[Suggestion] Fashion/Vanity Slots.

[Rubyxiii]

The idea of the vanity system is to allow people to wear what they want and display it to other people without having to sacrifice stats. Giving a toggle option for someone else's vanity display is negating the basic idea of the system.

It's really ridiculous how people are fixed on the idea vanity will be abused to run around naked/in seasonal gear.

Claiming vanity breaks realism in a fantasy game is not any better either.

No offense, but that's a pretty selfish argument and an imposition

Lack of finance and ability. Games that do that now either do it as a tip of the hat to the classics or dont have enough funds.

"equipping uber plate mail of heaviness" and still wearing a cloth shirt is stupid. But exceptions were made because it was unreasonable to expect a fresh model for every character.

so the creaters of FFXIII and XIII-2 were poor and lacked ability?

and blues and purples...

"or tip of the hat to the classics" - They wanted to maintain an iconic look they gave each character.

However in this realm at no point can you change the gear look.

If you are saying this makes you happy then sure I can live with it. Tell SE to make each of us have a badass look that can NEVER change. No matter what we try to do it will never change.

Sure, I'll ask for vanity slots so I can come up with a look for my char I think is bad ass so......... o wait.

And if I find it atrocious I can just toggle to your real display, we all win.

No. In this realm (FFXIV) you can change your slots. In the example realm the other poster made you couldnt.

We are given the precedent of changing out slots with our gear. I accepted this system so I played.

You want to play dress up, but its not going to be iconic. At the same time utterly changing the dynamic the people joined in on the game with, WITHOUT even giving them a thought of being able to turn off your silly barbie dress up game.

But isn't the AF armors iconic of armors that were in the series? So dressing in all felt gear with AF in the vanity slot should be considered Iconic.

So you know what I am going to wear now too?

I can tell the future. No lol

But I do know your never going to get a custom iconic design. Everyone has the same options and as special as you want to be since you cant create content in this game (like in real life) you will never be able to be a precious little snowflake.

Only thing that may happen with nearing iconic style is everyone will start copying the most popular designs and we all look the same.
