[Suggestion] Fashion/Vanity Slots.

[Kallera]

"I want to be able to do what I want and there's nothing you can do about it. Deal with it." No, I don't think so. You get the option for vanity. We should get the option to turn it off.

"Urgh, this person in MNK AF is a big yellow eyesore!...There, now he's all mismatched gear with green claws, because that's PROPER in my Eorzea."

"What is this!? Coatee costume!? Well I'll just toggle the vanity off and, A REINDEER COSTUME!? Surely we have subversives in our community that must be rooted out! Dispatch the local constable....What do you mean he's a White Mage! He should be in proper policeman attire! Scimitar, blindfolds, the lot!!"

Indeed, why is it a need for other people to see your vanity slots? It has zero effect on you. The "look at me" aspect is a weak argument.

Do you honestly think I care what a person wears outside of battle? Do you think I don't wear ridiculous things outside of combat? I don't care about vanity slots out of combat in town, that's called having a town set and you can do that now. You completely missed your point with whatever it is you're trying to accomplish.

I can't wait to break the immersion of thousands by rocking a pumpkin head, dream robe, subligar, and dream boots with my /display mh off and 'jump'ing constantly all over town while shoveling handfuls of poison frogs in my lantern like mouth.

I literally choked on my almonds. :'D oh lord..

So you want a toggle to your toggle to affect vanity slots in or out of combat? Or should people magically transform into their combat gear at the drawing of their swords. Come on...unless their going to add a "HENSHIN!" sound, that's a little much...

[Orophin]

Not really. Most people have in mind displaying your unique look to others. If this was the case, people would do what they did in FFXI and just swap .dat's around.

I wasn't asking what people actually wanted, I was asking if it was within the technical capabilities of the game. I apologize if I misinterpreted your statement though.

People are against a toggle cause then it would make no mroe sense to wear absurd gear. Nobody can see their stupid gear then there is no point to wear it anymore so they dont want a toggle....

[Shougun]

It's a role-playing game. Looking the way you want is a really great part of developing your unique character, so I for one am looking forward to vanity slots.

I'm also 100% against any sort of toggle for people to be able to choose "not" to see vanity slots. I'm not just wanting to look the part of my character for my own benefit.. I fully intend for everyone else to see my look as well. I think having a toggle is somewhat stupid.

If some people "abuse" the system by running around in Christmas attire, so what? Roll your eyes and move on.

I'll just dat mode all your items then -_-

Toggle button for those who enjoy at least a sembilance of realism.

Best solution would be if all event items would not be eligible for the vanity slots and they restricted to your job/level

dat editing, even in your context, is not kosher with SE. And having a toggle will not prevent people from wearing absurd things and posting screenshots of it.
