Regarding that Finaland Interview...

I've seen this before and I keep hoping there's just some misunderstanding or translation error. He thinks wearing paladin gloves as a white mage is ridiculous? His response is ridiculous.

Yeah. I mean you can do way crazier things already using non job specific gear. Like swimsuits, chocobo/moogle/pig suits. The sky rat and shisui fending sets are hilarious as 'tank gear.' Wedding dresses and tuxedos, character costumes etc, there is already so much you could do yet he thinks that THIS is pandora's box and will cause untold chaos.

Yeah I don't get it >_> between what you just said and with the option to not display a weapon equipped its already a crap shoot in guessing what player is what at face value unless you either stop to inspect everyone or are grouped with them and can see their job icon. Coupled with some of the more silly mounts. So according to Yoshidas reply based on the currant game is a white mage with a chocobo head, werewolf legs and arms and wearing a tuxedo suit while riding a flying elephant is totally a white mage but a white mage with plate gauntlets on isn't? Okay Yoshida >_>
