Please lift glamour restrictions!

[Gemina]

Why should there be any further argument besides "we want the freedom to make unique glamours per job"? I want my Dark Knight, Warrior and Paladin to each have a different look. We can already put all sorts of silly outfits on our jobs. In fact, here is my Warrior while I level it:



Totally keeping with that armour theme, aren't I? Could even swap the pants to the sailor ones and copy the whole set to any job I fancy. Now don't get me wrong. I wouldn't necessarily care if the job specific gear remained the same. But it's a little silly we can put on a halter top yet healers wearing armour? That'll confuse the newbies! I suppose my argument to the devs would be... look at that pic. I have plenty more of outfits that wouldn't traditionally suit the job they've glamoured on-- even ran a bikini on Dragoon for a day after RNG irked me and I needed a good giggle while I farmed Alex.

Would you prefer they do away with the glamour system entirely then? Releasing tons of Lv1 items to be used for glams IS SE showing some leniency. Those bikinis, sailor suits, reindeer costumes and so forth don't belong to any specific role, job, or gender. That is why you can glam them. If you want to look silly in the role you choose, they HAVE given you this freedom. It's a different story when you want to start to use glams to make yourself appear to be a role you are currently not playing.

Diversity is not a bad thing, and freedom to do whatever you want isn't always a good thing. I believe the time and energy of the devs is better placed on improving the glam system in the areas that it is the most troublesome. Currently those issues involve inflated armories, and not being able to give multiple jobs of a particular role different looks when unique pieces are the optimal build for the current level.

Again though, I am not opposed to new items being released that are more flexible with how many classes can equip them.
