It's time to remove job restrictions on glamour...

[Fynlar]

Yep, they all need to go. If you can wear it (on any of your classes) you should be able to glam it. FFXI did this, and it didn't harm anything.


FFXI also clearly adopted glamours because this game had them, so that's an example of a much older game taking a system that exists in this one and actually improving on it. There's no real excuse for why this game can't.

[Nix]

To be fair I wish we could get rid of the frog/pig/etc glam too. Gives me the Fortnite shivers. Just waiting for them to make it worse and put a dab emote in.

But yeah, I like my role restricted gear like others have said.

The frog suit was the best thing to come out of this expansion. D: (Okay, maybe I'm over-exaggerating, but I do love frogstuff)

you're a viera, your opinion doesn't matter

My kitty likes the restrictions too. Sorry but racial and gear/role diversity are a good thing. Don't need everyone to look the same sorry. SE appears to agree.

but doesn't having more restrictions result in more homogenization like you're saying?

Don't need everyone to look the same sorry.

Meanwhile, we all look the same anyway in role restrictions.

You do realize that doing that would kind of...I dunno break every piece of gear in the game since stats are tied to them?

Do people think before throwing out the first thing they can think of factors be damned?

I honestly didn't think of this. I don't care about the restriction either way but your comment did make me realize that all the mmos I've played with no restriction, were sandboxes where you could equip any type of gear regardless of class.

I mean I guess they could implement something to turn gear into an image item (like how Archeage has it) which removes the stats and restriction. But I have a feeling they would just make that super complicated and clunky.

Unpopular opinion alert, I prefer what we have now, role specific set fit their roles.
We already have many free choices with no restriction. Certain "immersion" shall remain

sure love that immersion

Starts up regalia

Everytime new gear are previewed many try to figure out and joke about which gear belongs to which role since they look similar to each other, but with minor adjustments. Except healers, its obvious from the white robe that its a healer.

Gear restrictions would be nice if they were consistent. As it stands, people can already glamour the low-level mages cowles and robe since they're available for all. They're also making glamour version of former mage-only gear items like the battle mages set, astral robes and others; yet they don't bother doing that to melee dps and tank gear.

Being able to Glam any piece of gear would increase the diversity of outfits for everyone, without affecting the stats of any job. WTF is the downside?

Sometimes I wonder if the gear was even tested for those jobs. I've always wanted Samurai armor for my Samurai, but I hate the Deltascape set for Samurai. Meanwhile I love the look of the Deltascape Dragoon set, but it's almost if that set was designed for a different job because the gear warps horribly when the knees are bent and Dragoons fight like that in the default pose. The set would look so much better on a Samurai who fight standing up straight. If only I could swap these sets around.
