What do you think about Linkshell Tabards?

[Hycinthus]

Hi guys! This is a discussion piece and I'm not begging or asking for this to be put in, so don't flame me.

When I used to play the world's largest MMO, there was this thing called the Tabard. Basically as a guild leader or officer, you can design your own pattern, choose your own color, and everyone in the guild who wears the tabard will display that pattern. What do you think, would this fit in FFXIV 2.0?


An example is here, the tabard is purple, so everyone in his guild displays the same pattern/color when they wear the tabard. You don't have to wear it, but many people do to represent. Of course the design and pattern should be modified to be Final Fantasy flavored, and nothing too outlandish. I think it could work if it is kept within the artistic boundary and integrity of this game. But what do you think?





Of course it doesn't have to be tabard, as some people mentioned, it could be shoulder plate, or chocobo armor, for example this screenshot from a mod for Bethesda's most recent game (Nov 2011).





Notice the yellow shoulderpad, it can be something like that, or a pad on the chocobo, something we can definitely take and can still be tasteful.
