We really should be able to glamour other jobs' sets

[ty_taurus]

People are more concerned with gameplay rather than cosmetics. That's just how it is.

In which case it shouldn't bother players more concerned with gameplay because whether or not they can glamour xyz is irrelevant to them. Essentially, you're either indifferent to the concept, or you benefit from it, which is more than enough justification to implement that. It's also not something that would be particularly hard to do. It's impossible to say for sure without seeing first hand, but it's not something that requires new assets, for example, which immediately makes it far more easy to accomplish by that nature alone.

If every job could wear the same gear we'd likely only get one set per raid

Yes please! I love me some Blk sets for other classes.

I still think the issue could be that they can't selectively omit certain things like job armour, and any release of glamour restrictions would be universal.

Probably it would need a string of command to sort those out, but I'd assume this is not impossible, as we are seeing things nowadays without a precedent, like the level 90 relic armor sets that are dyable only under the condition of role quests clear (with a new padlock interface icon that we didn't see before). Also every time a new job is released they have to update the strings of code to accomodate them under the appropriate armor class.

They would also probably need a new string of code like "All Class Glamour" that is separate from "All Class" which means that is equippable - it would be problematic to have all items actually usable by all jobs at endgame.

This is all conjecture based on what I see, and they keep saying they make things nowadays that would be impossible in the past, so I can only hope that this detail can be under their coding grasp.

I don't see the logic here. It changes nothing about the amount of work required to make any given set. It just gives people more options. They still need to make sets statistically different because of the actual gameplay, and if they add the requirement that you must have a job leveled enough to equip the gear normally in order to glamour it, then that adds more of a reason to level multiple jobs--to unlock more glamour options.

That is a great point, to be honest! I would probably finally level a maiming job just for that matter, as for today I have zero interest in either RPR or DRG.

XI lets you glam anything you like onto your gear, however, the requirement is that in order to use a particular item as a glamour piece, you have to be able to equip it on the job it's actually made for. So for example, if you want to use a level 78 NIN body piece as a glamour on your WHM, your ninja would need to be level 78. I could see XIV following the same rule.

We're also talking using all gear for their glamour use, not actual stat use. There would be no reason to put out only a single gear set.

That means more subscription time, which is beneficial for their income.

... Or potential Mogstation sales, for people buying the level boosters. As the level cap continues to escalate to the hundreds, one might not be appealed to level a Lancer from level 01 (my case).

I would never take off my Cauldronfiend's Costume Coat if it were allowed on all my classes. Legit my fave chest piece in the game and I'm so bummed it's locked to Alchemist. I get people asking me all the time where I got it / if it's locked to Alchemist.
