Weapon Sheaths

Good morning!

One thing we have seen players asking about is whether it would be possible to add weapon sheaths. From a technical standpoint, weapons make the same movements that a sheath would make, so it would be possible to add a skin over each weapon; however, depending on the weapon some of the animations may look a bit strange.

The problem is that adding a sheath model for every single weapon would take a considerable amount of work and it is just not possible to address all of the existing weapons.

In the future, however, we’d like to try to use the opportunity when new, unique weapons are added to design sheaths. With that said, as it’s not possible to do immediately, please look forward to it as a future possibility.

Do you think FFXI should get weapon sheaths for new weapons, along with possibly R / M / E weapons?

Yes, if they do it right and make them look nice.
No, they will get in the way or for other reasons.
I don't care as long as they include an option to disable them.

Visible ranged weapons.

I personally want ranged weapons to be visible on the backs of players more than this.

How about fixing masks on the bald character model so that they don't look like they're just floating on your face instead.

I'd also settle for SE making Goro be the concept for a new job.

Always wanted this myself. Small taru here and always wondered "where the hell do I put that bow/gun after I take a shot?"

hmm unless ...

Those aren't typically sheathed. That would apply to great axes and I think regular axes as well. Granted they could very well make some up for them.

Somewhat unrelated, but I had always hoped SE would make "straps" for hand-to-hand to give an extra bonus. It has bothered me for years that we get nothing in that sub slot in our equipment grid.

inb4 people still play Paladin?

I'd love to see shields on the character's back. There was some artwork on here not too long ago that had an Ochain on the PLD's back and it looked purdy awesome.

I hope they don't do this because aesthetic changes are probably the bottom of the barrel of what i would liek to see.

And this.

IMO, it would be stupid to make sheaths for the current weapons (not to mention, unnecessary) and just leave ranged ones the way they are.

inb4 "a wizard did it".

It worries me that there is a laundry list of things that need to be done and fixed as far as gameplay mechanics and other aspects go, and they're considering something strictly superficial, that claim would "take up lots of time". It's almost insulting or insinuating that they simply don't take development of this game very seriously.

Fix the animation glitches that cause my great katana/staff/axe/sword/dagger to display in goofy ways instead of my bow/gun when I'm aiming just because their silly animations can't keep up with their character models' movements (or maybe the models can't keep up with the animations; either way).

Golly.

1) How many people will even know that reference around here.

2) Cross-chocobo saddle holster, go.

3) That's where you whip out the Armageddon and say "I said I had no use for one. I never said I didn't know how to use it." And then Wildfire someone in the face.

Even if it comes down to giving a compromise, I think something really cool would be an option for Rangers and Corsairs to switch between main weapon(s) and ranged weapons in idle attack stance, so it doesn't appear totally redundant to put away your gun/bow and pull it back out every couple of seconds.

The daggers/swords/staff/whatever could just be automatic damage but not visible during battle animation depending on your setting.
