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

[FF16Necromancer]

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.

what is wrong with that? i see miqote dancers in a thong everywhere too. are you specifically targeting males?

I'll tell you what I told the other person. Get a life and go to a gay bar!

Just leaving here a picture of Galuf's (FFV) Dancer outfit.


FF franchise has a lot of questionable (for some) outfits. Luckily for me, being on a roleplaying server, I see more people in cohese glamours rather than just for the shock value of it.

I just think it's funny everyone got bent out of shape by someone asking for a client side option which has no impact on any one else.

110% agreed. We need such an option ASAP. Would bring more players into the game too.

How is this not a mod yet? This and other graphic options that can be toggled locally and would truly improve immersion. Would love to see something similar with mounts as well, an option to make everyone's mounts look locally as their main chocobo companion, kinda like FFXI again, much more immersive really (many other mounts other than chocobos would fit, but too many are just silly and jokes honestly). Such options, or mods, would already do A LOT to bring up more graphical coherence to player skins within the given lore.

Because allowing players to remove other's glamour removes their identity. The whole point of glamour and fashion is to show others your creations. Allowing players to remove that seems counterproductive and a waste.

Not when the game didn't started like this to begin with and when said costumes are more silly jokes and just there as a novelty and are not lore friendly. Some people just want the have the classic fantasy RPG experience like the game used to be to begin with. Option is always good. It doesn't effect others, just a personal toggle. There could be areas, like the Flying Saucer and some areas in Main Towns were said option is off always, no way to change it. But in the outside world and dungeons, there should be an easy to implement and simple quick local graphical option to toggle all glamours off for the sake of a better and more immersive experience in touch with the actual world and lore of the game. Just the way I see it.

FFXIV is not a classic fantasy RPG. That would be others trying to add incorrect labels to it. The game takes it's themes and inspirations from the entire series which runs numerous different themes and many of those titles also included joke/gimmick costumes and weapons. People like to claim these things "break their immersion" however these things are part of the intended immersion of the game. The reality is you're just trying to change the world into what you want it to be which is would be the thing breaking the actual immersion of the game world that to me seems to start travelling down the line of thought certain communities out there had irl a long time ago where they didn't allow certain people to live in a neighborhood simply because they didn't fit the image they wanted for their residents in that area.

Have we all got over the fact that other people dress how they want in an MMO yet? no? ah ok, I guess it will be the same in a month or two when this topic comes up for 852nd time.

How would this make people not dress how they want?

Everyone is fine with the mods that alters other people w/o their permission, but SE can't make a legit option?
