but that's not how glamour works, it would just be an invisible weapon.
black and white mages would look like they're being attacked by a swarm of bees while strange glowy orbs are swinging in arcs around them
astrologians would look like a cat chasing a laser pointer spot
scholars would just be constantly holding one hand flat while shaking a fist above it
dragoons would look like they're miming a janitor sweeping floors
machinists would apparently be the master pointer guy. point, point, spin point, kneel down point

it would look really really bad

Translucent? Sure, but flat out invisible?

Not something I would vote for.

WTB Emperor's New Hand Gun
It could TOTALLY work >_>

Emperors New Mount.

I want an invisible pony damn it!

If it looked like that, I would be all for it.

As for the hidden shield...it would require new animations or it would just look silly, as the left hand would still be miming like it was holding a shield, and with the current animation set if the effect wasn't similar to the above where you have a sort translucent effect (so graphically it appears during various ability animations) it would just end up looking silly instead of cool.

Unless I am mistaken in how glamour (in the world of FF14 not just glamour prisms) work.

I doubt it breaks immersion anyway, I personally wouldn't use any of them except Emperor New Fist but in FF12 International...the best weapons were entirely invisible xD

I want people to stop suggesting anime glamours.

Too much of a dream? Okay

That's like asking people to stop tanking the floor or to stop ignoring mechanics.
