[Suggestion] Fashion/Vanity Slots.

[Duelle]

I asked Erren Van Duine to ask Yoshi-P about this thread for the interview. Thank you for asking. Just too bad about the answer. Really hope we get it in the future.

And the answer is a bit silly imo, the very idea was that classes and jobs can only use gear they can wear anyway for their fashion slots. @.@" Oh well, let's not give up hope.

Mr Fluffy Snurble Camate, please pass on this tiny little detail to the devs sometime. Aka: Fashion Slots only let you equip what your class can normally wear anyway. ^_^

You sly dog, you. Either way, I agree that the reasoning presented is more like a stalling tactic. Specially considering how specific the restrictions are as per the OP. I'd like to have a feature like this a little sooner than after 8 years into the game's life as an attempt to give people things to do. Transmog was introduced in WoW as a desperation move to save subscriptions along with Raid Finder (both were supposed to be part of the next expansion but were released early after that game lost about 2 million subscriptions). I don't want XIV to wait that long before introducing such a system.

I'll second Buttons' motion to have the details on the OP and the suggested restrictions on the system presented to the developers.

It's a real shame all that cool armor such as artifact, or darklight goes to waste. I mean they are all vanity gear anyway.

Why can't it be allowed for Disciples of Magic/War to wear the gear that falls under their category. Like I love how Paladin gear looks, but melded armor is obviously better, so why can't I, only as paladin, be allowed to put paladin AF into a vanity slot.

Or that damned militia robes, it's blue, very hard to be a red wizard when you wear blue. Not that I have one, just saying why can't I have a vanity slot with a red robe if I wanted to.

We feel your pain, dude. We all feel your pain. I'm hoping something is mentioned at some point. Until then, we have to do our part to keep the hope alive.

I am sorry when ever you say something I have to add that hysteical post you made a while back with adventure time. I'm ready brad, isn't it obvi...

But seriously, gonna try to keep it alive.

Ya it's a shame that everyone is currently doomed to looking like they were dressed in the dark in someone else wardrobe

[Velhart]

It is a shame. I thought Yoshida would of understood that not everyone wants to look the same. Blizzard and other MMO's realized this, I don't understand why SE can't. You can definitely set restrictions. I still believe his excuse for not having it feels invalid.

We need confirmation on this, I would like to wear things like AF/Dalamud Horn/seasonal outfits but this is impossible while they are useless, vanity slots would be the easiest fix for this, whilst not changing stats.

[AlphaDragoon]

That is a majorly weaksauce reason for not including vanity slots.

I seriously hope they reconsider. For those who are truly "unable" to distinguish without seeing crappy mismatched min/maxer gear on other players, just put the option to turn vanity slots off visually for your game.

Only total weirdos are against this idea.
