FFXI's gear swap was like having extra skills.

Yeaaah the way the inventory works in this game... this would just be awful. and as others have pointed out.... it's just silly...

Hold on, I can't do this skill til I change my pants...

No.

I wasn't talking about the mechanic of swapping gear in the game.

I'm talking about the reality of what a gear swap is.

The function of it in the game was interesting... but the notion that it's possible, in the middle of combat, to disrobe completely and regarb yourself in different gear for specific actions is absurd to the point of ludicrous.

Yes it can be done in a game because it can be programmed... but it doesn't make the idea of it any less silly.
