Mr. Yoshida, About the Glamours

[ACE135]

Hasn't this ship sailed though? the game's aesthetic has degenerated to the point where this is no longer true, and hence, a decision has to be made. Given we know the majority of the playerbase would be against restricting back up so the game looks cohesive it is better to go the other way and make it so people aren't locked out.

Leaving it as it is won't make you happy, because you already have a 60% chance of finding at least one player wearing a troll costume to a fight and it sure as heck doesn't make the majority of players happy because there are some genuine pieces that would make for a good outfit they can't use because of these restrictions.

Sure I'll give you this, in a world where tanks still looked like tanks it would make a good case to preserve this integrity, but the integrity, we can all agree, is no longer there.

I'm the same as you: outfits that come out of the fantasy world I have in my head tend to disturb me. I hate soubrettes and other wacky ‘disguises’ (frogs, I hate you).

But then... In practical terms, in a game like FFXIV where you can dress up in modern clothes (leather jackets, jeans, converse) and other... Well, there's not much point in limiting glamour any more. If visual consistency is important to you, you're already obliged to ignore a good proportion of the glamours you come across IG. In that sense, allowing people to expand their mirage boards won't really have any impact.

I don't really have a problem when someone wears the pig, elephant, frog or whatever costume. There is no class for example whose armor is generally based on the look of pigs, elephants etc. so there can be no confusion in that regard. But when someone wears a class or role armor it should be the one corresponding to the class or role currently played.

So again, when someone wears a pig costume or a bikini, you don't think "he/she is wearing that 'armor', so it is class/role X". But when someone wears a tank armor for example, you should be able to think "he/she is wearing tank armor, so it is a tank". So in my opinion it shouldn't be that you can't even recognize classes/roles anymore based on the class/role armor they are wearing.
