    Because those models were already neutral and not locked to a specific job.

    For the record, I don't think it's great that healers and casters always get recolors either, but that's neither here nor there.

    It just feels nice to have something, one thing, one TINY little thing, that is unique to the job you are playing. Just because there isn't much of it in other parts of the game doesn't mean we should dump everything that's unique to a job. Because with that logic, why not just have three jobs to pick from, healer, tank, and dps? We have different jobs for a reason, people have different playstyles, and a few sets that are aesthetically unique to that one job is not going to somehow kill glamour for everybody.

    What's stupid is the restriction on neutral models. Not on sets that are designed with a specific job, with that job's lore, in mind. A white mage has always worn a white robe with red triangles. A black mage has always had that hat with the...mask thingy. A lot of these are designs deeply entrenched in Final Fantasy as a series. This is the only FF game I've even played, and even I think that's worth a tiny bit of preservation.

    Yet the Genji Domaru of Healing takes that iconic pattern and straight up gives it to SCH/AST. It almost looks more like WHM gear than the actual male AF3 set. Job identity via gear has been dead for ages. I'd prefer they left that to weapons and unlocked all gear for glamour - people can be combat chefs but only True Culinarians can wield a frying pan. Let us dress in whichever clothes we like and celebrate more diversity of choice.

    Yet the game actively discourages you from playing anything other than something you'd consider your main job.

    Also You don't need a tiny thing to be special or unique, that's silly. You already have that as the identity is not the clothes the job wears, but rather its actions and weapon, its personality isn't in the clothing at all (and why people think this is the case is beyond me), that's it. Nothing else matters. They've already broken their own rules, so its time they either go back and admit their mistakes and fix it, or they fold and allow us to wear whatever we please.
