Glamour Gear Request Megathread

Gaia's outfit is up on the Online Store, and... it's another one piece...

I understood the Omega outfits since they're bodysuits, but there's really no excuse for Lyse or Gaia's attire... The former at least comes with a hairstyle, but it still could've been split into top+gloves (like the cat pajamas), pants and shoes, while Gaia's could've been the top, stockings and boots. How are they doing a worse job then back whenever the Scion HW outfits came out...?

I just saw that. And it's so disappointing.
Whenever I see journalists asking SE questions during events etc. I always wonder why no one asks for the reasoning behind these kind of things. Maybe there is a valid reason behind it? Kind of hard for me to believe, but there might be.

It does feel like whomever designed this was not given enough time to properly separate the outfit into singular pieces, and have them checked for weird clipping interactions. I'd rather pay double the price to have it split into pieces to be honest >.<.

I remember reading that Lyse's outfit was originally in pieces but got made into the all-in-one costume deliberately for selling. It has the unpleasant vibe of being a policy/vision issue rather than a design necessity. Fingers crossed that they'll turn back on it later and set up some kind of trade-in where you can swap it for the separate pieces. Most other all-in-one outfits could likewise at least break apart at the waist.

Gaia is not so surprising since there might be some kind of extra complications with her being a "guest-designed" character and they've stuck very (too) closely to the concept art for things like her face, which really should have been de-stylised back to fit in better with FFXIV's usual designs.

It's probably not the level of detail that generalised game journalists get into, unless they're specific fans of the game, and even then they have to view that corner of it as a priority.

I do wish the devs were more forthcoming about explaining their technical limits, but they seem unwilling even when the result of working around the shortfall probably looks worse if left unmentioned.

I’m mostly disappointed we didn’t get Gaia’s hair. I feel that was a really big ticket item for a lot of people. A part of me is worried SE are going to release it later for the same cost as the outfit. (=A=* )

I hope to god if/when we get Graha's adventuring outfit it's split up since his bodygroup isn't a "unique".

Still desperately begging for a pair of the Hraesvelgr boots but without the fur so they will match with glamours.

A fashionable pair of plain, close fitting boots would do wonders but everything either is much taller/shorter, has large flares, different heel style, or something way too extra like this fluff... Just a plain pair of mid boots please.

This style of ear cuff for the DoL classes:

DoW/DoM have Palm Ear Cuff of (Fending|Slaying|Aiming|Casting|Healing), while DoH has (Ametrine|Aesthete's|Dwarven Mithril|Manasilver) Ear Cuffs. As far as I can work out no earring with this model exists for the gathering classes, and it looks amazing.

I'd love to see the visor option used more often for existing and future glams.
It would be like having two glamours in one item if we could use visor to toggle off decorative flare on corsages.

Ideally I'd love to see a similar "visor" option for chest armor that would toggle off belts and large bulky bags/tools that tend to clip through arms/tails or points at strange angles when sitting or moving.

Would like to get some legs items where you have a skirt over tights as one clothing piece. Currently there are only a couple of items that are close to this.

Would be cool to get one where there is a metallic light plating wrap over tights, where only the tights get dyed and the metallic skirting remains silver (maybe a gold variant too). And another where the skirt receives the dye and there is metallic silver (and again maybe gold too) plated tights underneath that remain normal etc. And for the skirt part itself, I'm envisioning something similar to the hyuran skirt or patrician's (bottoms are a skirt on female) in regards to length. No ruffles or anything complex, more in the plain single-colour direction (or light detail) with a metallic belt/buckle etc.
