Name something more immersion breaking than the new ishgard glamour

[MistakeNot]

Protip: You cannot.

SE, it's time we address the issue that keeps getting worse and worse every patch.

Every patch it seems like my sub money is being wasted on new stuff that just keeps breaking my immersion every time I try to get into this game! I remember why I raid log now, and it's not because of the lack of content, but because of all the immersion breaking stuff that I keep seeing!

I can take the chocobo costume, all the cat girls in school uniforms and 2b legging, but this new glamour just crossed the line! Why adding MODERN CLOTHING to a FANTASY game?! A fanny pack??? Sneakers??? Really??

People keep praising this game for the story, but how can anyone get immersed in it when more and more immersion breaking glamour keeps getting added?!

SE, please give us an option to hide other players glamours and please stop making the problem even worse than it currently is!

We have had plenty of modern-looking clothing since forever in the game. How have you not managed to notice this until now?
Also, while the game is mainly a fantasy game it also has a good chunk of science-fiction elements thrown into it (Omega, magitek, various mechanical beings), so it should not be surprising that dress fashion reflects this. Besides, fantasy does not automatically imply a pseudo-medieval world.

Makes the whole "class fantasy" argument pretty moot, doesn't it?

In some places in the world "fanny" is on the opposite side of a woman's body from the American word.

Commonwealthish countries would call it a bum bag instead.

Honestly, I don't see anything particularly immersion breaking about it.
There is 0 reason why Eorzeans would be incapable of coming up with the design or manufacturing the fabric / sew the clothing.

Immersion breaking to me would be something that cannot be produced or conceived by the indigenous population of the planet, which in a game like FF-XIV is almost impossible because we have several high tech cultures (Ancients, Allagans, Garleans) that could have had the idea and the technology to make it happen.

Face it: FF-XIV is not your traditional western medieval fantasy setting. It's a mish mash of times and technologies and magics that makes virtually everything possible, including fighting a giant dragon in a bikini or a frog costume.

Whenever anything is added to the game it gives people a new opportunity to complain. The complaints are always selfish. There is no thought that someone else may very well enjoy what another does not.

The option to hide glamour is a great idea! I'm tired of all these cats, lizards and bunnies with their immersion breaking glamour in Limsa.

Heh, I was running through uldar, and found this



The modern clothing with bum bag is far nicer.
