Please lift glamour restrictions!

Sigh I just don't understand the pick and chose logic here, when I came to this game I played other mmos where you could pick one job or class per character if you wanted something different run another character pretty much in all of them. I come to this one and find out how unique it is in regards to letting you play everything on one character I thought surely there must be some grand explanation for how this is possible, hah as I continued to play I realized that there was none. People go on and on about lore and what makes sense and what doesnt make sense to why this or that can happen in a game.

But seems I'm the only person that is asking the question how in the hec can my whm no karate, or knows how to box nobody wants an explinaton for this nobody cares about this. But yet this is one of the most appealing parts of the game that you can play all on one, but the game gives you no reason other than you are an adventurer or you are the warrior of light so theres your answer.take it or leave it.

So you are tellin me that Im suppose to worry about a blm wearing an armor chest plate. But Im asked to not wont a connection or some sort of dialogue explaining to me how Im a master of unbelievable magic, and I am a master of the physical combats? To me without any good reason for this then lore can just protain to the story alone and the job quest everything else is free game because the devs didnt care to explain something that so important to their games function.

So its basically like ive said dont give me a reason to how in the heck I even have the ability to cast magic and then to change into a ninja and no a totally different style of combat and not one npc even acknowledges this in the game, but yet I have to explain why I should be able to wear a specific type of gear Im lost here? You cant ask someone to over look something so major and then ask them to understand why you cant wear a piece of clothing due to lore reasons, if lore is that important then they need to go back explain how we can even do what we do in the first place warrior of light isnt good enough.

And may I ask like Ive asked everyone else what did the game do to explain the job system in the game other than your a warrior of light nothing. I mean main hand weapon is wat makes the job not the gear that you put on a warrior is a warrior because they have an axe , same with a carp has a saw. If my drk is wearing a mag hat with your logic that makes them a mage no it doesnt its just clothes its a drk because of their sword. There is nothing convincing about a whm that can turn into basicly a monk which is essientaiily a pro boxer but people do it anyway because they can, the same way they would glam their gear because its an option

all I can hear when i read this wall of silliness is summed up in my second post in the thread:

Well, in that case, I should be able to equip any weapon as any job!! And use all of my job's abilities at once!! Why should I suddenly forget how to cast White Magic just because I picked up a Greatsword????? Well why can't I have Garuda-Egi out as a Black Mage, huh!? Why is my level lower when I equip a job that's lower than my main? Shouldn't they all be level 60, since I've already gotten to level 60 before? Gee Square Enix, talk about a bad game design!!

It's a game, and the game doesn't have to do anything the developers don't want it to just because you personally don't think it's "realistic".

Like, it's clear you haven't played a Final Fantasy game with a job system before, and that's fine? So I guess I'll spell out what should obvious: Just because you can play more than one job does not mean you are simultaneously endowed with every single aspect of them at all times. Changing jobs is like changing characters. You aren't an omni class just because you've leveled a few different ones. Your power comes specifically from whichever Soul Crystal you are utilizing at any given time. Please get over it.

I said the line needs to be drawn somewhere in order to make a compromise to cater to both sides. Open up the other gear, but keep the job specific gear locked to the job still. That way if people want more choices they have a lot more, and people who like to have some gear specific to jobs can keep those (FYI most of the gear in the game is not job specific).

It's important to note that Glamour in its current state already IS the compromise. The goalpost does not need to be moved further just because somebody made their first ever impossible glamour gear preview and got upset. The rest of us who have done that (admit it, everyone has once) shrugged our shoulders and moved on, we didn't act like the very fact that we couldn't was somehow wrong and needed changing. Glamour doesn't need changing to appeal to a negligible minority who want to be tincan mages.
