    I love capes but I don't think we'll see them in this game.

    For one the game's engine can't handle capes. This was mentioned during beta, and Yoshi-P even said that capes would look like pieces of cardboard stuck to your back. Looking at the models for Acheron and Odin, I figure their capes move due to being part of an animation schedule they made (basically an animation that loops unless interrupted by another schedule, ie attack animation, casting animation, and so on).

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
