Something really iconic like the AF sets relic gear should be specific to the class its tailored to (such as gallant armor or ninja garb like I mentioned, or how archers can't use The Artemis Bow). AF gear from other classes doesn't remotely suit the "fancier early level outfits" imo.

    I'd be willing to suspend my beliefs with something like the soldiery gear and such; but then you have to remember that they'd need to adjust the current gear restrictions. As of now, if you can't equip it, you can't glamour it. For gameplay balance, we shouldn't have casters being capable of equipping tanking gear to have higher armor values, or MNKs/DRGs having complete freedom of mixing their gear to have the perfect stat balance or more hp (in the monk's case).

That in itself is causing problems with glamour where "if you can equip it, you cant glamour". I tank in coliseum/lightsteel set (which still gives more armor than caster gear of the same ilvl), I'm clearly not equipped for tanking despite it inherently being a DoW gear and providing more protection. That's probably why I'm more tolerant of seasonal gear or swimsuits being used as glamour compared to other classes blalantly glamouring out of their roles.

    Honestly, my preferred solution is just straight up prevent people from glamouring their gear outside of its class; You can glamour tanking gear into only items that are considered tanking gear (or seasonal), caster gear can only be glamoured into caster gear, etc etc. Frankly, this is what's set in motion for WoW's "glamour" system; Nothing is stopping warriors from equipping cloth (since they have the ability to equip any armor class and any weapon excluding wands, esp in a game that has no class restriction on equipment.) But they couldn't glamour their tanking (plate) gear into anything that isn't plate, and they cannot glamour melee weapons into ranged weapons (and vice versa).
    >> Of course you can't implement this into FFXIV the way it is because there is no armor class, just class restrictions which will lead to the problems mentioned in my first post.
