hearts.



So iconic or not, there is precedent for the outfit appearing without a sheath so its not unreasonable to want it. That said, it would mean work and resources to create a 2nd, augmented version, of the vest. Resources SE might choose to spend elsewhere.

...a PS2 game.

Because they had the polys to spare back then, righty? *rolls eyes* Skipping posts with counter arguments is pretty lame.

As for those screengrabs - of course he doesn't have the sheath in the second, he's just respawned from the lifestream again?

My apologies, when I was composing the post you hadn't yet posted your counter arguments. It took awhile to capture the screen grabs, crop them, and host them .

As for your first argument, saving polygons might be the reason why it wasn't included, but it doesn't change the fact that he wasn't wearing the sheath. If he wasn't wearing it in one game, it sets the precedent for the outfit to appear without it in another, regardless of whether polygons still need to be saved. It isn't intrinsic to the outfit, so the outfit can exist either with it or without it (for another example, a lot of figurines of Cloud in that outfit don't include the sheath).

And for your second argument, I'll be honest, I don't remember the circumstances surrounding the screenshot I posted. Is there something in particular that happened that would result in him not wearing a sheath, but keep his clothes and motorcycle intact?

EDIT:

Semantics. He doesn't have the weapon rack in any Dissidia game.

The first link was the original Dissidia.

And here's the Arcade/PS4 version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O97LK_QQpBo

What the hell do you want from me? Show me a source outside of FFXIV and Advent Children where Cloud has the weapon rack, please. Because I'm coming up with squat.

The problem with these two examples is that it isn't the outfit in question. Those are both variations of his original clothes from FFVII (which never had a sheath), the outfit with the sheath attached being discussed are his clothes from Advent Children.

My bad - I saw the green and thought that was from the pool sequence at the end. It's not, it's outside Aerith's church, in the Denzel flashback. He doesn't have it on, or the shot with Denzel cuddled up behind him on Fenrir wouldn't work.

He also doesn't need the sheath at this point, either - the swords are stored in Fenrir, and he's a delivery boy circa this point in time.
