The start.

Ah, so you did misunderstood/confused.
The Saved GearSet slots for class switching.

I'll edit my post there.

Haha yes sorry my dumb ass thought we are getting 100 new glamour stuff xDD

People use a ton of gear sets? I just have 1 for every job and 1 for an ultimate set from a couple years ago that's probably irrelevant nowm

No issue..,
do you think we all would be this calm if so..,
You'd see it spread like the fire on the Map in the EW Trailer.

But yes, can only hope we get many nice sets in the near future.

One for each job already lands you on 31(19 combat+BLU+8 crafters+3 gatherers), plus extras for Ultimates, plus Bozja and Eureka sets, plus whatever else they may have, it can really add up.

What was the previous limit to number of gearsets? I don't think I have ever even thought about hitting a limit with it.

I think it's something like one per job plus a small number extra?

I can end up with a fair number of plates storing glamours or tracking gearsets that I'm collecting so I've got half of it in my inventory waiting for levelling roulette to throw me back into that dungeon.

This does seem like more than I'll ever need, though. I would have been fine with 50 or so as long as they were all unlocked from the start.

Max is currently 45 tho. 14 more than number of jobs. I don't think I've ever run out. It's nice to have more it's just.... I didn't think this was high on the list of things that were needed lol.

100 Gear Sets are most welcome!.


I must confess I read this wrong, I thought they were increasing the gear slots to 100, pity it's not the case.


I do use all 45 Gear Sets available so an increase to 100 is really handy but I also think it creates a new problem and that is there are not enough gear slots available in the Armoury Chest, I would expect an increased capacity now.

Glamour sets is probably more important than Gearsets at this point.
I've never even approached 45 Gearsets, but 45 Glamour sets would be very nice so that it lines up with Gearsets.

I was thinking the same thing. Evidently a lot of people were, because Yoshida commented on it in the live letter, saying something to the tune of (and I'm paraphrasing hard here, since Square won't hire an actual translator and I was going off of a volunteer's translations) "what, you want more plates? Didn't we just give you those?"
I don't know if he was joking or serious, since -- again -- the 2 billion dollar company couldn't just have someone there speaking the translation as he said them. But they at least acknowledged all the people in the chat saying the obvious part out loud, and they met that criticism with "b-but we just added 5, isn't that enough???" lol

Nine of those would've been the original classes (gladiator, marauder, arcanist, conjurer, thaumaturge, pugilist, lancer, archer, and rogue), which the game treats as separate jobs. So really, just five extra slots.

No one uses gearsets for base classes. We can ignore those.

He had said more than just.
But I am not a direct source for translation.
There was also note/references to the upgrades affecting that as well.

The usual, let's find the resources and patience to hold judgement. and figure things out before we make the mistake of not fully true info

I don't see any real need to have 100 gear sets, but maybe that's just me. Seems like a waste of time and effort to make this happen.

It's not, gear sets are stored locally and you can already have more than 45 if you manually edit them, there is no reason the game couldn't let you have unlimited, this is just an arbitrary limitation that they are extending, very likely by changing a single value.

I took that to be a tease that they know we want more, and they're working on it.

Although I want more dresser spaces over more plates, if I had to pick one or the other.

EDIT: on further reading, he outright said that upgrading the servers will allow them to give us more plates.

I have just one for Crafter and hotswap the weapons (the rest of the gear is identical so...) and used to for Gatherers...not sure why I stopped doing that and made them each one, honestly...

...but yeah, I also have Bozja and Eureka sets for my mainly played role (Healer, but if I did other roles, I could see myself making a few more), and a lower level gear set with a different glamour for when I want to PvP in a different outfit or Job specific outfit (WHM robes, SCH robes) than I use for my level 90 gear (since I omni-Healer [and play a couple Tanks, SMN, and RDM], I try to pick a set with no Job-specific gear so it won't go stupid looking if I swap Jobs in a place I can't change my glam)

So yeah, there are reasons to have more than just number of Jobs/a few extras.

Sets I have in addition to the standard job/class sets:

Swimsuit
attending Eternal Bonding ceremonies
Spawning Tarchia/Armstrong
Riding my chopper with a lala gang

A bit easier having those as separate sets compared to having to use a glamour plate slot and then switching the glamours constantly (which wouldn't even work in the case of spawning Armstrong).

I never had an issue with it, but I won't complain I guess. It's not like it's hurting anything by giving us more.

The other issue, is that Portraits rn are tied to Gearsets.., unless they rework the whole systems. then this is more leeway for that system. than a negative to ours.

There is no harm in the end. Til the gears grind, but it certainly won't be cause we have 100, and people either use that to complain about the lack of glamour slots<like stated by iscah, who unlike another, did read the translation in whole>

Hopefully they rework the Portrait system, as that is in need of change.

and after the server upgrades. we can see a better system for all.

Give me 100 glamour plates instead

It's called padding a list. Call me when they increase glamour plates. We don't even have enough for one of each class if you throw in DoH/L in there. lol

I can't say I ever used enough to know there was a limit but I don't think it's a bad change. Glad for any who were limited that they have more options now. Not every QoL needs to be something that personally affects us all to be good.

I bet they've made so to expand portrait list as those are linked with gearsets lmao

Current max is 47 though. The 2 extra are from pre-order exclusive promos from a long time ago for HW and SB that are separate from collector's edition. Really appreciate the expansion on gearsets.
