Ah, it's something you think you want, but when you see the travesty that other players will do with such freedom you will regret your desire.

FFXI Lockstyle is practically unlimited. If you've got a job leveled, then you can lockstyle the pieces onto any other job in any winning combination. The goofiness of seeing a WHM with an Apocalypse Scythe is entertaining at first, but it quickly looses its appeal.

Not too mention, people genuinely thinking terribly bad looking gear combos look good.

Honestly, I'd almost rather they swoop in and take away that aspect of lockstyle from FFXI. People have 0 fashion sense in 11. Ooof
