And nothing is stopping me from unequipping a straw hat and putting on a plate helm and then going fishing in this game cause it can happen. Ya?
In this fantasy world, you get to wear you know, what you are actually wearing. Vanity stuff will probably be introduced, I'm just trying to state it doesn't really make "sense" which seems to be going right over your head and also results in you trying to make comparisons to RL which has nothing to do with this. In this fantasy world, there is gear that makes you better at fishing etc.... Stop trying to compare this to RL. I'm talking about THIS WORLD which you seem to just not be grasping.

You mean just like all those other characters in previous Final Fantasy games that were equipped with minerva vests, red jackets and such but their character model never changed? This is more to emphasize character uniqueness. If someone out there designs his BLM to have wear a white fedora with a black suit jacket and pants, he's more than welcome to so long as his job was allowed to wear those at some point before he had to replace them due to the need for better stats.
WTF are you trying to get at? This is FFXIV not previous FF games. El oh el? I don't know what game you are playing, but I'm talking about FFXIV.

In the end if vanity stuff is added great! I will probably have a lot of fun with it. I'm just saying I like when people actually show what they are equipped with and it doesn't matter anyways since the only point of vanity is to really just run around in town showing yourself off, which you can already do anyways. I remember in rift how dumb it was but fun at the same time that I could go kill people in pvp with like peasant gear on.
