I'm not usually one to care about immersion, but this is a serious problem.

[MistakeNot]

Regardless of whether or not you care about this for immersion, RP, or lore(?) reasons, one thing remains absolute:

It's kind of dumb that we can't go barefoot while swimming.

It is dumb we can't go barefoot. Period.

Agreed. I know SE has made the models walk a certain way with those platform shoe thingies, but seriously just take them out. I don't know anyone who even likes them or uses the Emperor's New Shoes to show them on a glamour.

Maybe we could have an option like the hide headgear option for each part of the body. That way, you could go barefoot, shirtless, heck gloveless if you want.

Kugane in game is not Japan in Earth. Immersion for everyone is a very subjective thing. True Immersion will only appear when we will be able to enter video games physically (like Matrix) and be bound by their rules. And then we again will find thing to complain about "immersion". It's a video game don't take it too seriously.

Lol. So the game having clear influence of japanese stuff means square has to make some weab feel better because he wanted to come to the forums and whine?
The dude with the pointless quote about his standards is right though. Just make a quick glamour for your home and inn and only (so we dont have a bunch of idiots running around barefoot in the game)

Hell no. We have enough pervy weabs in japanese games like phant star online 2 and FF. Last thing we need is 10000 naked cat plebs running around. IJS.

We already can do it. The Emporer's New gear...

We crossed the bridge a long time ago.

The shit I've seen in PoTD legitimately makes me wonder what kind of people I'm playing with.

[TouchandFeel]

In many, if not most Japanese public spaces and homes that require you to take your shoes off before entering, people don't go barefoot and actually wear indoor house slippers.

So, if this is such a serious problem to you, just simply take off your foot gear everytime you go in and tell yourself the sandals you have on are your house slippers.

There problem solved.

On the topic of Kugane and real-world influence, anyone else chuckle when they saw that the foreigner district was named Ijin-gai.

HEY GUYS I FOUGHT A DRAGON WHICH NEVERS HAPPENS IN REAL LIFE AMERICA AND IT TOTALLY KILLED THE IMMERSION FOR ME!
