    They keep data on glamours, so I assume they see that lots of people use casual glamour items.

    I feel like they've run out of ideas for regular fantasy gear, or the restrictions they have on how they make gear just ends up making it all look the same anyway. I can't even tell if the new dungeon gear is actually new or just recolors and mixed around versions of existing gear.

    As a Balmung resident, I can attest that casual and swimsuit glamours are like 65-80% of people's outfits.
    And considering a lot of these options like the holiday sets (re: This recent All Saints outfit, which is a good suit with a literal recolor Catoblepas horns from the Saucer) will eventually be $21 on Mogstation which means they have financial incentive to make casual glams.
    And being perfectly honest, I wish they made more Mogstation outfits than occasional dripfeeding last year's holiday costumes. But on the flip side, I also wish they were like half the price or less because who the hell decided that a PAY TO PLAY MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION mmo should also have a cash shop vastly more expensive than any Korean MMO ive ever played.

    That may introduce a selection effect.

    Old seasonal gear is never that expensive – more like $5 than $20. (I can never remember the exact prices after exchange rates.)

    Also I'm pretty sure the new horns aren't the same as the Catoblepas horns, beside the basic concept of small upward-curving demon horns. I did think they were similar before going back to try on the Catoblepas horns again, but now I think they're a different placement and texture. I'm not in the game now to double-check though.

    Yeah, the model of the different horns aren't the same. For some reason this claim that they're a recolor persists, and I first saw it in a crazy rambling thread that threatened the developers with torture, so it paints a poor image of the people repeating it...

    Here's an idea they could do, go back through all past glamours and remove the ridiculously overused shoulder pad design and neck fluf/fur stuff they love to stick on to everything and ruin it.
