China is getting wings

[PandaShake]

I'm glad it's part of the chest piece. For a moment, I thought there was now a cosmetic slot. I was afraid ffxiv was going to turn crazy tacky with flame wings, bat wings, etc if it makes it over here. I can't remember which mmo, but I remember seeing screenshot a f2p mmo with everyone having crazy wings loitering in town.

I don't think they are gonna add a cosmetic slot like that Just for China, that is as much a technical thing as egi-glamours.

Also The ship has already sailed with the i110 NIN gear (AKA one of my glamours :P)

So far its very limited, the two outfits and the aforementioned PvP gear aside the only other Gearsets with wings at all are the Dreadwyrm Gear. Now How many people use that gear for Glamour nowadays (dyable or otherwise)? Likely not enought for them to be a common sight beyond the first few weeks of "look what I just got!" that most new gear goes though anyway.

You do bring up a point on the subscription. But I think not even sub games are immune to having the cosmetic aspects of f2p games. Espeiclay considering the other alledged staples like glowing weapons and mounts are already in the game (and I think WoW as well)

BTW There is something I'm curious about. Do the outfits come with the chocobo bardings? That might be an easier way to justify an 18$ price tag (espeiclay given the precidence of buying 15$ on the cosplay gear just for the hair :P)

It's probably separate, the Chinese dress and barding, etc were all separate entities.

Wings for EU/NA too? Sure, why not. But I'd like a 'Hide other players glamour' button with that.

Aion is the only game so far that did wings right: They look really good, there are actual game mechanics related to them (as in flying and aerial combat) and most importantly they are hidden most of the time.

Please let the wings stay on the chinese server
Please don't bring them over here

wings pretty much will always look tacky and ugly. at least, wings like that.

Agreed, and unless they can make your character fly, they are worthless still, But of course these topics will pop up crying about "why we don't have it" the moment people see the word "exclusive" they go nuts.

Dear god, how ugly. Please, keep them in china (people don't seem to like them their either though).
I keep saying they are trying to milk shop + sub before going F2P. When this happens, I am so out. Don't need another game clogging my screen with even more ugly outfits (it's bad enough as it is) and wings. Go play Grand Fantasia if you like these wings, they look like an exact copy of them, just uglier cause the general game graphic is better.

I don't want it but I'm not going to comment good or bad, just give you some more details about the looking.

I feel like everything should be available to people who wish to pay for it. Just because you do not enjoy a set does not mean others can't enjoy it. Trying to prevent somethings release to NA just so you don't have to look at it is pretty selfish. If I want to pay 18 bucks for tacky wings cuz it makes me happy power to me.
