But again, why not just place a manakin inside the empty showcase?
All I can surmise with the letdowns of not being able to display actual gear is there must be some form of technical issue that we're not aware of. We are working with the 1.0 "spaghetti" code here that's 10+ years old. It's little consolation and I'm as disappointed as everyone else with these items. I'd rather place a mannequin with items for sale in a display case than have an empty dress form myself if I were running a boutique.
what a disappointment…. its useless, pointless, a waste of gil and space… Thanks for the video 😁
What I dont like about manikins is that they take space in my retainers selling items…
PS3 limitions, please understand
Pretty sure this is just intended to be decorative for something like a seamstress or tailor shop, lending ambiance. In real life dress forms aren't used to display clothing, they're used to make clothing.
Arent manequinn restricted in numbers? So make sense they give some of these as props for a tailor shop
knee-jerk, specially because of the LPL. I came here expecting the same thing.
But I hope they just ran into problems and could not implement it in time and are still working on it. They managed to do it for manequins so I imagine we should see a (our) gear rack in the future
It would be a good piece if you were trying to make a tailoring shop, because tailors don't use manequins, especially not ones that have heads and arms and legs usually, and dress forms are typically used for draping fabric for sewing, not displaying finished clothing.
What a mess lmao
The difference is it doesn't take up retainer selling slots like the mannequins do?
Nope but you just gave me a great idea Thanks Meoni.
Well….. yah…. its a dress form >.>
The reason you can't put clothes on it is presumably because of the way outfits are built in this game. Tops in XIV have body parts in the model itself, usually the neck and arms, sometimes more depending on the item. This includes things like Noctis' shirt for example, which, despite being a t-shirt and jacket, is essentially an entire torso with unfinished wrists and neck. This works on full mannequins because they have all the other model parts included, but with this just being a torso and nothing else, it would end up as a severed body with seethrough arm and neck holes.
For what it's worth, you can levitate mannequins into the empty display case with the stage panel/shelf glitch, albeit with a lot of tedious effort, but it is doable. In fact, you don't even need to add a solid surface for the NPC to stand on since the inside of the shelf is already solid.
the problem with mannequins is that you can only have up to a certain amount, in private rooms only 4.. what if you want to display glam in those 4 and also have empty ones? I think this where this item will come in handy
