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

[Nix]

Job wise? eh, I was iffy until you reminded me about that STUPID frog suit

STUPID frog suit

STUPID

Man, right in the feels. That's my favorite outfit ever D:

I say again: anyone against taking away the restricted glamour needs to stop playing this game and go live out their "roleplay fantasy" somewhere else.

I am supporter of the idea to loosen up on the glamour restrictions as well.


I think it's fine if they keep the artifact sets restricted to their class since you can really tell that they are made with a specific class in mind but with everything else I'd really lprefer it if everyone can choose by theirselves what he wants to wear. More cusomization is always a plus.

while not ideal, its important to remember thats exactly how 1.0 gear worked and that wasnt a big issue. if you were stupid enough to wear a blm set on your tank that was very much a you problem.

It's also still the case for tanks up to Lv50, and it makes the "recommended gear" button utterly useless. It judges on Vitality substat (IIRC) and will put you in DPS or caster gear over staying in lower-level but higher-defence armour.

Yes, that is correct, you get an ilvl 30 cloak, and it gets put on you over the ilvl 25ish armour.

I came from DCUO and Dragon's Dogma. This game has the most asinine customization. It sucks to be a female rog/nin midlander. There is nothing.

REMOVE RESTRICTIONS ON GLAMOURS DUDE. Anyone with a sound mind pretty much agrees that everything but AF gear should be so.

I propose that they lift the restrictions on the Stormblood PVP glamours and the Gold Saucer glamours first seeing as how they are all lvl 1. It'd be like a test/trial run for them. Something safe. I dunno. Just throwing out an idea.

Came from DCUO 5 years ago and made XIV my main mmo since. Though the graphics are superior to DCUO, DCUO had the superior glamour system, and this is something they had since the damn game launched. With the glamour dresser XIV comes close but it's still not quite there, especially due to their limitations on what you can store. Also I'm all for removing gear restrictions for the purpose of opening up more glamour options.

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.

Do they? We have a bunch of gear locked to role, yet all they seem to do is recolour and rebrand that gear to fit other roles, I've seen plenty of gear that was exclusively for striking or scouting that is now able to be worn by casters/healers, just with a new name and coloration, for example, the Star Velvet Himation of Casting/Healing was a set that could only be worn by casters/healers, but...oh, the lvl 70 Brightlinen Himation of Striking looks awfully similar doesn't it? This is just one of MANY examples.

Really, at this point, the restrictions serve very little purpose but to stifle creativity, by all means, make it so Ninja can only wear scouting gear, but must this restriction also count for glamour too? Why can my monk not glamour the Yaefumi Coat of Scouting, a count that is a literal colour swap of the Yaefumi Striking coat? Make gear role locked to what you can equip, not what you can glamour.

By all means, keep the artefact gear restricted, job fantasy and all that, but the idea that restricted gear creates "role diversity" doesn't hold up anymore, you can have tanks run around in linen robes and swimwear, as well as just recolouring old role gear and re-purpose them into levelling gear for other jobs, clearly they aren't following the rules that hard.

The glamour dresser is stupid and I don't use it. Much better to carry a crazy amount of prisms instead.

So we have some people arguing about Final Fantasys aesthetic legacy, and how tanking in bikinis doesnt make sense, yet every female character since what 7? has worn nothing remotely appropriate to running into battle, generally the males dont either but girls wear next to nothing on several occasions. I think most modern FF players have long stopped associating Final Fantasy even with traditional dungeons and dragons "classes" anymore.
