Would you pay $50 to cross job glamour?

[Aylis]

Pay $50 for a basic game feature that most of the well known FTP games that have class based armor allow you to do for free.....um yeah no.

[Xlantaa]

No. Because 1 reason.

1. I already pay for play.

If I had to pay extra to do it, I would just settle for keeping the restrictions I have now. Now, as far as unlocking gear goes...

Let's start off with the elephant in the room. Artefact gear. This is the job's traditional look. Technically, it's as simple as adding extra job marks to the items to allow other jobs to wear it (for a most basic implementation, as it's already modelled for all races/genders). But lore-wise, I would say it doesn't make sense. Let's keep it locked.
Generic armour (let's take the Hailstorm healing gear). Should be glamourable by all jobs. Technically, it's as difficult as AF gear to do. Might need a more complicated "Glamour allowed" system that keeps AF gear locked to individual jobs though. That's where things could get messy, especially with FFXIV's apparent spaghetti code.
Race+gender locked gear (E.G. Roegadyn Boots, Thav Sandals). This attire has only been modelled for certain frames. This would be more difficult to do as it would require remodelling. This one I unfortunately don't see happening but think it should. And no, it shouldn't cost extra to do it.

Pay $50 for a feature that's basically already in game, why they'll never do it cause then they'd actually have make new outfits each expansion instead of re-dying/dyable/class swapping the outfits.

No, it wouldn't. Which is why I said the cash shop items (level 1 glamours, rare dyes, old event items, and mounts) aren't paying to win anything. I wasn't even aware the person meant a "f2p model" because their comment sounded like they were meaning this game was f2p, when it isn't. Which is why I said "I guess you meant p2w". If you want to point out where I said paying $50 to unlock cross role Glamour is p2w, be my guest, but I never said that.

Simple mistake on my part, but I never said anything in this game was p2w because it's not.

Would you be okay with any additions to dresser storage space and additional glamour plates requiring additional payment? (just like additional retainers)

Glamour should be left where it is. If people want or like the look of a casting set, then level the casting class. You can already pay for jump potions without learning how to play the job so go for it then boom, you have your glamour. Want whm chest as tank? Just play with a crappy tank and spam medica 2

Glamour is fine the way it is. If you want to pay for gear, pay for a jump potion

this is an inane argument. A lot of the generic (non-AF) gear which is currently locked to jobs would look perfectly fine with other jobs. A lot of BLK mage "caster gear" doesn't look any different from WHT mage caster gear and even some of the item from casters would easily fit a DPS or tank. The same applies for a lot of the crafting gear which would look perfectly fine on caster, dps, or tanks.

I am all for making glamour job neutral. I don't have an issue with AF gear either since I rarely see people actually using it anyway.

From your post I would guess your mind completely melts every time you see a tank or mage wearing the bikini or a DPS strutting around in a Chocobo Mascot Head.

And if I want a mix of tank gear and caster gear? Merely having access to one job's gear is not very interesting, the interesting thing would be to be able to mix gear sets.

No, glamour isn't fine the way it is.

Just put it up with a $499 statue.

People will actually buy that.

Look at all those broken Shiva figures.

No. I like gear being exclusive to each role or class. The Bikini Outfit Argument isn't solid reasoning for scrapping these restrictions btw.

Casters cannot wear armor because it would be absurd for them to wear such heavy equipment when they're not in the front line.
Tanks can wear bikinis despite the fact it's absurd for them to wear such light equipment when they stand in the line of fire.

Enforcing "Equipment is absurd on a role, therefore that role cannot equip it" either has to apply to everybody, or nobody. That's the Bikini Argument, and it is very valid in discussion.
