I think it's more a case of plenty of other MMOs on the market now are allowing players to store absolutely every piece of equipment they ever acquire in a wardrobe to be used whenever they like. WoW recently introduced an extensive wardrobe system that retro-actively took the appearances of every item your characters had ever owned in the past since release of the game. FFXIV is far behind the standard for the genre when it comes to cosmetics systems now. People are asking for this sort of thing because it is now a basic expectation. If MMOs want to put so much of an endgame focus on making yourself look good they need to give players the tools to facilitate it. A wardrobe system is essential to that.

As it stands now, if a player wants just a single glamour set for each job that's 5-10 pieces (depending on if they bother with jewellery) x 12 jobs. You can double that if they glamour their crafting/gathering classes as well. The player has to keep hold of these glamour items permanently because every time they upgrade a piece of equipment they have to apply the glamour again. So for just 1 glamour set per class/job that's already a nearly full retainer. Now if a player wants to have alternate glamours for some jobs... well it adds up quickly.

For some players this is a BIG deal and the game doesn't facilitate that playstyle very well where other MMOs do.
