Hidde Glamours Locally (& other graphically immersive options)

[Fabbro]

I've looked at my characters without their glomour. It is... Not pretty. With Glamours I can give my character a cohesive look, compared to the mishmash of best in slot gear I have equiped as I level my class. I get what you're going for, having seen plenty of Emperor's new clothed Chocoboheaded folk, but I don't think things would look as good as you imagine in your head.

Edit: I don't have a problem with the option, I just don't think it would give the desired results.

A valid point. It would be a start. Don't get me wrong, I love many glamours, but too many people just prefer to use the now too many silly ones as well as silly mounts that obviously are just a novelty and not in touch with the world or lore. The game wasn't like that when it started or at 2.0, armors and mounts used to be more coherent and immersion friendly without completely breaking the game world obvious main aesthetic (FFXI also comes to mind as being overall more coherent in it's character's looks as being an actual part of that world).

Again, I know many that agree but don't even know such a forum exists, they just play the game and get frustrated with such flashy looks and wished for more classic Fantasy RPG looks in the veins of FFXIV 1.0 and 2.0, Tactics, FFXI, etc. or don't play the game at all exactly because said looks keep them out of it.

There are many classic MMOs players, from FFXI, Everquest1, DAoC, etc., that are now orphaned, and FFXIV could appeal to that audience as well (offering harder open world content and caring less for balance and more of a challenging experience from the get go would help too, but that's not the point of this post), as it once did (back in 2.0 for example).

Option is always good. It doesn't effect others, just a personal toggle. There could be areas, like the Flying Saucer and some areas in Main Towns were said option is off always, no way to change it. But in the outside world and dungeons, there should be an easy to implement and simple quick local graphical option to toggle all glamours off for the sake of a better and more immersive experience in touch with the actual world and lore of the game. Just the way I see it.

There is nothing in the game that is against game lore - its what the devs decide to be not what the players want

Did... Did you not see the armor set that was the i110 gear? It had fishnets, a boner tail, and stuff for casters. Big abs for tanks.... it was terrible looking and goofy.

Plus, sets like what you are talking about have been around since 2.0... the chocobo outfit, pretty sure the reindeer one, but that may have been 3.0, bikinis... etc.
