Now that we can ride Sleipnir, could we please talk Glamours again...

Edit: From the recent LIVE Letter:

Q22: Are there any plans to remove restrictions on the glamour system (unable to glamour gear that the job/class cannot equip)?

A22: Unfortunately, there’s a certain image that we would like to sustain for FINAL FANTASY XIV. We feel that it would confuse the new players if they see casters in heavy armor and tanks in mage gear.

However, if there’s any specific gear you would like to glamour, we will consider those requests individually so please request them through our official forums.

... because the Herklaedi goes that well with Sleipnir (guess why?!), it deserves to be worn full time, but we cannot, as the body occupies multiple gear slots.

Dear Square Enix, could you please modify either the glamour system so we can project gear that occupies multiple slots or the armor itself, so it's split up into multiple parts? It's a shame, really! (Vanity systems in other games can do that, too!)

I know that this has been brought up before, but recent events call for re-asessing this.

Like this post if you want to be able to glamour your Herklaedi (and other multi-slot gear) so you can pretend to be fake Odin and Zantetsuken Mor Dhona ;)

Lol, Odin would look funny with his arms crossed. He looks cold in that picture.

Don't worry they'll sell each part of the armor in the cash shop for the cheap price of 100 $ for each part !
Please look forward to it !

And additional legs for Sleipnir, 4.95 each.

I heard they'll let you glamor multi-slot gear pretty soon for just $24.95.

good!! will buy ^^

I've got 0 reason to spend my Odin mantles currently...not sure why we couldn't just buy'em that way? Or would they just pull a lore excuse out of their ass? >_>

Or you could, you know, just use it as a costume (which is what it was originally meant to be used as). It is Halloween, the perfect time of year to dress up like Odin.

I guess their excuse is that the do not want us to mix and match the armor parts (if they were split into body/legs/feet/hands) but rather use the full set.

How about introducing some sort of "metaprism" glamour item? Something that you assign to gear in one slot but it can take on the appearance of a multi-slot item like the Herklaedi, overriding the appearance of the items in the other slots when you've equipped the one that you've applied it to, and having those items revert to their default appearance if you unequip it.

It'd be fair for it to carry a higher cost since it's basically functioning as multiple prisms in one even though it's applying to a single item. Seems like the best solution here.
