As for your weapon point... You talk like you feel as though you've caught me in a trap, when that couldn't be further from the truth. Honestly, if FFXIV were like Rift in that classes were able to equip more than one type of weapon, I'd be all for lifting weapon restrictions, too. In that game's system, you can use any 2-handed weapon appearance (staff, 2h axe, polearm, 2h mace) on any 2h weapon generally because they use the same animations. Same thing with one-handed weapons (can use any 1h weapon), ranged (guns, bows) and offhands (shields, foci, etc). That's certainly reasonable there, for the reason I mentioned. I would treat this game more like WildStar when it comes to weapons, where you can only use other appearances of the same weapon type - and that's largely due to animations. An esper can only use psyblade skins from the holo-wardrobe, for example. Same concept here, where a ninja would only use dagger skins.
I've already stated I'd rather there be MORE restrictions with glamour, and that I don't agree with pandering to people wanting to hyper-sexualize their character i.e. bikini tanks. I think certain gear (bikinis, maid outfits, reindeer, pigs, snowmen, etc) shouldn't be glamourable, if you want my opinion. Wear it in a dungeon and die, if I had MY WAY.

Both WHM and BLM are able to use 2h and 1h weapons, making a carpenter's saw-wielding WHM a possibility (all DoH weapons behave like swords as evidenced by change pose emote, and PLD is able to use white magic animations so the groundwork is there). Anyway, I was asking that question to determine where you stood on the issue of a carpenter's saw-wielding WHM, to then ascertain what level of ridiculous you agree with. It's clear that it's full-throttle lunacy, and I've made my point.
