Letter from the Producer, Glamour details

[L-D-Omlette]

I hope they only limit it by items that can be used by the class/job itself. And not by type of armor.

The last bullet point (you can copy the appearance of any gear equippable by your current class or job) should help answer that.

Where are you getting this? It looks to me like the prism is consumed.

I took it to mean that it is consumed by assigning the image. In that regard that prism would always have that image copied to it. I could then "equip" that image numerous times, as I level up. This is speculation, of course, but I am hoping that is the case.

Right? Instead of forcing us to keep the gear, we should have a "Glamour Log" that just keeps track of every armor skin you've ever owned. As an armor and weapon hoarder, I shudder to think how quickly I'll run out of retainer space...

Since you can store the item in your retainer after copying it to a prism, it is likely that you don't actually need to keep the gear. Since the system already doesn't know if I have something on my retainer when I go to lot on a new one, it stands to reason that the glamour system will work the same way.

If I can copy a look to a prism, and if I can re-equip that prism at a later time without needing to recopy, then I should only have to keep a stash of prisms, and be able to get rid of any gear that I have already copied to a prism.
