Just like FFXI, make all Artifact armor wearable by all classes

[Skivvy]

Yoshi already stated this will not happen in FFXIV. Stop asking.

Ah yes, because they've never gone back on things that they've said in the past.

I'd say unlock everything but job gear, since they're supposed to be iconic of each job after all

I mean when 14 was like 11 it died.

Yea it should be unlocked when the game goes into maintenance mode at the earliest. Maybe if the whimsy strikes the Dev team they can allow non body and leg pieces of other Jobs to be glam'd OR a body or a leg slot. But not all at once. Something allowing for player expression but also limited to still incentivize playing the Job itself if you want the "full" look

My personal preference is for this to stay as is. A lot of artifact armor, particularly 2.0's ARR armor, feature historically iconic looks for the jobs, like WHM. There is a ton of cross-functional glamours and I like knowing that the iconic looks for each job are limited to the jobs they are created for.

[Tsiron]

God, the same nitpicking every time. I promise the world wouldn't end if they removed restrictions entirely and if they did, you'd be more than welcome to cater your glams to your own tastes, ignore other Jobs' gear if that's what you want, etc., but many of us would be quite happy with the extra freedom of expression...

I mean, if the option became available, no one would force you to wear artifact gear on different jobs.

Not the point at all. I said "I like knowing that the iconic looks for each job are limited to the jobs they are created for" - meaning when I see a white mage in that classic FF1 from the 80s robe, it's a White Mage. That has absolutely nothing to do with whether I'd wear it or not.

I'm all for freeing glamour (as evidenced by the thread in my signature) and I still think Artifact Armor should remain restricted.

After all, outside of weapons, it's the only thing that carries some type of class fantasy.

I don't really think anyone should have a say on what other players want to wear. As someone who plays DNC, I have little interest in the level 90 artifact headpiece--the ribbon--but I imagine there are a lot of players who would absolutely love to wear that ribbon as a non-DNC job. And I wish they had that freedom. Maybe someone doesn't want to wear the level 50 WHM robe, but wants the shorts instead. If you saw someone wearing exclusive the shorts, and other pieces, would you even know?
