Glamour dresser red flag

[Chalbee]

So is the current system away? Or will we have both systems? If we have both then I imagine the wardrobe is meant for those pieces you know you won't get rid of, whereas you can keep the "maybe I want that" pieces in your inventory...

Both systems.

On the contrary, I would suggest putting only rarely used things in the dresser because we can only use 50 armor items out of the potential 200 at any one time. (10 ensembles * 5 left side items = 50 items)

If someone intends to glam all jobs differently then having all their favorite gear in the dresser is going to be a problem.

Even if the space were available for that, you're limited to 10 glamour plates with 15 jobs (26 with crafting and gathering classes).

10 Plates is enough to give a unique glamour to each Job plus 2 classes.

Use old Glamour System for
1 Tank Job
1 Healer Job
1 Caster Job
1 Ranged Job
1 Mnk/Sam
1 Drg
1 Nin

Then you just have to use plates for
2 Tank Jobs
2 Healer Jobs
2 Caster Jobs
1 Ranged Job
1 Mnk/Sam

Wow, that's actually really impressive. The system is still badly designed, but you've managed to work around one of the most glaring flaws in it. Bravo!

And my point earlier was that if you have put all your favorite glamours into the dresser, you're going to have a bad time using the old system for 5-7 jobs since outfits can't be retrieved from the dresser. Someone who would want all jobs to look different is going to have to be careful when choosing what they convert.

it is actually not enough, you need a bare minimum of 15 plates:

1 tank base - 2 plates
1 healer - 2 plates
1 caster set ( spell speed) - no plates
1 caster set ( CRT/DH focus) - 1 plate (SMN/RDM share)
1 MCH set - no plates (More DH focus then brd)
1 BRD set - no plates (CRT focus number 1)
1 Melee set - 1 plate
1 DRG
1 NIN

1 gathering base - 2 plates
1 crafting base - 7 plates

Before you dismiss having different sets for crafting and gathering, it is actually cheaper, and way easier to collect gear and gear each job differently in the DoW/DoM kind. So if you really want to have a different set for each job, then you have to collect different gear sets for all DoW/DoM classes, then use 9 plates for gathering and crafting.

Well it WAS a good idea.

Shame the plate system is worse than anyone could have possibly anticipated.
