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

Like the other poster said, there is an option in the PC version of XI that let's you toggle between dynamic/static appearance of player characters. This puts ALL PCs, including your own, into the appropriate starting race gear. You are right that's it does seem to be an option to boost performance of the game.

A similar option in this game would likely have a similar effect of increased or more stable fps.

I'd probably not use such an option but don't see the problem with it as well.
