Please reconsider removing job restrictions on glamour armor

[Urdess]

I don't see how allowing us to use glamours like in FFXI is a problem. For people citing loot rolls, why wouldn't it work like normal? You want that piece and it's not gear for your class? Get some like-minded people together in Party Finder and farm the dungeon with them for the items you want. You wouldn't change it so a dps could roll on a healer piece etc, that would just be stupid. Just allow us to glamor our gear regardless of class.

If I can glamour it, then I should be able to wear it. If I can wear it, then I should be able to roll need on it.

My issue with this is that imo people needing for actual stat upgrades should absolutely have priority over people needing for cosmetic reasons. You can still roll on it all just fine, but the person who needs it as an actual upgrade has the priority.

Just lift the glamour restrictions and leave loot rules alone. Or maybe add an option to change to greed everything in premade parties or something so you can go do glamour hunting groups... if that option doesn't already exist? Haven't really looked.

The problem is they would also have to remove the equipable restrictions on the gear so that means you could for example have a DRK running around in Dex gear because they didn’t bother buying a piece designed for a tank

This topic again? I would accept mix and match for random stuff, but now you even want artifact gear to be mixable? What the heck? Artifact armor should and hopefully will ever be restricted. Red Mage is identified by their colour and tricorne with a white feather since 1987, and it should be like that "forever".

Everything else? Whatever, but this "mix and match" is rather.. I don't know, I don't like it.

I have a bunch of images on imgur from a previous thread. Shall I bring...shall I bring those pictures up again. But...ugh...ah, what the heck, here we go:

Ok man you're just trying way too hard now -.-


Anyway, SE does this and I wont ask for anything ever, including auto-pass.

The OP said lift the gear restriction for everything but artifact gear, not "absolutely everything should have the restriction lifted"

And to that, I agree. We already have reskins of gear used on different classes. The new DoH one is a dyeable version of the caster/healer gear from Saint Mocianne's Arboretum.

This is a really odd argument admittedly given that
A) real-life parallels are a silly thing to make in this, a fantasy game where we destroy monsters using swords,
B) the glamour system ALREADY allows for this exact thing because visual differentiation of jobs based on their looks is almost completely unimportant and currently borderline non-extant,
C) citing past series experience is super odd given that the 'iconic look' has basically been defunct as a concept ever since you could put !Dualcast on a Mime back in 1992,
D) you can already make bootleg versions of job-specific glamours anyway? You realllllly didn't see the litany of knockoff RDM glamours after it got announced for Stormblood?

Even using red mage itself as it makes it pretty free to poke holes in it- there's the company hat, the storm lieutenant's tricorne, the demon or eikon cloth hat of aiming, and that's just the headpiece? There's outright several options for a red ruffled shirt and thighboots.

If you wanna be able to tell what job someone's using, just look at their job icon in the party list. After that, who cares what they're wearing? Unless you're really, really going to draw lines in the sand over 'sure, you can tank the 24-man completely naked, but how DARE you try to do it in a white mage robe? that'll confuse the newbies that don't know how to look at the party list!'
