It's time (Option to Hide other players Glamour)

[Moonlite]

Did you miss the parts where this is entirely an optional feature that only the person using could see? It's not like OP is asking Sqeenix to remove glamours entirely, just a feature that lets someone, on their own display, turn them off. How hard is that to understand?

And did any of your side answer how SE would make sure that people didn't take any screenshots or stream with this option on. Or how SE would implement this feature with those conditions applied.

Please don't forget we have NPCs in canon who wear the dumb animal heads too (the one that immediately comes to mind is the Custom Deliveries guy in Idyllshire.) So the game already has a strong basis for why people wear strange clothing - they're hiding from someone.

I simply assume that if someone is in a shiny neon green spotted bikini with a frog head, they are having fun and it's not my place to say how they should have fun.

Eh, I'm not opposed to the option - especially if the option is granular and you could decide for yourself if you wanted to see them in the city, overworld, or dungeons.

Personally, I'd keep the glamours running because seeing what people come up with is part of the enjoyment of the game for me. Even if it means i have to put up with the occasional Roe male in a thong and a pimp hat. XD

I had no desire to wear the wedding dress until I saw this topic. Incoming +1 big dress wearing hrothgar!

I've played them most. Cloud, Squall, Tera, Zidane didn't spend the ENTIRE game fighting the forces of opposition in a string bikini with summer sunglasses. it makes your character look stupid. And I'd like the option to hide it. That way you can "Express yourself" all you want, but people who want a more final fantasy/serious experience don't have to look at ridiculous characters that don't make any sense.

No the didnt well cloud did but that a different story but im gonna be honest here it would have made the game alot more interesting lol (not that it wasn't already interesting but yea lol )

If it's optional then fine whatever, but I do love how the op assumes that everyone who wants to be wearing a dress or the male bunny outfit on their dude has to be 100% trolling. Like that's part of their argument in that because a select few do so for that reason they gotta have this option. I do know awhile back someone asked the devs for a hey why can't we have I want to say it dealt with inventory where it was either more spaces or how the inventory was displayed and they were all we can't do that because the information packets would melt the servers. This too I feel would be one of those where the information packet would be too big and put too much strain onto the servers.

Also let's not go and use the older games as there are far more how is that supposed to protect people from swords or guns than people wearing proper armor. Yes in the past games they might have been wearing something more suitable to their role, but then you have Gau, Relm, Tera, Rosa who's wearing a white dress and not a robe, Setzer, Straego, Yang who doesn't wear a top. I mean I could go on. I've played every numbered FF and some of the non numbered ones like the insult that is Mystic Quest and the one for the GB that wasn't even an FF title to know that even in FF II where the battle system was closer to their original idea of something highly inspired by D&D that many are wearing silly outfits or ones that don't offer very much in the way of protection. Heck the Emperor even looks like a chick.

So now that we have female characters tanking in string bikini's and now men in wedding dresses, it's time to adopt an option a lot of other games have: Hide Glamour. Naturally troglodyte are going to assume it's because of the men in dresses. It's actually because it's breaks the theme and feel of it being a final fantasy game. Tanks should wear plate, healers should wear robes, and no one should be in a fight seriously wearing carbuncle slippers and lingerie.

I don't propose a limit to glamour, I just want to be able to turn off other players glamours displaying on my client. That way they can "Express" themselves all they want, and I don't have to suffer another topless male in a thong.

Screw your gender norms. More women in suits. More men in dresses. You get thongtanks only from now on.

Other than development resources, I don't think a compelling argument has been made here against having this be an optional thing.

I fail to see how some people you don't know on the internet not knowing how unique you are or how dolled up your waifu is affects you or why it deserves the amount of bickering that's in this thread. If having everyone look at you to see how wonderful/sexy/funny/obnoxious you are is that important to you, then you might need some inward reflecting.

In the end, you are playing in an MMORPG. Both the scantily clad and the ridiculously outfitted are tropes as old as time in this genre of games, so you're already fighting an insanely uphill battle, as it is.

Actually, the OPPOSITE here applies. There has really not been a good argument why development and spaghetti-code management resources needs to be spent on setting up an option that will impact all of the servers, and thus their performance, along with the consoles, just because some people are nickered about glamours that the development team have created and allowed for players access to and encouraged new ways to apply and asked for ways to improve, not remove. This is not even thinly veiled at 'I don't like men in dresses' with their later posts, and just tries to claim that ALL of the men in dresses are 'obviously trolls' and not actually players who are comfortable/happy/expressing themselves in a way they feel good about. No, they're trolls simply because others are put-off about it and thus it is 'bad'. The mascot outfits, bikiniis etc are all put in the game for players to use and thus... supported. This is all part of the MMO experience.

A friend race-changed to Viera last night from a male one and was going through their gear... flipped to one that had previously had the Valentione set on it and it looked SO BAD, I was confused... then I realized it was a mix of the YorHA and Eden set and I just was boggled. They looked HORRIBLE. That is what you want to inflict on people because y'all can't deal with society moving on. Sorry, but nah. The people who need to 'make a good case' are the ones who want to up-root and change things... inflict a massive amount of work and strain on the devs and servers... and this isn't it. It's just people being unhappy with change and offended people's tastes don't align with theirs. Oh. Well.
