I just want a lot of the flexibility and honestly better design that FF11 has towards glamours than FF14 does. Can change glamour sets anywhere, doesn't cost anything to glamour your armor, have effectively 200 glamour plates to use (a bit disingenuous as you will be using a lot of the plates to setup gearswap sets), and you can move things in and out of your mog wardrobes wherever and whenever you want instead of having to go to an inn to do it. That being said there is no dye system there which is a benefit of FF14.

- As you say, there are people who want the AF gear to be glamoured onto any piece.
- So are there people who want the AF gear to not be glamourable onto just any job.
- One reason people want the AF gear to remain locked, among others, is that the gear is considered special
- Virtu gear is a re-release of the AF gear without any of the stuff that ties those gears to the job (item level, having to do the quests to unlock them...)
- But it's still locked to the job. It's clearly just there for glamour. So why not unlock the Virtu gear? Would that not be categorized as "just a glamour option"?
- If not, why so? After all, at least AF gear has stats and are useful for even if just barely a week. They're the best immediate gear one has once they're done levelling up, as they likely don't have the tomestones to get better. Virtu Gear is not obtained in PvE at all, and it's a lv 1 glamour. Its one and only purpose is to glamour. And you don't need to do any quest related to the job at all to obtain it, just unlock the job and there you go. It doesn't have any special connection past the lock. Would you change your mind based on that?
The rest is as you say. It's the dev team doubling down on not wanting AF gear to be used on any other job, even if it's just a lv 1 glamourable piece. Clearly what SE and people who support keeping the lock feel is that the model itself is inherently tied to that job, hence the lock. The model is what's special.
What I wanted to ask with that post was for the people pushing for either end how they felt about the Virtu gear. Such as the people who want the lock to remain for AF gear: would they change their mind on that one piece? And I got my answer/confirmation.
You came to the same conclusion I did, even if you had a different starting point xD
TLDR: ...yes xD
