I totally see him throwing that gun over his head, through his hat and it just disappears. then he grabs a sword that disappears as his, now, empty hand reaches through his hat and grabs the now visible gun again.

I'd like to see them add sheaths, and for katana put them on your back instead of sheathing them like a sword would :P

LET ME SEE MY ARMAGEDDON FULL TIME!!!
I'd rather see my:
GIVE ME MY "QUIGLY DOWN UNDER" RIFLE HOLSTER!!!!

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.

Lol i was going to follow up with the "i said i had no use for one" referrence but work happened. I think Trueflight would fit fairly well, minus 1 shotting Marston. Come to think of it, Quigley used a Lv. 30 barrage.

I'd rather have visible capes, it's always bothered me that your back gear wasn't visible.

Even if they managed to incorporate them twice as well as WoW has, they'd still be ugly and I'd want nothing to do with them. Capes in games with character models such as XI's would not "flow" properly like actual cloth should and would look incredibly awkward.

I would like a sheath for my scythe and great sword. Wrapped in bandages would be cool.

Agreed to the fullest. I've always thought about what it'd be like to have capes and sheaths and other things this game has obviously lived without, but that doesn't mean I desired to see them. Hence, third option for me. I really couldn't care less about sheaths, as long as I'm not forced to use them.

I made a thread along time ago asking why they can't make bows/guns visible. Was told that it would interfere if the character is wearing a staff, gaxe, polearm, etc and said it would be way to hard for them to do something like this.

Maybe have it on the side like a gkatana? Anything is better than invisible!

Wonder how silly the sheath for masamune would look. If you have multiple ultimate weapons for one job, it would be cool if both could be visible. I.e. masa and amano. Better yet, if you had three, could put one on your back.

Mind is just going with ideas. What if you could adjust where it(they) was(were) sheathed via menu options. Have them make an x on your back or all on your hip(left of right) or both! Ambidextrous!

Sounds like an excuse. They could just disable the animation when staff/gaxe/polearm is equipped.

Or have a toggle function between main hand or ranged. Similar to the head armor adustment they just did.

Meshing objectings and clipping seems like a pretty poor excuse to me. They could very easily just give a toggle option to display ranged weapons or main weapons. Having that option would be such a blessing to us Rangers and Corsairs. Hell, even anyone that just wants to show off how badass their gun/bow looks.

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).

I dunno, when my mithra corsair does last stand holding a rapier, it looks badass in a gunblade blowing stuff up kinda way xD.

But yes I would kill to see ranged weapons when idle.

Bows are irrelevant anyway. Just have a gun holster on the side and we'll be good.

ERMAHGERD GERNS! PERW PERW! Just have a gun holster on the side and we'll be good.

Fixed

The whole "clashes with weapons on back" seems pretty "because we just don't want to". Mithra pull our weapons off the top of our butts, so ours wouldn't clash with any weapon slot.

Mechanics-wise, I just wanna be able to rangedWS w/o having to be engaged. I can shoot and lolEES, but can't just snipe something without whipping out my irrelevant weapon?

OT: Never got the appeal of sheaths, seemed pretty "meh" to me. Same with capes, but I always wanna see my weapons

inb4 ps2 holds us back (I play on both pc and ps2 so HA - i can say that XD lol)

Srs note, i'd actually like to see range weapons take their place as being shown. as for cases for swords and all that crap, idc really. it can go either/or but they could start with anything lv95+ to do the designs for cause who walking around with a lv1 Onion sword, gonnaneed to cover that too? srsly SE can do the changes for certain lv range of weapons only.
