It's time (Option to Hide other players Glamour)

[Midareyukki]

Firstly, I'm not asking for this.

General "you". Not you in specific. I'm saying "you, the people who don't agree with this".

Just like in your post, no? Or are YOU, you specifically, you Kolaina, addressing anyone directly when you say "Legitimately, how does it effect you?"

Notice how I mentioned clown outfit? It's not projection. I'm acknowledging my own outfit.

Exactly :P That I'll admit is just a joke. Just me going "you sure you're not talking about yourself here~?"

I don't need it, but if there's enough people who want it, why not. It's a client-side cosmetic change.

So now that we have female characters tanking in string bikini's and now men in wedding dresses, it's time to adopt an option a lot of other games have: Hide Glamour. Naturally troglodyte are going to assume it's because of the men in dresses. It's actually because it's breaks the theme and feel of it being a final fantasy game. Tanks should wear plate, healers should wear robes, and no one should be in a fight seriously wearing carbuncle slippers and lingerie.

I don't propose a limit to glamour, I just want to be able to turn off other players glamours displaying on my client. That way they can "Express" themselves all they want, and I don't have to suffer another topless male in a thong.

how about. no.
you dont have the right to determine what other's wear. just like real life.

Exept nobody is determining what others wear. You can still wear whatever you want. Also, this is not real life, stop trying to compare the two. There are a lot of things you can do here that you can't do in real life so that argument is moot.

*walk into a store in the middle of the day wearing pasties and a thong*
*people want to you to leave due to your lack of clothing*
*gets escorted out due to lack of clothes by the store's employees*
"Ugh, wtf. I thought we had rights!"

I'm surprised this isn't an option already. Just have it toggled off by default. I used to play on PS3 and when I'd load super slow into Limsa, you'd see people in armor that would quickly shift over to their glamour so I always wondered if the game loaded base armor then glamoured over it super quick to players during the black screen.

No thanks.

The point of glamours isn't just so that you can change how you see your character, but you choose how your character looks to other players. Allowing others to disable glamours invalids a large portion of the point of the glamour system.

As for immersion, FFXIV pulls it's aesthetics from all past FF games, which includes some silly as well as more modern looking clothing. Furthermore, if SE felt that something really didn't fit within the intended aesthetics of the setting, they wouldn't add it to the game in the first place. In other words, if you don't like other people's glamours so much that you want to turn them off, maybe FFXIV isn't the game for you.

Except not everybody cares about how you choose to dress up your character unless, like the thread is about, it's distracting or obnoxious.

People play this game for different reasons. Glamour is just a small part of that. Many people don't care about EX, Savage or Ultimate content. Should they also not play the game? Telling people "this isn't the game for you" just because they don't care about a small segment of that game is egotistical.

But the person wearing the outfit cares. (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و
You can't just type a whole speech about how you got over your self-esteem issues by learning not to care about what others think, allowing you to do and wear what you want and express yourself freely then poo-poo the idea for others. (✿´ ꒳ ` )

Once again, for the millionth time, this would not remove people's ability to wear what they want.
