Thread: A request for Capes & Cloaks

Any chance we can have some cloaks in the future and have them display on our character on screen? Also have some that go all the way to the ground?

I love having a nice long cloak on when I travel around in a rpg. To deal with the issue of having the shield on your back maybe can make the shield "auto-hide" when not in active mode. If there's any performance issues can make the dispay of the clock itself an option just like with shadows.

To make it more interesting can make it a so you need to unlock the ability to wear one.

Also, this seems like a wow idea, cloaks and quests to wear cloaks, why not request a pet shop while you're at it?

I'm a FFXI players and i agree we should have capes each jobs can have there own type of cape.

Samurai can wear the capes that in bleach that only the captain wear. "When they add samurai"
THF " Can have the cape that "assassin's creed" have" When they add "THF"
White mage "Can have a type of rope that goes over the top of there body
Black mage "Can have a vincent type cape"

you get the picture by now you can make cape for only jobs and some other stuff like cape for city or even for your linkshell.

We should not be limit to this just because you dislike the idea. You don't like capes? don't wear it or /backitem Off/ON that would fix this issue for you.

should not limit players on stuff when you can have it, And the pets lol **** i would not mind having a little pet chocobo walking by me o.o you have issue with that? Petsdisplay ON/OFF.

see what i did there? anything that make other party not like it then make it so you can turn it off or on there you go don't dislike something when other may like this.

No capes in the near future.

Unfortunately, implementing capes is difficult, and we have no concrete plans for them currently.

Capes would of course need to be fluttering and waving, but to to so would require a large upgrade in the game specs and we decided that it would be impractical.

マントで求められる、肩から腰を超えた長い装備を同様にヒラヒラユラユラするには、それを実現するためのモデルデータの都合上、難易度が非常に高いものとなる、ということでした。

Let me clarify what I meant:

It's not that fluttering and waving are impossible, as you can currently see such motion on equipment like skirts.

It's just that capes are large, spanning from the shoulder to the hips, and the model data required for rendering such a large area with fluttering and waving would be too high an increase to be practical.

Ya that what i mean by upgrade, i can't believe that have to upgrade the min specs just so they can add capes so we never going to get capes too a Pack due to this issue? i like to hear this from a dev team.

What they meant is that, everything in the game is physic heavy and adding cape would be too much work involved. Capes in MMOs like WoW or single player like Dynasty Warrior, they are pretty much static piece of lolwut that does not flutter.

Like what they did with FF: Spirit Within, they boast that each of Aki Ross's 60,000 hairs was separately and fully animated and rendered.

Ya i was talking about it over with my gf and i forgot all the stuff that can put a lot of heavy on the game. Shadows for the capes and such.

Ya they were saying that they can do it, and the game engine is more than capable, but it would take effort to put it in for alot of people PC's to not cope.
