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

Cute that you are that naive. I used to play an online game where you could customize so much stuff. each piece gear had at least 3 dye channels. It was a sandbox game so there was a lot of horizontal gear progression (well honestly all heavy / light / cloth armour had the same stats until the devs decided to power creep something which was usually hellish to get). Same thing applied to weapons so basically you could wear whatever you wanted and guess what. EVERYONE STILL WORE THE SAME STUFF DYED WHITE OR BLACK. You need to understand something. Humans are mostly sheep.
You can see in the glamour department even though there is some choice the most popular are always the same basic sets.

Sounds exactly like DCUO. They added in a 4th color palette btw. Also DCUO has an entirely different playerbase.

"Cute that you are that naive." Uh no, Naychan is absolutely right. Don't think you realize just how many people wear the same stuff due to these restrictions and the insane amount of avatars that have heterochromia.

It's not DCUO. is it really due to restriction or do people have no imagination?

XIV's playerbase definitely has imagination. But that imagination cannot be expanded on due to these restrictions. Each job has gear that looks like it belongs to the other job. For example, the Eikon set. Rog/Nin Eikon gear looks blatantly switched with the caster dps Eikon gear. Then it gets recycled later in Shadowbringers. The Shisui sets. Literally all the same.

Plenty of Dragoon gear that would fit the aesthetic of a tank. Plenty of ranged dps gear that would fit the aesthetic of a rog/nin. There are so many times where I, a ninja, look at a gear piece belonging to another job, (usually ranged and other melee dps) will think that it would look good on me, then get depressed..

So really, it is due to restriction.
