To The Devs: A World of Individuals

[Akumu]

So you want your character to put clothes over its gear... A bit too hot, isnt it? Get some nuts, its just a game. Makes it complicated for nothing. But I dont mind.

Huh?

If this is complicated concept to anyone please explain how.

Doesnt gear have a physical aspect in this game? Why should you be able to walk around in your swimming suit and have top stats?

Why does it matter if someone walks around in a swinsuit with top stats? The only thing a party leader cares about is do you have the stats to get the job done. If you were checked by another player only the Equip Tab would be shown, so you would still know if the player is geared.

However, If a swimsuit is such an issue SE could prevent Event items from being used if that's the case. This is just an idea that I hope SE grasp the main concept of and place it in game. This by no means is an idea that must go exactly as I have written. More restrictions can be applied to such a system to prevent the game from gaining the wrong image.

The main concept is to allow starting players as well as Endgamers to achieve a desired look without the sacrifice of stats. As long as this is added to the game, Yoshi-P can add/erase/etc whatever he desires to fit his vision of FFXIV.

Why should FFXIV continue the "Endgame Clone Wars" during its life span? It's old, dull, and should be abolished. More MMOs are picking up different ways to stop the endgame cloning. I have yet to see issues arise from people complaining about how someone looked during a battle.
