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

[Krotoan]

If they did that...Then what would be the point of glamours? Like really lol

I like to make my character look a certain way because I like that appearance. Not for anyone elses gaze. Compliments are nice of course but they're the last thing I'm going for when I sit there and piece together a new look.

Now my reasons for not wanting it? Resources, self expression (it's not that deep), immersion breaking mismatched gear, it's already lore friendly (the path to rhalgrs reach literally has a giant boulder illusion in front of it to keep people out, and there's plenty of other areas where glamour is brought up in the msq.) People will work around it and run around in the glamour items themselves. Also, glamour is already a huge part of the game, not only is there glamour on the mogstation, but it would render making literally any of the armor in this game pointless. Why design an entirely new look for new dungeon gear if it's always gonna look like the AF gear anyway? Why create mogstation glamour if it's not getting used? It's backpeddaling.

Resources are arguable. This would be settled by the actual demand for the feature. If this is something next to nobody wants then fine, don't waste the precious SQUEENIX DEV HOURS™.

Self Expression. This removes no self expression other than needing to know that absolutely everyone has to "experience" your particular expression if you're in their party or on their screen.

Immersion breaking mismatched gear would be solved with normalized job AF or generic placeholder glamours. This also solves people directly wearing unglamoured pieces. You could also drop entire placeholder character models if people cannot stand the idea of "their" character in clothes they didn't pick.

Lore excuses are lame, I agree.

People who like glamour or enjoy not looking default don't have to use it. Glamour would still be a thing for a lot of the playerbase and new designs would be used. I don't understand why this isn't obvious. It's a proposed option, not a new gamewide enforced thing.
