Regards to FFXIII Event

[Sig]

Upon review of the record and posts herein, I find that a common trench coat and boots are not only consistent with plausible FFXIV lore, but should be encouraged as a natural extension of basic tailoring patterns one could reasonably expect to exist in a fantasy setting where attire of steam-punk, military, and fantasy origins are common place.

 

I'm tempted to pick up the coat and boots as a casual Sigurd alternative outfit.  It would look very dapper.

First it's the trenchcoats ... next it will be fedora's and katanas.  :cactuar:

 

Seriously though, there is some pretty high variation gear styles in this magifantipunk world we play in.  Not an immersion breaker by any stretch in my book..

 

And we already have several styles of long coats anyway ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buckles, zippers, snaps, magnets, bubble gum ... might be splitting hairs a little much.

but really we all know the most lorebreaking thing is the Thug's Mask.

For good or ill, I'd honestly say that they can add whatever event based cosmetic items they want and it's no big deal. Does it get irksome and immersion breaking to see someone run by in a bizarrely out of place outfit? Yes, sometimes. Really, though, any time you go out to PVE, you're like as not to encounter people wearing amalgamations of varying sets anyway. Adding things just for fun doesn't make much more of a difference by comparison. Just my two Gil.
