Oh look another complaint thread. Something I wish they'd do but I doubt they will.

Why not. SE has been future proofing FF14, since it still is their golden goose (I think).
How high on the list of these proofing priorities prettifying old NPCs would be - I have no hecking idea.

Probably very low and not even on any of the devs radar. It's why I said I know it's very niche and something that will probably never happen. Unless one of them feels bad that all of the newer npcs have more variations and distinction between the rich and the poor. Just look at the kids in all of the more recent seasonal events. Where we went from oh look everyone is wearing flower sacks as clothing to oh look they might look the same but one has lace. Or wearing a child sized version of the whisperfine woolen coat or whatever.
