Glamour: isn't this what we wanted?

[LeoLupinos]

I wanted a Glamour Log, where we could add every glamour of the game as a collection, something like "Trove".
I hope Glamour dresser reaches this level of gameplay

People will alwayd complain this is a good step
No matter how many plates we get people will always want more

They'll probably roll out the ability to do this outside cities as well, like how changing classes stopped wrecking your cooldowns.

When you compare this to other current game with unlimited glamour options, this is incredibly clunky and incomplete. Even XI handles glamouring better than XIV.

[Reinha]

Still can't have job specific glamours unless I do nothing other than sit in a city. So I don't see what changed. The ability to remove items from the dresser at least has a functional purpose such as bypassing the limits on the number of plates and glamouring locations.

They flat out said that the glamour system as it is now, pre-patch, was the first step to the new glamour system. Which with the plates and dresser is way better then before.
But I would have taken 5 to 10 more plates this update rather then the ability to remove items from the dresser. But I tend to only put items in the dresser that I might use or are special ones.
At least glamours can be tied to the gear sets this time. But yes more plates.

You could already use glamour plates with gearsets, with something like /gs change 5 3

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 fisher

Deliberately applying incompatible glamours to reveal the original gear? That is a really clever idea that I haven’t seen suggested elsewhere!

I think if you do that you can also apply dye to the ‘failing’ glamour and it will display the underlying gear with the dye applied to it.

There's a bit of a difference, though, between wanting more because we cannot currently use the feature for job switching, since they don't cover the number of jobs we use, versus wanting more just for general variation. The game has 26 jobs, so that's the minimum number of plates we'd need in order to use them for switching between those jobs. And yes, it would be good to have a few extra, but how many extras isn't as important as getting the first 26, and we aren't even half-way to that minimum yet.

In the meantime, the closest we can come is picking a category. I'm going with crafting, since I do that in town or at my house anyway, so it avoids the other troublesome limitation of where we can use the plates. But using eight of my plates for crafting classes means I can't also separate combat or DoL glamours. (Other people are clearly picking other categories, as I've seen a lot more people wearing AF gear since the dresser was introduced than I used to see. It's nice to see some of the best gear of the game getting more use. )

I do like that they enabled removal of the items from the dresser. That was a good improvement. Even though we can still only store a few items there at a time, at least we can swap them back and forth between the dresser and the retainer who's holding the rest of our glamour gear. So it's gone from impossible to use without just throwing all our glamour away on a one-shot use, to simply being cumbersome.

I am very new to the glamour dresser. The main classes I play are healers and i'm hoping to have a different outfit for all three healers. If i wanted to glam the white mage anemos set for my whm and use two other different glamour sets for my Sch and Ast what would be the best way to go about doing that?
