the immersion problem made by glams

[SamsaraTrickstar]

You use blades infused with magic/ether.
And yes to me and some other the modern clothes are not fitting in. The rest are part if the world build here.

Do people really get distracted by what others have glammed on?

I did when I played Tera and there people ran with bathtub ducks on their waist and had a microcar.

The biggest distraction for me are all the cat girls who think they have good looking glams, but in reality the glams they're wearing are hot messes of crap that don't look good together.

OP is probably salty that he cant see the original items because they're glamming 2B or oracle, and cant get them so he wants to remove them or toggle them off for others.

It surprisingly reminds me of certain threads in the WoW forums (and ironically this person joined last month .. sus)

What I see more immersion breaking is a battle class (melee) going into dungeons/raids in little clothing (swimsuit, dress, costume ect). This is ridiculous. I would have at least wanted some of these glam items not be used for battle content.

i strongly don't see the 2b (and rest of gear from that raid) as full modern for some reason. they do have some fantasy element to them.

I don't see how modern clothes is immersion breaking since I am still a cat girl walking around and seeing other races around as well. The more choice the better. Why shouldn't we have modern clothes.

when did i say we don't need to have them? i clearly want 1 of 2 things. even clearly say i dont want them to be out of the game as there lots of people that do love them

Modern clothing does not break lore because we have some modern/sci-fi tech in many areas (like garlean magitek or the allagan stuff). Stuff like the froggy suit could be seen as immersion breaking but I think we need to consider that the last easter event had kann-e senna going around in a the chicken suit and the world isnt just bleak 24/7.

get out and take a walk in the city you live in, how much of this modern/sci-fi tech you see out there vs casual modern clothes

Your point being? We have sci-fi tech, that makes modern clothes also entirely reasonable. The flipside of that isnt necessarly true but that case also isnt relevant as we clearly have sci-fi stuff in ff14.

Personally a fan of being able to change what I see on my own client.

LOTS of discussion about that here though:

Everything I have to say about it is in that thread and every argument against it is also proposed. If you want the forum perspective it's all there. .. it's a LOT.. but it's all there.

So why did we need a new thread on this when a much larger one exists already?

Given the setting of the game I'd say the only thing immersion breaking is the people complaining that their immersion is being hurt.
