    CAPES

    Hi SE, i just want to know if ( in a near future) we can have capes to use, it will be so awesome to fight as a paladin wearing a long blue cape of awesomeness, i know that some kind of cloth needs all the kind of animation and have clipping issues, but anyway, make it happen please?

    I'd like capes as well. Has always been one of my favorite features cosmetically in MMO's and I'm sad sometimes that this great game doesn't have the option.

    From what I understand, SE was waiting to implement capes to allow for a more physics-focused approach than just set animations. Sadly, releasing the game on ps3 killed this idea due to its inferior processing power.

    It seems the cape on Odin's armor still exists, just isn't being drawn. If you mouse over the area behind a character with the set on, you can see the click-box is slightly larger due to some invisible back-piece of gear (at least this was true through 2.1, no idea if it was changed since then)

    Given the flamboyancy of some things, I'd wager that capes will make a presence at some point, albeit not a heavy one. It'll most likely be part of a chest/body equip design, rather than its own slot or a misc item.

    Alright... maybe a couple. One might look really good with my Ming the Merciless 'Armor of Light' Supervillian outfit I got from CT.

    Considering they've told us before that there would be no capes, why would they need to say it again?

    It's more an engine limitation. I don't think free-flowing capes can be done using the current engine FFXIV runs on. Phlegethon/Odin's capes are individually animated, not free-flowing. Just based on that alone I'd say capes aren't really possible. If they ever decide to update their engine someday in the future (maybe for the game's 10-year anniversary), maybe. I don't see it happening right now.

    * 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:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)
