A Thought In Regards To The Glamor Unshackling

I think that by definition going with a catalog-style system would REQUIRE not being able to save dyes, since it's meant to allow for essentially unlimited storage by reducing the required data per piece as much as possible (which would mean just 'do you have this piece: Y/N')

Buuuuut they could solve that problem by ALSO keeping some dresser space (though maybe not as much as we currently have) as an option for saving gear that you want to use expensive dyes on.

(I'd rather they add a system that lets you permanently unlock dyes somehow, but BABY STEPS.)

It is weirdly limited. Not too long ago, Many clothing items from the cash shop could not go in there. I think it was all items made for the shop and very early holiday items that could not. Then one patch they suddenly added everything, and everything added since can go in there too. Since no extra data is kept with each item (dies, spiritbound, durability) it seems to behave like a checklist. You put an item it's checked off, you take out it's unchecked.

So why can't Garo Gear go in there? Why not these doodads from the moogle events? (one special one could)

The Armoire could be the basis for a comprehensive collection system. They merely have to expand the list to include everything. :D Obviously not something that happens over night or at the wave of a wand, but it seems quite doable.

I only heard this and can't confirm it right now, but wasn't it said that whoever coded the Armoire left the company, left zero documentation on how this thing worked and they had to reverse-engineer the code over a long time to be able to use it?
