Let's see when the new glamour details will be disclosed. Your conclusions are based on thin air right now.

They already gave us pretty much most of the info anyway.

Yup, still can't cross class glamour :( even in FFXI you can do that, and that game is super old heh.

I'm gonna need more Sigmascape details ASAP! Also, hey late January release, nice

FFXI's style lock disables if you try to switch to a Job that can't use the gear you've glamoured though (so, no cross classing WHM AF for glamour as a BLM for instance) so it's no real different to what we have here (although as it's not kept on armour but is a literal glamour you set on yourself it is superior to the FFXIV version in that regard).

That's not true. You can glamour any gear as long as you can equip it normally on the job in question*. Here are some examples.

Combining COR, THF, GEO, and WHM AF all in one outfit:

WHM AF on my level 1 PLD

WHM AF on my THF

*So for exmample, if you want to use a level 75 WHM body piece in your glamour, you just have to make sure you have your WHM at level 75. Once that requirement is met, you can slap that item into any glamour set, for any job, at any level.

Well then I have no idea what I am doing wrong because style lock deactivates every single time I change Jobs, and especially if I switch to a Job that cannot wear the gear currently glamoured (I confirmed this the other day in FFXI when I switched from RDM to WAR, my glamour was RDM AF and style lock deactivated as soon as I changed to WAR, WAR was a much higher level than RDM though.) So unless there is something else that I am missing I'm sorry I do not believe what you are saying is true.

Either way, this is not really the place to discuss this as this is about FFXIV so I'm sorry for derailing this thread. Back to topic! :D

lol...but...I posted screenshots? Did you reselect your glam? When you switch jobs it will deactivate.

In regards to XIV's glamour update, i'm setting my expectations low. At this point I'm just looking forward to freeing up some retainer space. Anything else above that, that actually functions, will just be an added bonus :X

Blizzard's dumpster. Why our devs are wasting time replicating what WoW discarded is beyond me.

I think it's a /lockstyleset <set number> macro thing. You make a macro that has the (locked) style you want and then you use that macro to be the WAR in RDM's clothing. Is that what you did, Skivvy?

Anyway, on topic, I'm mostly curious about Sigmascape and Eureka info. Anything else is just a bonus to me.
I do kinda hope that Crafter exclusive gear can be glamoured onto combat jobs. Certain pieces look very nice and could look great on certain jobs (ALC AF1 on SCH, for example). Would even finally get my retainers to sell the pieces they've been coming back with in Ventures.

New minion? :D

Ah, I see! I had a feeling it might have been some obscure macro command, typical FFXI. ;) So thank you so much for that clarification Nestama. :D And to Skivvy, I'm sorry if it seemed like I was being argumentative, I just couldn't understand what I was doing wrong comparing my own experiences in FFXI's glamour system with your screenshots. As usual, a cooler head prevails. ;) Either way, thank you both for clarifying that. :D

As for FFXIV (and to a lesser extent, FFXI), I'm intrigued more about the new story, especially the revelation Tenzen is a part of it (albeit part of the 'Four Lords' trials backstory - as I mentioned in the Lore forum I'll eat my Curtana if he has a katana with a Primal inside. ;)).

I wonder if there's any significance to the patch artwork showing Omega characters instead of MSQ. Maybe the MSQ has some significant developments that would be too spoilery to tease, or maybe this tier of Omega is just especially significant for some reason that it deserved highlighting more.

A brand-new side story quest? Finally.

I think the turtle is Gido. You can get him in Sirensong Sea.

Ghido is a light green with a light orange shell, that is definitely a different turtle

It's definitely more Mongoose looking than Ferret

I'm starting to wonder if this patch is about to drop just after the new year because there's a lot of previous popping up in the main page. I know they did say late Jan but this is feeling early/mid Jan

they added a pic of the dungeon gear, which is nice. I hope DRG's get the blue/white version and tanks get stuck with the Red/black. But probably not...

I would still love if we can glam any gear on any job, my 2B outfit i have on my Bard and mach deserves to be on my Sam :(
That new gear is ugly again and looks like they used the same enemy in lost canals for Hell's Lid...
I hope the patch will not dissapoint

I'm not really too bothered by the rehashed dungeon gear models, but since they're doing that again:

Are. They. Dyeable?

The gear leaves much to be desired, but thankfully it will probably be only worth for glam as the stats and ilevel will be less then even gear we have now. What concerns me more is how we are ince again financially having problems as the Scions of the Seven Dawn. I thought Tataru was all over this and we were swimming in money now. Thought she would be over every business opportunity like a ravenus honey badger. What happened?

Well, the Scions did just lend their support to the liberation efforts of 2 countries. That had to be expensive, and they haven't quite operated normally ever since the Bloody Banquet. They're also down 3 members now, so I'm sure that doesn't help.

I don't think I've ever been less enthused by a patch. Even the gear gives me a sensation of "wum wum wum". :/

From the dungeon screenshots, I'm mostly curious about the one screenshot with the three Warring Triad holograms.

That's just the dungeon gear, though. I don't remember them showing the new Omega gear, or the new Tomestone gear.

So instead of farm bosses for tomestones, we farm the tomestones themselves now?

I can go with that.

Just a chip off the ol' block.

perhaps a set of 4 new, original primals based on the Four Symbols? it'd be kind of clique but it's a really good one that plays out well for content like this.

Fractal hard one picture looks like a Xenogears Zohar.

Well, Byakko's already pretty much confirmed at this point. It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect to fight the other three as well.

Recoloured Castrum Abania gear, yawn.

Dungeons themselves look alright.

In the poster art, isn't that Nero? And Midgardsormr? And who's the girl at far left?

Are you referring to Jessie? Yeah, it's basically art for the Omega side-story arc.
