But why? (glamour nonsense)

Honestly I'm making this thread because it just makes very little sense some of the glamour restrictions in this game.

I've accepted that we can't glamour cross class (though lets be real it makes no sense.) The official reason, last I read, was it would confuse new players. Obviously that doesn't make sense because tanks can already wear robes and witch's hats (the halloween even alone lets them glamour as full on witches) so I don't see how that, coupled with bunny ear girls in bikinis or men in leopard print bathing suits is less confusing.

But my real question... Why can't I put on a hat AND glasses. Like come on. I get that its all classified as head piece but would it be too hard to add like a glamour specific slot that wont add to stats but let a man out on glasses and a hat?

I mainly play to get glamours. Like thats my jam. Anywho, love the game I just needed to vent lol. Any other glamour system nonsense y'all hate?

That there're 5 ranks of glamour prism that all require the exact same amount of gil to purchase, are all learned from the same item at the same time(per profession), and require exact same materials (within their respective profession), making the different ranks completely pointless

Gating it behind level 50 is my biggest glamour system pet peeve.

That wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact you'd have merchants fighting over 7 types of prisms to sell. Instead of 7 types of prisms with 5 levels each (35 different prisms), a mere 7 would flood the market and make them unpractical to make and sell for profit.

Yes and it would also increase every characters' data by quite a bit. An empty slot in a database contains just as much data (even though it is junk) as a full slot.

omg this!
every time I want to change glamour and have to make or buy one of these im like why?? Why are they all the same to make. like whats the point

I just want to glamour whatever I'm wearing into a hooded robe. They won't let me be a Sith though.

Try the Sugarloaf hats. They have optional glasses attached.

This, definitely, as well as gating dyes behind a level 15 quest. This was particularly annoying for the longest time for me, and was one of the main reasons I ended up spending more time grinding and rerunning dungeons instead of just doing the MSQ. Why would I want to even appear in the MSQ cutscenes if I'm going to have to wear whatever mismatched clothes happen to be the best at the time? (Looking at you in particular "coliseum" gear for mages.)

That's what happens when even the devs thinks everyone is magically 50 when they start the game.
