    I hope that they don't include crossover items in the shop because I feel that it would mess with lore even more than a crossover event would. These events clash with XIV lore, so we have to be given an explanation as to why they're happening, even if it is a stretch we still have something to go on. To put them straight into the cash shop with no event would create situations where players run around in non-FF gear in a FF game with literally no reason for that gear being there.

    They could have a message/mail from an "Eerie Merchant" saying the outfit you request has been finished! Here is the finished product adventurer!

    Let's take an outfit like squall's for example. It is a pretty generic leather jacket/black pants look to it. Surprise we already have leather in game! In fact we get this crazy Allagan Biometal that looks like leather gear in raids but takes an armor to repair! Garleans already use gunblades/gunlances, they have magitek armor, iron giants, iron claws, and our weapons have glows on them! If a basic outfit that has simple materials as the base was added, I don't see how that would be lore breaking while the weapon that glows with the power of a million suns is walking right beside you.

    If whatever you're shooting doesn't die after you pump 8, 32 caliber, slugs into it, it's probably a dragon.

    This. They added a storyline for Lightning Quest gear, so that was fine. If they continue to find ways to do this I would be okay with it but letting people buy outfits just to dress up like Cloud. and let's be honest there would be hundreds, would ruin a large aspect of the lore and immersion for me. let's not turn this game into one of the older games. Let's keep it FFXIV.

    The glamour system has already placed immersion pretty firmly into the toilet, with Paladins tanking in a bikini and snowman head while spanking the mob with a wooden paddle (ok, Macuahuitl, a legitimate weapon, but still...). I don't think that being able to dress up like Cloud will do a lot to change that and, to be honest, while you'd see a lot of Clouds running around at first, the novelty would die off pretty quick and they'd fall to more reasonable levels.

    And, to be perfectly fair, nothing Cloud wears is all that far removed from stuff we see folks in-game wearing, so the loss of immersion is purely because you recognize him as a character from another game. Not that that isn't a legitimate reason to feel a loss of immersion, but lore-wise it amounts to little more than finding a creative tailor.

    "Tomb raider*, Super mario" XD... The death of FFXIV as I know it - please do not do this stuff.

    And please keep activity in the shop down.


    *Tomb raider like gear might actually fit in a Midgar/Garlean like cityscape so.. maybe later - but introducing content from other games as that game ("Mario bestows his plumber hat to you") has a bunch of lore implications and not in a good way. Will just be cheap and cheesy.

    I know no ones probably ever heard of this game but how about Threads of Fate/Dewprism vanity gear and hair? It's an old Squaresoft action RPG.

    Ya know.. if there was a Magus (Chrono Trigger) costume I would totally have my glamour forever. It would likely be the only thing I would ever use the evil cash shop for.
