    With the way dye channels work in this game it should take them maybe 5 minutes to make an outfit dyeable, especially when the outfit already existed for 2 expansions.

    And don't start with the whole "It's to preserve the style of the NPC outfit" or "preserve the identity of the NPC" nonsense. You know what certainly doesn't preserve the identity of the NPC? Running through a player hub and seeing 30 clones of said NPC.

    Everything from the mog station should be dyeable, period. If that would lead to an increase in the price then so be it.

    They always have contradictory standards. Yoshida said several years ago they couldn't make gear wearable to all roles because seeing healers in armor sets would confuse players. Meanwhile, we'll ignore Frog suits and bikinis being perfectly viable "tanking" attire.

    Everything should be dyeable and not a onesie set. Would also be nice if they let you buy individual pieces. In fact, it'd likely be more profitable to them as people will buy more if they can pick and choose, especially for alts.

    Being able to buy the hair separately would be especially useful for something like the Lyse, Minfilia or Aymeric outfits. Would certainly save me some money and bag space because the first two outfits go right into the trash and the 3rd one can't even be used unless you're a male character but the hair can.


    Being able to buy individual pieces would be useful in general, I don't know how often I only needed 1 or 2 pieces from a specific outfit, be that ingame or from the mogstation.

    But my guess is that this is exactly why they aren't doing it, you have to pay for 2-3 pieces of gear that only clog up your retainer to get the 2 pieces you actually want.

    They could just let you put it in the armoire, boom problem solved.
