Change hairstyle when change gear set

[dekal]

I'm sorry. My significant other is a hair stylist. So Even if it's just a video game, I tend to take hair related topics very seriously. I got that (and proper terminology ) drilled into my head within the first month of being together.


And no one commented on the wig idea...

I agree with this comment and a previous statement. Just because this is a video game, it doesn't mean things won't have a realistic touch. Otherwise ppl should stop complaining and deal with whatever SE does cuz they overrule anything they want since it is their fantasy shared with all of us.

I mean, we do have a flying turtle mount and soon to be flying bears, lions and coeurl mounts. Changing hairstyle via whatever methods via wigs or just styling it differently is a lot more "realistic" than these mounts. But this is SE's game, so there's that.

Anyways, I wonder if this is possible from a technical/ programing viewpoint? There's already a lot of limitations due to servers/ PS3

Memory limitations. Please look forward to it.

Considering the fact that it costs 2k or a token to change hairstyle, Are you going to want to pay that 2,000gil everytime you swap jobs?

I had thought this would be nice the other day...

I support more options.

[WellFooled]

I would use this feature for sure. I'd also love titles and (to a lesser extent) Chocobo Bardings to be assigned to gear sets.

Only if changing hairstyle while changing gear set will still cost 2k gil.
What, you want it for free? Go away.

realistically you cant change your clothes in a micro second, either, by changing what you hold in your hands...but here we are.

If you want we can go back to "1 minute wait until all changed clothes get loaded" we had during 1.0

Realistically we can't get ripped apart by a primal and then reintegrate our body a few seconds later no worse for wear either. So if I change my clothes and my hair changes with it, I will just say it come with being the WoL, a strangeness of the power of the Echo or just an excess of aether.

Do you have some personal need to sink gold at quick intervals for fear of heavy pockets? Is there some particular reason you'd absolutely want that fee still attached to changing one's haircut?

Odd, as I have footage from my playing without once seeing that occurrence in 1.0... (I might remember the textures being a little lower resolution for up to a few seconds upon the initial load, but no worse than ARR and HW's upon mildly zooming in.)

I do however often have my current item set linger wholly or on certain slots up to some 5 seconds after a gear set change in our current version.

(I also don't see why something that probably takes up no more memory than a ring slot, nor likely a rendering time any longer than that of a pair of gloves would suddenly cause laggy character loads after gear swaps.)

So your character never blinked away, reappear, blinked away, reappear, blinked away and reappear until all gears got changed during 1.x? weird.
