Questiong about Glamour Dresser changes in 4.3

Does this mean that all your healer jobs (for example) can finally have different glamours even if they share the same gear?

Glamour plates can now be linked to gear sets.

Just a caution - if I'm reading the patch notes correctly, the different glamours will only work if you change your gear set in the same places where you can currently apply a glamour plate. If you're changing it in other locations, gear will retain the appearance of the last glamour plate applied (assuming that appearance isn't blocked by job restrictions).

People are going to need to test this out once the servers are back online to verify.

I think you're right about how that will work. I'm okay with that for my purposes, as I'm just looking forward to being able to use some of that lovely older class-specific crafting gear, and I always craft in my house anyway. For gathering gear, that could be an issue, since I do swap classes out in the world frequently--but it's all better than nothing maybe, and we can hope that SE will lift the location restrictions in a future patch.

IS THIS FOR REAL?! Finally!!!! Oh my god!.. I'm so happy.

I can't check atm but did they increase the dresser capacity over 200? They said we could "add an array of new glamors" on the notes

They did not. I can't recall 100% but I'm preeeeeeeeeetty sure they did say they'd increase the capacity in one of the earlier patch previews.
Sure, subject to change and so on but still..

Was one of the things I was looking forward to the most. Finally being able to put all the glam I want to use the most in the dresser and actually free some retainer space for other materials, 200 didnt even cover half of all the glam I have stored up.

Also keep in mind that if your planned glamour for one job involves leaving an item unglamoured, you'd better plan around leaving it unglamoured in any other gearsets using that same gear. There's no way at present to have a glamour plate reset the appearance of an item, as I found out to my great chagrin when I tried to have my WHM glamour use the Diamond Robe of Healing and my AST and SCH each have glamoured tops instead. :( Lost my last Jet Black Dye that way, b/c I stupidly didn't realize that linking a glamour plate to my AST gearset would then make everything also glamoured on my WHM gearset since they share all their gear except weapons and pants.

Can't you use the emperor's New clothes glamour items? I don't know why you would intentionally plan a glamour with a slot unglamored

It would show bare skin/no items there, not the base item. For example, I have all of my crafters glamoured to something unique except for my GSM. I like my Ala Mhigan top for my GSM. Now, for this situation it's ok because all of my other glams are class specific so they just won't show on my GSM, but if I had something else - say, the ala mhigan gown - as the top for my Weaver, any time I'd switch to my GSM outfit I'd still be wearing it, even though I just want the base item I'm wearing. If you had the true griffin robe of healing on and you wanted that as your WHM outfit, glamming the yaefemi top of healing for your AST would mean it would also show on your WHM instead of the robe since they're not class specific.

Although of note, now you can just put the base item into the chest, apply it to the plate, then remove it and wear it.

It seems that using glamour plates, you can glamour an item as itself. So now that items placed in the dresser can be removed, it might in some cases be possible to put the gear item in the dresser, set up a plate outfit including that appearance, remove the item and equip it, and then that plate will glamour the item as itself (effectively working the same as a glamour dispeller on that item).

The downside to that is if you need to preserve customizations that the dresser removes (materia, for instance). In that case you wouldn't want to put the real gear in the dresser temporarily like that. For cases like that, I saw a good suggestion from Aurturia in another thread. It uses the fact that if a non-displayable glamour is applied, you instead see the underlying item. So you can add something to the glamour plate that's incompatible with the intended class/job (like a DoW-only shirt for a crafter glamour, for instance) as a way of making that glamour plate reset your appearance to the equipped item's default appearance.
