the immersion problem made by glams

[Krotoan]

Personally a fan of being able to change what I see on my own client.

LOTS of discussion about that here though:
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...ers-Glamour%29


Everything I have to say about it is in that thread and every argument against it is also proposed. If you want the forum perspective it's all there. .. it's a LOT.. but it's all there.

So why did we need a new thread on this when a much larger one exists already?

Given the setting of the game I'd say the only thing immersion breaking is the people complaining that their immersion is being hurt.

I am not glamour, the word is icky. We transmog, that is what we call it, and what i will always call it.

I don't really have any issue with modern style clothes, especially since modern or anachronistic designs have been part of FF nearly since the very beginning. That said, I would much rather there not be people running around in frog suits, chocobo suits, pig suits, etc. That's far more immersion breaking to me than someone wearing what appears to be blue jeans.

They should just copy the FFXI system, it would open up a new world of possibilities and then maybe (some of) the people wearing Sims or mascot outfits won't feel like those are their only options anymore...

written like a true WoW player.

figured I should edit this so you dont get insulted. All I am saying and meaning is, this is a new game to you. There will be many unfamiliar things and terms, just because they are not your WoW terms does not make them better, or worse, just means they are different. Trying new things is good, helps you understand what you like or dislike in a game. We were all new here at some point, so while many may not display that well, we do understand that change can be frightening. All you can do, is to embrace it and try to have a good attitude when you meet others. No one will laugh at you in game if you slip up and call it a transmog, though, its likely they may not know what you are talking about. If you can patiently explain that to them, it will go a long way

In the end, whether you decide to stay or go, hopefully you manage to enjoy some aspect of the game.

I will continue to wear jeans and t-shirts and more "modern" and casual outfits as long as the game continues to try and push robes and skirts when I don't want them.

No that's in canon too. The Gremlins in a Lakeland fate accuse you of breaking their immersion.

I imagine if implementing something like this was as easy as typing in a few lines of code and flipping a switch, it would have made it into the game already. But technical complications aside, I'll never understand why people looking for a purely immersive experience pick MMOs as their game of choice, especially when the company behind this one is famous for its amazing library of single-player RPGs. No matter how many toggles and arbitrary rules you try to see enforced, there will always be people running around with silly, non-RP names, saying and/or doing things that aren't in-line with whatever fantasy universe they find themselves in.

Considering none of this nonsense shows up in your cutscenes, I honestly fail to see how it's 'immersion breaking'. Worse case scenario, someone's pig suit makes it into your dungeon cutscene, but you can review it later in your inn without those pesky other players, so no real harm done either way.
