IF it is I can finally glam every job differently, thank you devs!

It's basically the Change Job + Equip Plate macro without needing to make the macro.
You'll still need a plate set up for each job you're linking to, so unless they're increasing the number of plates it still won't be a complete solution (yet). But definitely a partial one, and hopefully what we don't get now will be coming later.
Also I expect it will still just be a shortcut to applying 'permanent' glamours when you equip the gearset, back and forth each time you equip different sets using the same gear. Basically an official version of the switch macros people have been using so far.
It's unlikely to be a temporary overlay - that's what everyone was expecting from the original release and it turned out to not work that way. So just be aware of that and don't accidentally glamour over rare dyes or something (like people were having issues with at the original release of the plate system from misunderstanding how it worked).
Also if the "only works in cities" restriction still applies, it's probably not much good for gathering classes if you want those to be seperate. Might be quite good for crafters though, depending on how many plates you're willing to dedicate to them.
Yes, the restriction "only works in cities" still applies. It's laid out in the patch notes. Still, I'm happy to have this.
It's nothing that wasn't already available via macros, and the glamour will only apply if you're in an approved place for switching plates. If you're at a hunt and you want to change from SMN to RDM, for example, the glam will not change, it will keep the look of your SMN's outfit.
Still it's an improvement. I'm on PS4 and macros can be a annoying. It shows that they are moving in the right direction.
If the number of plates are expanded, this is a decent addition.
If the Link process is restricted to cities, but the gearset switch can trigger the linked plate anywhere in the world, this is a great addition.
If both of these things are true, it's 99% of the way to 'what we wanted'.
However, I greatly fear that neither of these things are true, which means this is a mild improvement made to spare people from macros.
There just aren't enough plates though. If you want to have different glamours for say, 4 combat jobs, all 8 DoH, and a DoL outfit, well that's way over the limit of 10 they give you. Ridiculous.
I'm quite new to the dresser, and am hoping someone can let me know if I'm missing something obvious.
For my 3 DoL, I wanted to use the appearance of the actual gear on my botanist, and then outfits for the other two. Is there any way to make a "blank" plate so to speak, so that way I don't have to constantly waste glamour dispellers to remove the plate from my botanist?
I noticed the patch notes mention that you will still need to have enough glamour dispellers in order to remove the items, so I'm not overly optimistic.

Well you could set up a plate with non DoL gear. That would overwrite the botany glamour but it wouldn't show up on miner or fisherI'm quite new to the dresser, and am hoping someone can let me know if I'm missing something obvious.
