Its time to remove job-based glamour restrictions.

(1) Either AF gear is the exception, or it is only excluded until you have the job leveled to the point it could wear the armor too, and the corresponding job quests done up till that point.

Personal opinion, but I think AF gear should remain locked to the jobs. That gear often references iconic designs for the job from previous FF entries, it would feel wrong somehow to see a NIN slashing things in a BLM's robe and hat.

(2) All current tier gear is excluded until the iLv cap raises in the next tier. (Example, we have i350-i375 gear in this item level tier. All gear here is glamour locked till next iLv raise)

Not sure why a restriction like this would be necessary. We already have restrictions based on character level and gear ilvl. Unless it's to prevent people from accidentally destroying stuff they should be using? Or is it just a restriction just to add road blocks?

(3) We simply have a quest/NPC who turns any gear into the Lv1 all class version. (This kind of seems a bit pointless, but maybe the "easier" fix for SE)

I could see this being a thing, as annoying as it would be to have yet another single-purpose NPC hanging around in the hub cities. If it lets me turn some of that DoW leveling gear into level 1 glamour that would be fine. What about end-game gear though? The glamour dresser proved that people don't like to destroy their stuff. Say I want to convert the 370 tomestone chest into all-class glamour... would I have to wait until I upgraded it in the next tier/switched with the Savage peice or would the process create a duplicate level 1 version?

Personally I agree, just threw out a sort of middle ground idea.

This is in response to those who mentioned being excited to see what was the new armor they could unlock/receive for having leveled up their job, and doing the content as.
Some of it is restricted by the fatc u need gear for ur main job anyways, so such an implementation isnt really that different from what we have now, but still enforces the idea of getting what you want more now, and or class identity for a short period of time.

I'd rather be able to glamour all non AF armor period, but again, this seems like a semi middle ground idea.
