So glamour plates are dumber than anticipated...

I agree, that's not really that big an issue. Only real issue I see is, you're limited to what you can put in for glamour.

I can't put my Cloud Strife stuff in for easy access? Really?

You can access your armoire from the glamour dresser.
The only issue I have personally is glamour dispelling, as someone mentioned. But its not the end of the world to keep 99 glamour prisms and 99 dispelers in my much lighter inventory.

The issue i found within the armoire is that it dispels the any dye placed on the item you are storing in it. If you want to place, lets say, the Cloud set in the armoire and you had it dyed beforehand, you will directly lose the color you used forever. Unless you want to dye it again from the plate you are obliged to do it manually.

They first started with getting rid of the grades of glamour prisms, then they made all glamour prisms obtainable through the grand companies, now they shoved all types of prisms into one single thing and added the dresser. It's pretty clear that SE is slowly wanting to make the whole glamour system less of a hassle. I do think the execution of the system is flawed, however I can see the many ways in which it can improve and end up being what so many people want it to be.

Just think of the dresser as a beta version of a big, better system that is yet to be implemented in future patches. Not 100% what people expected, but also not too far from it.

wait hold up, I could have been buying prisms with seals this entire time? oh well, the xp was worth it I guess. also kinda bummed how everyone is aggroing the dresser but not praising the simplification of prisms as a single item :/

... Yes, e.g

but why should that matter in the first place? if I, a dragoon go into a dungeon and another dps is a dragoon with the same armor is that really a problem? I can see this being an issue in PvP (disclaimer: I have no pvp experience in ff14, but I do remember in Wildstar costumes were removed during pvp). in PvE situations, I'm not gonna identify which character is which role by the clothes they're wearing so much as the little icon next to their name and their position in battle.

... Yes, e.g

this would also unfairly punish players who put actual effort into making a nice glamour set, or players who make glamour sets that are entirely within their character's class. there's also a lot of armor where the piece is the same, but color or metal trim is different for different roles. it's silly that I might want a chest piece for tanks that's nearly identical to one for dps, but I can't wear it even if it would go with the rest of my armor. having gotten into samurai I've been incredibly disappointed in the lack of hakama. the only dyeable hakama are either caster only, or come in a premium glamour set; being able to use one of those hakama for casters would help my set immensely, but the option to show actual armor would defeat that purpose.

I don’t understand the fascination with glamour. If you want to play a dress up game go play Barbie designer or something. Be happy with what you get and let SE spend resources on actual gameplay.

Glamour is the true endgame. Its all about fashion.

Because the people designing gear are the same people designing fights, amiright?

My only gripes is the 200 plate limit and that a dresser cannot be acquired for housing placement just yet. 200 is simply *WAY* too small for those of us who want to store all our AF gear.

This is a genuine unfortunate flaw, but one I think mostly present due to this being a newer feature. Going forward, if you were to instead choose to put the items immediately into the Armoire and apply dyes directly to the plates, you still get the same functionality.
You're a bit stuck if you have Armoire gear dyed right now, but the system still allows for it to work if you let it.

Re: other comments, yes, we get it, 200 items isn't enough. But it's a start. Chill out. Fill up as much as you can to demonstrate it's not enough. The more data SE gets showing that it's too restrictive, the more they'll progress towards increasing that.

Also, this isn't the place for yet another "class/job restrictions should all be removed" discussion. It's been done to death. Go make a(nother) dedicated thread for the issue if you're so hung up on it, but don't get your hopes up.
