[REQUEST] Please make these items dyeable.

[JunseiKei]

I'm just saying, if they're going to use the excuse of "can't dye character outfits because they would no longer be the character's attire", then it seems silly that we are allowed to dye their hair as wouldn't the same logic apply? Aymeric's hair dyed blonde is still Aymeric's hairstyle. Just like Lyse's jacket dyed pink would still be her jacket.

The systems that dye hair/clothes were not my focus here.

The hair is not a glamour-able item, so there's nothing that was specially made dye-able. It's not a costume piece. That's why I'm bringing up the difference of how hair and dye-able armor are made. "Dye-able hair" in FFXIV is called headgear and is applied on your head slot. It is not "hair," unlike the Lord Commander chest, feet and arm pieces that fit into a slot. While also bringing up the additional work that would be required to make them dye-able, since you said it sounds like a cop-out.

I get what you're saying, that simply the reason that making it dye-able doesn't change the fact that the model is still very much Aymeric's attire. However, what was sold was the Lord Commander's attire, not some random gear and his gear does have an iconic look to it, much as Lyse's red outfit right now, as does Hien's yellow one. It's not avoiding a commitment (because that's what cop-out means). They are selling the NPC's specific gear because people asked for Aymeric's coat.

I want to say it was during answering that question, or some other live letter, they showed Aymeric. His head is separate from the body. His body is literally the coat, arms, legs, etc. For us to even get the coat, they had to re-create it to fit with our armor system, then make sure it'll fit across all of the classes (because serious talk here, if you just took a model like this and slapped it on any race, you're going to see weird and sometimes nightmarish things come out if you did that). For the work involved, and probably a predetermined price point that they didn't want to go over (or being made sure not to go over as is likely), they probably dropped the additional work that would be required to make them dye-able.

Again, not a cop-out. Just misleading at the worst. Hope that clarifies why I'm bringing up certain aspects.

Also things like Squall's and Yuna's outfits are dyeable which makes it kind of double nonsensical. Why is one character costume okay to be dyed but the other not?

All of the characters' outfits that originate from FFXIV, and made purchasable, cannot be dyed.

All of the characters' outfits that originate from other titles, and made obtainable through various means, are dye-able.

I'm not SE, that's the only things I see in common. I'm just relaying what has already been addressed in LLPs. Asking why can none of the FFXIV NPC outfits can't be dyed while ones from other games can be sounds like an excellent question to push forward for the next LLP. Though I have a feeling you'll get a much faster version of, 'We sold their gear. THEIR gear, not a customizable one that would be YOURS.'

EDIT:
Well, the Wild Rose set cannot be dyed, either. So at least one of the out-of-FFXIV outfits break the rule of outside FFXIV, OK to dye.

Honestly, I'm more upset that Yoshi said they will NOT sell Zenos's gear because he's a villain. There goes all my hopes and dreams for Yotsuyu's hair (and the attire).
