More often than not, players end up spending massive amounts of time and gold to synthesize a piece of clothing or weapon they've been wanting, only to find out that the appearance is not what they expected upon wearing.
Notice how the synthesis jar/list covers up the inventory and our appearance? Instead, we can have a separate button called "Preview" which can show what we look like wearing the item we wish to synthesize.
This might take much needed programming and work, but I think this is important.

True, true. Another place you can check (um.. trying) it on is maku.jp. I'm always checking out clothes there.

Cap just told me about maku yesterday. Thanks Jaded, too!
My suggestion still stands, but its priority should be of the lowest.

Heya Cloud,
That's an interesting idea -- I like it.
I want to look into this further. As far as the location of the icon, as to where the character can 'preview' himself "before" synth-ing his clothes or weapons, do you have an idea on the best location for this?
(Please take a look at the jpg file)
And Jaded, thanks for the Maku.jp link. This is a great way to preview with many different clothes, weapons, hairstyle, etc...!

I was thinking of shrinking the synthesize button a wee bit so there's room for a preview button next to it as well. BUT, now that you have pointed it out, I like the idea of clicking the image to preview the item.
If it's still too time-consuming to spend time to create all the flash animations and programming, it can be made simpler by only previewing that one item on a template character, rather than previewing the item with the equipment your character is already wearing.

Just clicking the thumbnail in the synth window is brilliant. Best way to do that would be to pop a window on top of that with a picture of your character with that item on. If using a generic character instead of ones own would be easier, that works too.

Thanks for your input guys, I bring this up with our dev team and see what they say. I am not a developer myself and do not know whether this is something easily done or could take a long time.
In terms of importance, how would you rate this from a scale of 1-10?
thanks!

I agree; maku.jp takes a long time to find a certain outfit.
It's like a 9
