Capes

[Laifon]

I just love back armor in every game I play, any chance of that coming to ff14 you think?

They already said no. It's too expensive to create the animations for capes.

PS3 limitation.

So, they will probably never come with it then, even with the ps4 release ;(

i missed your bad sense of humor.
However, some armor here and there it's a thing, but they don't want put a slot for capes because:
1)capes have clipping problems. I look at you, whm hood
2)programming a realistic behavior for cape is difficult, and cost both money and system resources
3)40+ realistic capes on screen put much more stress on user's hardware

Its one thing for the occasional Boss type enemy to have a cape and an entirely different thing to render 40 chr models running through a FATE with them on. Besides, if they did add them in I'm sure they would want it to be as realistic as possible, not like the WoW capes that look very stiff. I'm not opposed to them, I could just care less if they are there or not.

that's the Odin armor available to players.

I'm not for capes, but the excuse that they are too hard when we already have one isn't a good one.

My mistake. I thought that was an enemy model, not a player model. I did not realize they have capes in the game that are displayed. Is it a part of the chest piece? is it displayed in the game world? To the best of my knowledge they were not going to be adding in any armor for the players that had capes. Do you have any reference points I can check out that state otherwise? Where did you locate this image?

Sorry for all the questions. I like to know when I have been wrong so I can correct myself and I'm just fact checking. I'll search too but if you have info handy I'm missing you could save me some digging. Thanks!

A player is already wearing this on Gilgamesh and the cape does not show, unless it's a toggle option through the helm toggle.
