[Suggestion] Fashion/Vanity Slots.

[KindCoffee]

Oh this would be so cool! I love wearing my AF gear (hat) but due to the stats it looks out of place with the AF body and a woolen hat (red) or something, I'm sure you know what I mean!

The people who don't like this idea either didn't play XI, or forgot about the many instances of hideous-but-best-slot-piece-for-many-jobs equipment.




I never want to see things like this again...

You forgot:



My friend dragged me kicking and screaming to her shell's O-hat runs. It's so hideous that I wanted nothing to do with it.

Does this mean I can tank with "Uber gear" and look like I am wearing nothing but swimtrunks/subligars?
I can become AN TRUE HERO!

on a serious note: I like this idea.

When I got my hat, I was so new to the game that I didn't really realize what I was getting, just that it was a piece that I *must* have and I was super lucky to be taken along to a run for it. (My *mentor* at the time was doing O-hat runs with her ls and took me along).

Once I saw how horrible that thing looked, I wanted to lie and say I didn't have one, so that I wouldn't have to wear it. Same goes for that stupid turban.

Loved it in other games and shamelessly will buy the better looking gear instead of the better stat stacked one if I can help it... Think of the aesthetically dependent!

Time to bump this again so the reps hopefully see it. ^_^/

Mr. Buttons
The community devs are known to toss responses to posts that are several, several months old when an answer about them finally comes by.
I am very sure that by now the devteam is aware of this idea, and simply lacks a response. So continuously bumping this without further input is needless, I believe

There will always be gear that some people don't like the look of, and people have their favorite looks

FFXi had a lot of gear that was almost universally panned as hideous yet was the best gear for that slot at the time. There is and will be gear that stands out as "cool looking" and "hideous" that most people can agree on.

There was also gear that looked good but went entirely to waste because of horrible itemization. Like the Amir set obtainable through assaults. Nice-looking set, but you had no reason to actually wear it.

This thread is sassy but I really enjoy the fact people are bringing up the unique armors from FFXI. I remember having to wear mismatch gear just so I can be optimized, but had to make a macro for when I go into cities I didn't have to wear it. Haha!
