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

[kujoestars]

I would say that glamours aren't "canon" in the sense that, unless it's a quest/class related piece of gear, no character reacts to what you're wearing. If you roll up in a man-kini and Namazu head no NPC exclaims something like "what an...interesting outfit you've chosen." Just because it's a side quest doesn't make it part of the world as a whole. It's a grey area of existing within the game, but only as something as a game function, not as a world function.

And most NPCs don’t react to what species you are so I can traipse all over Eorzea as a giant purple lizardman with no one so much as batting an eye despite the fact Auri are almost never seen in Eorzea. Even factoring in Au Ra not being in ARR, the fact Yugiri was trying to minimize showing her actual species still says a lot about how unusual it is.

It is exceedingly rare to have race acknowledged period, whether it’s logical or not (Raen and majority of Xaela NPCs treat PCs the same as any other race, even though logically with the latter at least there should be some familiarity but apparently there’s only 2 or 3 that give special dialogue to Xaela players). As such, the only reason NPCs don’t react to completely silly glams is simply because how the heck would you even code recognition of ridiculous glams? Actually, try defining “ridiculous glams” to a parser of all things. It’s not worth the effort to code in and so NPCs are blind to it.

No one comments on Jandelaine’s more major changes either even though Aesthetician is definitely canon. No one’s going to comment on what you did to your hair (even if it’s the giant pomp in some crazy color) or any facial plastic surgery you do.

I stand by that glamours are canon simply because they are at least somewhat acknowledged just like Jandelaine is acknowledged. I actually like that this game incorporated them into lore instead of simply making them “just is” like WoW’s transmog system. “NPCs don’t react at all” is very poor argument because they never respond to anything that involves customization period.

And ironically, by your exact same comment, you supported my argument here because if you were hypothetically wearing the actual mankini with a Namazu head, they still aren’t going to react even though you are actually wearing a ridiculous outfit. And yes, the mascot suits are canon considering we have NPCs that wear them. >.>;
