Question and concerns about the vanity sytem..

[Edellis]

what about MY immersion, its my char, i pay the sub, i unlocked the gear, after all, why go thru the work of unlocking special or seasonal gear if we cant use it?

Well that's what the discussion is about. You paid the sub, you unlocked the gear, but the developers have no obligation to make the clothing you want to wear have stats they didnt intend for them to have. Of course they themselves mentioned they're adding vanity slots, so now we're just guessing over how lenient the system will be.

The whole point is, you CAN use the seasonal gear. It works. I use it all the time. There's no restriction to wearing it, but there are consequences as they are not battle-intended. But on the subject of "your immersion vs. my immersion", this is really more like "How it is vs. How i think it should be".

But anyone who argues that the current setup of gear/stat relationship is somehow independent of global immersion really is just being egocentric. If Square didn't care, then they'd have made it "equip what you want" and then created a bunch of random manga outfits for you to throw on.

You know. Like XIII-3.
