I can show you the woooorrld!

What I would like to know is if I can turn off this piece of crap system so I don't have to look at your ridiculous vanity sets and simply see what you're actually wearing without inspecting you? How does it work in WoW for example, is it possible to turn off?

I understand that it might be difficult to check someone's iLVL and maybe they could add this information next to our names, but as far as your tastes are concerned I think should just accept that some people like wearing gears you don't, just like IRL. I think DoM Roegadyns are ridiculous but what can I do?

I hope Gerolt gets an updated cutscene when forging these weapons/armor in 2.2. In his current cutscenes he's just hammering a piece of black plate or something (doesn't matter which relic). Kinda ruined the immersion a bit.

I should have done less ranting and more explaining, I see. To be honest I don't care if you look ridiculous, hell alot of the gear sets in MMOs do look ridiculous even if they're BiS. However I simply don't like the idea of vanity sets, and thus I'd like to turn it off. By all means use it but it just doesn't appeal to me in any way or form.

I see is trying to out-do Blizzard with ever increasingly infeasibly massive weapons.

Wecome to Final Fantasy. You must be new here.

Honestly FF weapons are actually pretty reserved when it comes to size. Color and style are pretty out there, but the sizes are usually pretty reasonable aside from the occasional rare outliers.

From Left to Right
Acolyte Set (15/Sastasha-Copperbell, TamTara), Heavy Darksteel set with detachable helmet (concept art/new?), Cavalry Set dyed Black (34/Brayflox), Infantry Set dyed Red (34/Brayflox), Foestriker's Set dyed blue (15/Sastasha, Copperbell, TamTara), Battlemage Set (34/Brayflox)

The upper picture has 2 variations of the speculated Whitemage AF2 gear but dyed Blue/White, so it's just a new set. (Shown as Concept Art at a Liveletter)

2nd pic = ALL rank 30 PvP gear made for PvE, been in game since 2.1 already... they just reusing the r30 pvp gear for "new" crafted gear, that's all... and is Healer gear > tank gear > drg > mnk > brd > caster

I am REALLY peeved about the level 50 requirement to use glamours. Hell, my whole leveling group was excited about this. We're new to the game and in our mid 20s and were rather disappointed by how a lot of low level gear looks alike. Even gear dropped in dungeons looks recycled. I'd so hoped the glamour system would help with that. Guess not.

[Lyrinn]

I am worried about this point...



Makes me believe that I can't change my pld valor pieces with cloth type armor. I wanted to put my Sipaphi shirt appearance on my valor body piece... Seems like I can't even do that. At least from how I understand that sentence. I wish they gave an example for that to make things clear.

At the moment I'm assuming only the following things to be possible.

Plate armor -> only plate armor (haubergeons, lancer armor, cuirass)
Robes -> only robes

Things that I assume can't happen

Plated armor -> monk shirts

Can a dev shine some light into this?

The game doesn't differentiate between "cloth" "plate" or "leather" armour. I'm pretty sure what they mean by type is that you can't glamour a DoM equip onto DoW or vice-versa. For example, if you're trying to glamour MNK AF onto PLD, it won't work because PLDs can't equip MNK gear.
