It's time (Option to Hide other players Glamour)

[Iscah]

Functionally no different and you could be at least sure that the game itself was presenting you in a certain way rather than what is actually happening right now where on several peoples screens you are either naked or .. enhanced.

The difference is that it would be permitted - and I don't see how it would add any more certainty. Modders are still going to be doing that the same way, and it just adds a new officially-endorsed way to put my character in gear that I didn't pick and don't want to wear.

how do you feel about people turning down textures and res? Knowing that you're blurry and chunky on someone elses screen? That none of the effects your skills produce are on their screen?

I don't see these as comparable at all. My character in a low-res version of the game is still my character. Spell effects are not personalised.

Why does it matter to you?

Because I put time and effort into picking lore-appropriate glamours that suit my individual characters and taste in clothing, and that is how I want them to be seen by other players.

And as I said before, the majority of de-glamoured outfits look dreadful, even before you get into whether I want it for the character.

I don't think people realise how many good immersive outfits they'd be losing alongside the few bad ones.

The thing is you wouldn't know whether or not someone had the feature turned on because it's only observable to that individual, so you can pick your outfits and coordinate them as much as you want with the assumption that everyone will see the effort you put in and you would be none the wiser for those who don't.

Your character is unaffected in any way that should matter to you. What some stranger sees on their screen, likely thousands of miles away from you, shouldn't be your concern or your business.

Your character in generic job appropriate gear is still your character as much as your character in fuzzy 64 bit low textures. How do you feel about people silencing bard performances? People's carefully crafted songs, silenced. Why? Cause some people find it obnoxious.

Why does your preference top someone elses on their computer? What about their lore? Should they not have the option to enjoy the game as they wish with no noticeable effect on your side?

A lot of people would rather see someone in patchwork armor than in a rudolph horns and nose with a bikini top and chocobo pants. That being said I think the best solution would be to have someone appear in their current highest available tier of AF.
