I've always been a bit obsessive--OK, a
lot obsessive--when it comes to collecting loot (i.e., accessories, armor and weapons) in RPGs, but
Dragon Quest IX has taken those obsessive tendencies to new heights by allowing me to actually
see the accessories, armor and weapons my avatars are currently sporting.
The problem with this "feature" is that I tend to equip my party members based on how a particular accessory will make them look as opposed to how it will help them in battle. For instance, Beyonce, my martial artist, currently sports a silver tiara, a spangled dress, fishnet stockings, high heels--and a shiny pair of crow's claws.
Thankfully, the former Destiny's Child frontwoman--and her digitized
Dragon Quest IX cohorts--are a bit over-leveled at the moment, so they're still holding their own rather handily despite the fact that they're all wearing less-than-desirable (from a defense standpoint) gear.
I don't suppose any of you fabulous
Dragon Quest IX aficionados are experiencing this same, er, "issue"?

OMG! I SO am! I keep thinking to myself, "I wish that was something that was a bit stronger, because it would look SO CUTE on her."
Dang it all. I'm sad to have to hide Trigg's spiky red hair under a helmet all the time.
It's a dilemma I've ever had to even THINK about before. Just another reason to TOTALLY love this game!
Ha ha! Well, I'm glad I'm not alone :)
I feel like I'm slowly getting better, although accessories and armor still have to match for me to choose them.
That's so funny. I had one of my characters walking around in heavy armor and panties. It didn't seem like the best of choices...
But those are the best outfits, Justin! ;)
My mage currently looks like someone who got a bit part in Pam Anderson's V.I.P. show, BTW.
Yeah...I've got a guy wandering around in a gown he got from a VIP at the hotel, and then I alchemized some Wonder Shorts (I think that's what they're called...) that look like Super Hero Speedos. No lie.
