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

[craybest]

While I understand some people wanting more serious outfits for others when trying to feel immersed in game, final fantasy is a game where tifa used a mini skirt, kefka was an actual clown, and kuja wore an actual thong. And they were all badasses.
One of the beautiful thing about FF world is that people can dress as they like, and other people in general won't even care.
Don't bring your real world prejudices in clothing to the game. It doesn't work like that. It's a world where the most powerful tank can be a small frail girl in a bikini and frog mask.

this function can be used just as it can be misused. aaaa I'm already starting to see it. starting alliance roulette having a good day then someone says on the alliance chat omg u people look so plain or looking ugly in these robes.

Nearly everything has potential for misuse. Not really a valid argument unless that misuse has direct legal issues (doxxing, outlawed porn, Gameplay affecting harrasment).
I could turn my settings down and laugh in chat at how everyone looks like a blocky mess, and what recourse does anyone have in that case? Same you would in your example: blacklist, ignore, report for harassment.

I gotta admit that this made me chuckle. A nice case of unintended consequences, where in an attempt to keep things lore friendly, the cutscene is has now you with your gear on and every one else in your party rockin' plain ascian robes.

Bonus points if it's a new player and the glam toggle was on by default.

This would be if they made it so everyone was in ascian robes which honestly is a horrible solution. EVERYONE wearing the same thing is just as jarring.
Current proposed options (elsewhere in this thread) are: Use level appropriate AF gear (50, 60 70 sets) , Use job appropriate gear (something iconic for the jobs, heavy armor for tanks , robes for casters, etc), Use Randomized gear sets and/or customization options to eliminate possibilities of misrepresentative screenshots.

these are all not difficult to do in theory using current knowledge of how graphic mods work and how the client conveys appearance information.

Please don't bring your real world world persistence logic into the game, every one of us has our own computer capable of rendering what we want to see and experience without affecting anyone elses experience (except for apparently the THOUGHT of the chance of appearing on someone elses screen differently).
