Vanity system feels more complex than it needs to be...

The Prism market is fine, stop complaining and enjoy in the redundant capitalism.

It's a tad complex, but all things considered I'm grateful it wasn't worse. I'm not saying it couldn't be improved, but I want to know what games people are playing that have these flawless vanity systems because of all the games I've played with vanity systems, XIV is one of the least restricting, though probably one of the more complex ones.
At least its not like TERA (and I think Aion?) where you have to destroy gear. Expensive gear, mind you.

EQ2 for one.

@OP damn what a cluster.

Why does this sound terrible, and yet not surprise me at all when it comes from Square? The only time they ever listen to feedback, is when their games are dying.

Vanity needs to be early to catch new players. Aion almost took me away from FFXI on vanity alone, but I had already built a group of friends in XI and stayed.

Vanity needs to be cheap and easy to use, so that you can use it at all levels. Maybe you want to look a little cooler? Then you should just dress up your level 5 class in fancy clothes and play.

But no, apparently we get some kind of system that is not meant to be used during leveling. And you are supposed to finish the game to access it. I haven't read anything about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if some looks are banned from the vanity system as well.

Aside from "you must be able to equip the glamoured item" which makes sense (would be very stupid to have mages dressing up in allagan heavy armor, or tanks dressing up in healing robes), there are essentially no other restrictions. You can glamour all of the seasonal/skimpy gear, and you can run around turn 6 wearing literally your RSE with a weathered weapon. Quite frankly I think it probably could have used a *bit* more of a restriction because some people need to be saved from themselves when it comes to this sort of thing, but it doesn't bother me all that much.

[Treble]

It's a mess honestly. All they needed was the alternative wardrobe slots for what you wanted your visible gear to be, with check boxes next to each piece to hide or reveal the vanity item, one tab unique to each job/class.

The ps3 version should been removed with the launch of ps4 version.

That is an awful suggestion. Wow, people sure do love to scapegoat the PS3!

They sure do, they forget about how DCUO has a vanity system that people here say they want but than they blame it on PS3 why it cant happen. Well people look again DCUO has the vanity system most people here say they want and its on the PS3. PS3 isnt holding anything back, its just SE excuse not to simplify it. Like someone stated on the first or second page, this Glamour system is trying to force people to buy the retainers nothing more and nothing less. Glamour system isnt to help crafters at all it is to force people to cave into buying retainers. DCUO has a simpler vanity system and thats on PS3, PC,NOW PS4. They don't include the crafter classes to make crafting worth it, thats to make you wanna purchase extra retainers. Glamour system= Buy more retainers. PS3 is only holding sky battle fates from being possible or something the deals with sky battling.

...I'm among the only few who must think that Glamour system isn't that complicated.

DCUO has the best vanity system I've ever seen. I can't think of any flaws with it.

I second this! SE could learn a lot by trying out that game =/ So simple but so complete.
