Please lift glamour restrictions!

While I can't speak for everyone, it would absolutely bother me to see a healer wearing a full suit of heavy armor, since it's just pure nonsense aesthetically, IMHO.

This is already nonsense because DoM already got some armor (Yeah armor but not heavy enough but still, armor) like power ranger and ffxi's forgot-the-name armor too.

Mages in light armor doesn't bother me at all, I don't know where you got that impression? The Daystar set is absolutely beautiful, for example. Well, except for the crown, but that's my opinion.

Basic it may be, but not correct. People are not asking for the ability to wear the actual job specific gear, just a glamour - illusion - of it. Gear would remain job specific, glamours wouldn't.

Correct! You can't glam what you can't wear because it's job specific, thank you for pointing out the way the glamour system works. Once you can use it as a glam on multiple jobs, it stops being job specific, like the BRD's Kirimu Coat became generic glamour, and as a result went from being a cool look, to a generically 'meh' piece of gear.

You can currently not glamour what you can't wear because of technical limitations - not because of lore or logic. Gear could stay job specific even if glamours of the gear was not.
That a look would change from 'cool' to 'meh' just because it is no longer restricted to a certain job is just plain stupid and ridiculous. Looks are not better because they are job-specific - quite the opposite in fact.

That's not true. There's no technical limitation. Just the opposite. It would have been easier for SE to allow you to use all glamours the same. Instead they specifically put an extra check into the glamour system to make sure that it was available to your current job in order to display it, because they wanted the wearable requirements to apply to glamour as well.

(I might have preferred the rule to be that the item not be restricted to another job alone, rather than that you have to be able to equip the item. But that's a different point, and I already made it in a previous post.)

Gear could stay job specific even if glamours of the gear was not.

In the case of AF, though, that's pretty much irrelevant, since it's specifically the look of the gear that's part of the job identity. If the look isn't job specific, then the AF isn't job specific, so really isn't even AF any more.
