I'd Like To Wear The Hood To My White Mage Outfit

[Kacho_Nacho]

The level 50 White Mage robes are some of the most iconic robes in the game. It's been featured in Final Fantasy art and in multiple Square Enix products. I had a great feeling of accomplishment when I finished my job arc and obtained the full set.

But, there is one thing which has bothered me about the robes. The hood does not have a /visor option. Now, I know why this is. It's because the circlet and the robes are separate pieces.

But, I was wondering, with the new developments in how our gear displays in Stormblood, if the art team would be willing to take some time and add the /visor function to the White Mage robes so that they work in conjunction with the equipment in the head slot to allow us to pull up our hoods against the wind, rain, and snow? It would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

The problem with hooded robes in the past is they prevent head gear from being worn, even as glamour, same goes for the heavy plate armor. You really can't get away without having a helm later on in the game without severely gimping your ilvl/stats, this is why you don't see hooded/heavy plate gear past 50.

Being able to wear hoods with specific head gear would be awesome. That would honestly open up a lot of room for gear set designs. Like how you can visor certain helms. I feel it would be a major endeavor since they'd have to create and rig new models and animations for all their current hooded cloaks. Possible though, definitely possible. But there are other things they should focus on

a white mage is a beautiful princess healing Eorzea with her love. Only a veil can properly fit the head of a queen or princess.

SE, gib /hood command. It can overwrite the headgear piece as long as it's toggled on for what I care. I'm sure some pieces would look nice by using it.

Not having the option to /visor the hoods is just cheap on Square Enix's side!...

I believe it's possible to do and it would look great, head gear would be hidden naturally but that doesn't mean it can't be worn!...

Its weird that the White Mage hood isn't a helmet yet, I'm pretty sure they exist on the Amdapori Corpses in Lost City Hard.

I agree; but, that is not the case with the level 50 white mage job outfit. The robe is treated as a chest piece while the circlet is a separate item. The hood hangs down the back from the shoulders of the robe.

It would be a major endeavor to overhaul every hooded cloak. Hence, I limited my request to the white mage robes. As far as SE’s workload, it’s up to them to evaluate and decide what is worth working on. I’m just making a request.

I don’t think it’s a case of being cheap. It’s likely that they lacked the ability to do so in the past, or it was a case where they had more important things to focus on to meet their deadline.

You missed what I was getting at, I was comparing the 2 robes to each other. When you had the cowled robes of the earlier levels it usually was a bit more better in terms of a non cowl based robe, but those were able to equip a head piece. I think it's due to them not liking clipping and while they could just more than likely make the helm be invisible while the hood is up, I doubt there are enough cowled robes in the game for this sort of thing. I'm not against it by any means, the few other robes that have a cowl to them are great looking and would love to see them have a /visor like option, but I doubt SE cares enough to put it in.
