Faerie Aesthetics - What We Want vs What We Got

[Eraden]

What we want:



What we got:



Don't get me wrong, the Anden quest was cute, but his helmet I just don't care for, and I'm a bit frustrated at rewards from Pixie content... The ONLY real Fae attire we have is from Mog Station, and it's nowhere near as pretty as the Titania Dress & Wings. No Pixie glam, no wing mounts (the ones we got don't even have unique emotes like Umbrellas do) and I keep thinking the dev team doesn't quite get why some of us would love more Faerie/Pixie inspired attires.

Mao was kinda wonderings about this. In GW2 can has wings that are FUNCTIONAL and can be dyed. Here can has only glam that can't be dyed and can't function and is only good for standings around like clothing store mannequin.

While our wings can't be dyed, the fashion accessories that currently exist are as functional as GW2 wings, and will move accordingly as you jump/fall, wings with more functionality than that are just skins for the Glider, which FFXIV doesn't even have a proper equivalent to, in fact it would largely be a completely obsolete system in FFXIV, since here mounts just have outright unlimited flight.

There is actually a funny quirk around this, if you are wearing the same skin for your back item as your glider skin, the back item will shrink and disapear for a moment when you pop out your glider, because the game will still treat them as different models even if they are the same, it's something very relevant to me as I use Archdemon Wings as part of my standard look in GW2.
