Dual Wielding//Character customization

[Chong]

To be honest this feels like another "I want a sword wielding DPS!" Thread

Dual-wielding is cool, but just because you like it, doesn't mean it has to be in the game.
Besides, Rogues and Ninjas already dual-wield.

And as for dyeable muscle shirts, look for Hempen Undershirt (pictured below, dyed green). It doesn't look exactly like a muscle shirt, but it's close enough.

"Dual-wielding is cool, but just because you like it, doesn't mean it has to be in the game"
it doesnt HAVE TO...nothing HAS to be any game...but arn't the games better with those options in them???

If they didnt add the option for duel wielding? Then all the other gamers who never wanted it to begin with are happy...if they DO add it? then nothing changes for those gamers who never wanted it in the first place bcc they wont use it, but for those who do want it...its there to be used...then everyone's happy. (having said that i again understand how hard it is for game developers to try and sift through the wants of us players and prioritize them. Its a HARD job...for me its all about how the avatar looks and plays, its style. I like MMO'S with extensive customization both in looks and stats. (and skills) FFO is the closest ive found to what i like)

I understand that for MMO games its hard to create truly custom characters bcc of game mechanics and other things...this goes into another debate about one on one pvp...and which class would be more dominate over the other...but it would be amazing if the game went in that direction and the strength of your character was determined by how much work u put into it, skills aquired in game, stat allocation, cross class skills, unique skills (dont have those in this game) just having this...pool of stuff to build your character with, and how you build is your choice. but thats another debate. For now...looks and a possible new class/skill/passive ability of dual wielding is what im after.

Eorzea is a world with flying turtles so...anything is possible lol. Just gotta let the dev team know what we want.

I actually like that a lot. The problem is (and this is going back to my second point on this thread) i cant wear my bohemian coat overtop that muscle shirt...it automatically gives me that blue shirt thing Snow wears. I wish there was an option to utilize JUST the coat so i could use that muscle shirt u suggested here. That would be awesome.

The bohemian coat + shirt is one whole object which is why you can't modify it. They would have to completely redesign it if you wanted to remove the part that goes under. It's kind of like saying you wish they would make a burger without the beef patty in the middle. That's not a burger you want... It's bread. Leave the burger be!

Actually that analogy isnt accurate. What i want is like saying "Id like a burger with everything on it, except mayo or pickles" Im still getting what I want, (the coat...or in this case a burger) just getting it my way. Thats why this thread (and others like it) involve saying things like adding MORE customization. I understand why i cant remove the shirt from the bohemian coat, i know its one option. But i would like it not to be in the future. I have a lot of faith and i believe in our game developers. So im voicing it.

I should probably mention too that my personality thrives off customization and finding loop holes/ways/people in order to achieve a goal...

a good example would be my car.... my car has a custom engine out of a different car and a different look to it than stock, long story short, its faster, more fuel efficient, aerodynamic and looks cooler...all wins.....but it DOES NOT look like it could not have COME that way from the factory...it's not like i put jet wings on it) I like having things that are different? but not SO different that it fies in the face of EVERYTHING...if i buy a car? i wont keep it stock looking or stock performing...ill make it look different than every other factory car out on the road in its class(without re-inventing the wheel)...but im not gonna make a Scion look like a Ferrari if you know what i mean. And i also know a lot of ppl are NOT like that, and they are perfectly happy with what comes form the factory and its factory options. (Like not having a duel wielding ability in FFO....until we do) And thats cool.

But yeah there are others like me who love taking those factory things from the box and the first thing that pops into there mind is...(now how can i make this thing better/more fun/unique to myself) Thats me. So i understand if this mindset doesnt jive with some ppl, and some of you arn't supporting/understanding where im coming from. I like discussing why it might or might not work in a game??? bcc i dont wanna ruin the game or (make a scion out of a Ferrari) And i appreciate everyone, the community of FFO is another huge reason why i joined up. I really hope they will add this in some way in the future!

There are tons of people like these on the forums, but in reality, much like your car example, things have limitations. Just like you can't upgrade your engines output preformance without upgrading your brakes so you can stop easily from a higher speed, SE can't just add things without looking at what it can and will effect in game. A lot of times its better to just let things be and not worry about it because it will cause more cons than pros in the end.
