Changes to Existing Items and the Monetary System in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Rebor

[Matsume]

I think it is appropriate since it is an official announcement on the front page and it is laying out the details, one of which is the fact that the gil cap will not be reduced, they are just lowering the amount of gil we have which is contrary to what we were previosuly told. Their intent is to lower the amount of gil going around and lower the prices of transactions but how long will it be before we see things going for 30 mil again at this point?

No it's not appropriate because the official post is a statement of fact whereas speculating on the outcome is beyond the realm of comprehension. We don't need another 1000+post thread discussing what may or may not happen in the future- just post the facts for once, please.

It is appropriate, just like it's appropriate to state that there's actually zero reason to remove player bazaars (when even the most generic of MMORPG lets players set their own bazaar/shops) and the fact the changes to underwear and waist display is purely on a cosmetic level.

Or did you not actually read the announcement?

I'd like to know how will they handle waist equipment like sashes or equipment that had belts considered when they were designed like Tabards/Chainmails, which look ridiculous without a belt.

I don't like this at all...

In 2.0 the belt grafic is part of the body model. If Se make a Tabard with belt than you see this belt every time you equip the tabard regardless of what belt you wear.

Yep, though some people like the sash look over certain armors.

Don't forget that this will handicap customization, not only will it stop you from equiping the waist piece of your choice to to your armor, but I suspect that dyeing a shirt will effect the waist too and rob tasteless people the joy of rquiping a red sash to a purple shirt.

the usual pessimism. They can always change a little the skin to attach a belt on it

The thing is players weren't using Bazaars to sell items, just as extra storage while I know this would have been easily solved by keeping bazaar items in your inventory it has shown that the player bazaar system is not really needed, and a personal shop is just the same system as the retainer system, except you don't have to afk in rolmart overnight to sell things.

All I am really sad about is waist gear will not be displayed, /cry but on the upside I can go all Reinhart and don a sexy subligar and not have to worry about a sash covering everything up.

The one bright side I can think of is that maybe now we won't be stuck with a 1 color belt to match the 4 cuirasses we have (Cobalt silver/red/blue and milita white).

I still don't like this, they better blow us away with new gear designs to make up for this.

I seen a lot use bazaars for selling, it's just the way they work makes it annoying to use lol. If they fixed that I know people will use it a lot more, especially since people seemingly complain all day about "MW suuuuuuuucks!"
