Visual Gear Damage

[Jinko]

yes I know what a DAT file is, I used to mess around alot with FFXI DAT modding. and again, it is not that simple, the archaic way SE has done DATs in FFXI and in FFXIV would not allow this to be done easily. Again could not happen now, but maybe in 2.0+ would be an interesting thing to see too, but again, not something I would want them focusing on.

They are fixing that though because of the dying system.

The only problem is that when you change gear in this game the character blinks so im not sure how they could change the look of gear without that happening.

Edit:- Now that I think about it when you ready an ifrit weapon it changes appearance so its not the case.

Technically it doesn't since its effect is still there it just doesn't show while active. They'd have to redo each item to actually show the changes.
