Glamour restrictions: a hinderance to creativity

[hagare]

Also... It's beyond me why some people think that limitations = more creativity. It would be true in real life when you literally can think about countless options on, for example, how to make a cellphone stand yourself when you can't buy one. This is a game, where we get limitations of limitations (since we can't actually design our own stuff).

because necessity breeds creativity.
Even real life has limitations.
People wants no limits because they can just slap a gear they want that other class have. Instead of finding alternatives.
My typography teacher once said, "how can you think outside the box when you never tried thinking inside the box first?"

I'd like to wear certain caster gear on my dancer. Why they can't do upper arm ringbands like the crafted caster gloves that work for dancer is beyond me. Like this:



This is my current summoner glam. I'd like to use it on my main job, but I can't, and I can't replicate it even slightly because there's simply NO gloves that do this to this dress.

This is the closest I can get.



it's just not the same.

further proof on how archaic and outdated our glam system is

The NIN that appears in to the edge trial fight uses the Kitsune Mask (only caster/ healers allowed ) that's pisses me off so bad since then.

There's a bunch of instances where restricted glamours are seen being worn by npc's with the restricted jobs. It's insulting.

Lets be real, its all going to be 2B leggings and some type of skimpy top in limsa regardless of what restrictions there are.

would only being able to use the same five ingredients make you a more creative chef than the chef who can use 20 ingredients?

let's be real, you wouldn't know what to do with 6, let alone 20
Do you even know how many ways you can process an ingredient?

its not literal. you cant marinate a hat. or you shouldnt anyway.
you seem to be of the opinion i want to use preexisting sets and glamour plates on the wrong class. this is a misunderstanding.

i want access to individual pieces to create glamours that are not currently possible. which is, inherently, mathematically, more creative than using a smaller selection of pieces.

most the stuff they give to ninja also doesn't really give the impression of Ninjas...

Can confirm.
