Hopes for the 4.2 Glamour System Revisions

[Bourne_Endeavor]

I just want to thank everyone who is supporting unlocking DOL/DOH glam restriction. If they can't do it for level 70 DOL/DOH gear they should at least let lift it for the 50 and 60 gear. But hopefully just for all. It's not like looking like a botanist would confuse anyone in a dungeon/pvp.

Can we go one better and remove all glamour restrictions except on Artifact gear?

Can't say there'd be much, if any, harm in that.

I mean, I don't mind the idea of looking a bit more like your own class in the armor department, but... some of these <x job-only> armor sets don't look any more like <x job> than several others...

This. For glamour purposes this is absolutely how it should be. Keep artifacts locked, but anything that is not artifact, open it up. I definitely want to glamour some DoH/DoL for combat myself.

In China they released DoH/DoL costume sets as separate sets purchaseable from Mogstation. (i.e. level 1, no restrictions, dyeable)
However, if they did the same here (EU/NA), i think it will cause an uproar. (aka "cashgrab" and such)

It would totally be a cash grab given that dyeable versions of locked DoH/DoL gear already exist in the game for all character models and the only work they put into the cash shop versions was to strip out a lock they themselves spent time adding in the first place.

Given that we're meant to be the exact same person at all times using multiple jobs, it doesn't even make sense to have the AF locked. Estinien recognises us as a DRG when we do a quest as a BLM. Nobody who hasn't earned it should be able to equip WHM AF, but at the same time if they have earned it then stopping to pick some grass as BTN doesn't make your character any less of a career WHM than if you're standing around in Limsa dancing dressed in your AF boots and a bikini top. There's no lore reason to lock AF, only a minor aesthetic preference.

Unlocking stuff gives players so much more freedom to make their characters distinctive. I hate locks.

I remember Yoshida said that he don't want Tanks wearing cooking outfits and such(or was it robes?), because it does not fit "the role".
However, there's already one million "Bikini Warriors" and such running around, guess he's fine with that, aka pretty much naked aura/miqote/whatever is suited for a Tank role ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd like to echo the requests for a 'glamor log' type system where looks are saved without having to keep the items around.

Also the ability to dye multiple parts of gear.

And the ability to glamor on a per job basis, and not have all jobs sharing glamor even if they're sharing the same equipment.

I like my bard af50 hat...

I'd use it on more jobs if I could.

I hope they remove glamour restrictions on the class specific crafting gear. Can't imagine it causing the same "issues" as the combat AF.

Of course they could make it even better and change it so any crafting class can equip the class specific gear (also resulting in no glamour restriction for the class specific crafting gear) . All of the crafting classes use the same stats. I think it would be nice to give the player the option to pick and choose which yellow scrip gear they could wear, instead of gear being locked to a specific class (i.e. choose your own set from the eight sets).

I would love that. I could find so many uses for the level 63 gatherer coat. But sadly, only gatherers get to wear it.
