adding Capes on Accessories section

[Kazamoto]

WoW was hardly the first mmo. Both Ultima Online and EQ predate WoW. Probably more that I'm not aware of. I only played UO myself and almost bought EQ.

FFXI also predates WoW.

Did the Incredibles movie teach you nothing?!

While I don't like the look of them myself, capes do have a certain FF pedigree. <3 those 8-bit caped crusaders.

Other than the aforementioned physics problems, there could be conflicts with existing gear, a lot of gear is spiky with large pauldrons (especially Darklight Tank gear and heavy darksteel) which would clip horribly and a lot of gear already has hoods (cowls) that would make hooded capes look silly.

I think capes would have needed to be in from the beginning, I think it may be too late to implement them now.

I doubt they would work well with a lot of the current armour models. Unlike WoW where everything but the shoulders and helm are pasted onto the character's skin, FF14 has actual 3D models for gear so it would probably clip terribly and just look bad. If they're to add capes then they should just be part of the chest piece.

I would absolutely love capes, especially with your fc logo on.

Seeing the one that's part of the armour of light though not sure it'd work.

[Nahara]

Not a fan of the idea. I wanna look at my armor, not a giant rug hanging off my back.

If SE ever adds any kind of cape to the game, I'm guessing it's gonna look something like the Nuevo Coselete from FFXI and it's adorable mini cape.

Please keep the beachtowels out of XIV >_>

Ive yet to come across an MMO that did 'capes' properly outside of DCUO. And even then .. They looked tacky and awful most of the time.

Yeah, City of Heroes (rest in peace, sigh) did it the best, even still. Kind of crazy how a game that was so old and now dead (sigh, again) did them better than any other mmo i'm aware of. They still sometimes looked "odd", with stretching, and behaving weirdly, but so much better than the WoW cardboard, and even other ones who glitched out more often than not. I'd rather they not do them, if they can't do it better than CoH (with physics and huge variety) then don't even bother, but often it also doesn't really add anything i feel.

I approve of Capes, Mantles, and all other forms of Back accessories. Dev's need to take notice and put this in, Even if its only Vanity, This would be an awesome Idea!!!!!
