Thoughts on the Yoshi P AMA?

I like that even if some things aren't a priority atm that they are on a list and that they are at least thinking about these things. Even if they won't get rid or give us an option to hide the mch lunchboxes I would hope that at least one of them would want to decorate them. Samurai's sheaths and Astrologian's card holders have always had different looks to them that went with the look the weapon they use looked like. Even if it might be that the sheath got more attention than the sword most of the time. They still weren't a plain always the same look that Mch's lunchboxes have been since day one.

Katana sheathes (and handles) do get all the fancy design work because the setup doesn't allow for the actual blades to be ornate, but the card holders have less variety than you're assuming. They're treated as individual to each star globe, but it's always the same model, just with a different colour scheme.

Same model different color scheme is still more than same box and look since it's first appearance. It would be like if cars still looked like a model T and only came in black. Even if I'm stuck with the Model T for looks I would hope that I could at least get it in a different color pattern. And Yes I know many MCH really would love an emperor's new lunchbox option where it is hidden from view cause of all sorts or reasons. Yet any time someone has asked for the ability to hide it in any shape or form we get told that it can't happen. So if that isn't on the table then could they at least change up how the damn thing looks like? As for at least then people could design an outfit that didn't have it clash all the time.

Different situation though, because it's meant to be one consistent (and recently invented) device that you're using in combination with an assortment of guns you've acquired from other sources.

To continue your car analogy, it's not that all cars ever manufactured look like Model T, rather that it is the equivalent of 1908 and you have a new and shiny Model T that you are using all the time.

Even if it's supposed to be something fairly recent invention wise I doubt every user is going to keep it looking or even want to keep it looking as fresh off the assembly line the day they got it. Someone will have put stickers on it or painted some graffiti on it. Maybe it has some scuff marks. Just like with a car a person might want to change out the hubcaps their car came with; with something else that fits their style. Slap on a "I'm a proud parent of an honor student" bumper sticker equivalent. Or hot rod flames down the sides. You know for that person who loves Hades soul fragment purple. Or you know maybe Inventingway somehow got a hold of it and slapped on some LED lights on the outside.

Sure, but actual customisation requires you to really own one single item, whereas this is a combination of two things: by lore, a single item, and by the way the game functions, identical copies of the item attached to every weapon.

To be able to customise it, they would have to totally rearrange how their system handles the equipment.

Which I understand and probably why they have repeatedly said hiding them or removing them is a no can do. Why I am in the could they at least change in color camp. I'm willing to accept that at least how they currently are the devs probably unable to give us an option to remove or hide them. I as I have said just want them to stop looking the same way they always have is all. I doubt I'm the only one who would also settle for what could be seen as a compromise if the box could match the gun in color scheme at least.
