Please reconsider removing job restrictions on glamour armor

Yes, I've noticed a few problems like that early on. That just means they need to tweak the stat priority. It's a problem that already exists and it should be addressed regardless. The point was that it clearly already looks at stats.

EDIT: according to a post above it looks like they have at least tried to fix it.

Fair point, but I did mention the Sky Rat sets, but there are numerous vender, crafted and dungeon pieces and sets that have nonsensical assignments (Shisui anyone?). Garo Sets and quite a few PvP sets like the ones just added are great examples.

That is quite literally the opposite of what I said.

I feel like the caster pvp set and healer Hat would of suited Ranged much better than the tank set.

Yeah, I like the skintight bodysuit melee dps get but I absolutely adore the aiming set and I wish i'd be able to use that as a glam tbh.

For all their talk of woes regarding data transfer and space needed for items, you'd think they'd leap at the chance to shave some off to remove whatever flagging method is used to designate which job(s) a piece of gear is allowed to appear in.

what gets me my whm can't wear my ast hw eureka job class outfit. I think should be made at least where one healer can wear or glamour any other healers outfit same should go for all other jobs to.

There's also the Tricorne of Striking/Scouting from the Heavensward leveling dungeons (and their craftable counterparts). There's a good chunk of gear that fits RDM's aesthetic that they can't glamour because of job restrictions. Other examples include the Coat of the Red Thief, Sky Pirate's Boots of Striking (AKA my dream boots), and the Alexandrian Coat of Healing.

As long as Job gear is still job unique, I don't mind the rest. This includes crafters staying unique.


And for those that misunderstood the comment from earlier. He was saying that if everyone could glam everything (excluding job gear) then why would any of the sets ever be different? They don't have to put in the work to make the same set different for each classification, so every set for that armor would be the same.

And for those saying "It's easy, it's just a check they could just change it." You are just being willfully ignorant. The spaghetti code in FFXIV is actually terrible. They made this game is such a short amount of time to get it relaunched and that comes with issues. Would I like them to resolve them all? Hell yes. But they are there and they are preventing things like this from being an "easy fix." Stop being armchair devs and understand that it's not as easy as it are trying to ake it sound.

Consumers have no concept of trade dress or why it's important. If you did you'd get why he isn't letting your WHM wear RDM hat.

It might have been the no headgear on the mage piece, it would have seen the headpiece had more VIT than the mage body.

No, I don't want this.
Only black mages should have black mage gear.
Only dark knight should have dark knight armor.
I don't want to see dancers wearing DRK armor.
