We really should be able to glamour other jobs' sets

[Nana_Bear]

Currently they've come up with "glamour sets" that will store as "1 slot" (most of them) for however many items are in the set. (There are a few that, say, have two shirts but you can only put one into a set, etc.) It's my understanding this was to help reduce some of the "my glamour chest is full, need more slots please!" pressure.

Which isn't a bad idea, BUT, there are plenty of items that look exactly the same on the character, but are limited by job... and THOSE eat up plenty of space in your glamour chest, if say, you want to be able to use "this neat necklace" on glams for several of your jobs.

If when you put a (non main-hand/off-hand) item into your glamour chest it would make that item wearable AS A GLAM for ANY class... honestly, for many of us it would free up a LOT of slots.

And then if you remove the item back to your inventory, it goes back to being job-specific. Just make an over-code that negates the job requirements if it's in a glamour chest, then removes that over-code if you take it back out. Seems pretty simple.

The only exception to this would be our actual weapons/tools that shouldn't be glammed to look like something from another class... so you don't see a Warrior whacking someone with a WHM cane, for example, when IN a fight (or running around). So, exclude the main and off-hand items, but make all the rest "All classes" for when they're in a glamour chest and being used as a glam, please?

As to "this job shouldn't have a glam that looks like this other job," that ship sailed long ago, in my opinion. Others here pointed out the wild and often silly glam items, plus items that put armor on mages, or no armor on tanks, etc. For instance, I've seen burly tanks fighting in maid's dresses, bards in elephant gear, healers in Crystarium armor etc.

Note too that as they keep adding new jobs to play, that's yet more gear to worry about... and again, more that we may end up needing more slots for glamours because in the chest most of the items are job-specific. That's especially true for people who try to gain and master *all* the jobs.

Keep a notation on the item as to what job/class it's for and its level... but make everything (minus the weapons/tools) glam-wearable for all classes. We could clear out a LOT of "duplicate look" items from our glamour chests that way, and gain a lot of slots for the continuing "ooo look new shiny!" gear we keep getting as new stuff.

Hopefully 1 million views by 8.0 will be enough for Square to change their stance towards this.

Just came across a gas mask head piece from 'The Burn' dungeon, that the machinist class can't wear.

When I see a gas mask: "this is a very military-esque piece of head gear that would normally be used by a soldier carrying a firearm, to deal with a gas attack on the front line"

When CSIII see a gas mask: "covert ninjas and long range casters are the obvious choice!"

Some class choices for armour in this game elude me haha.

I don't think Archers ever got much in the way of hoods either?

Might have made a bit of sense when Summoner had poison-themed DOTs, but now A: it doesn't, and B: MCH has a literal poison gas attack called Bioblaster

The most ridiculous part though, is that in the Sohm Al sets, there's 2 sets that have a gas mask, Scouting and Casting. But when they recoloured it for The Burn sets, they made the Scouting set into the Casting one, and the Casting one into the Scouting one! Couldn't they have at least swapped things around so that other roles (eg Fending or Aiming or something) got a go with the masks too? By the looks of it, they also did the same to the Fending/Maiming sets, so in one of the variants, the Maiming set is super bulky (definitely functional for a DRG to Jump about in), and the Fending one looks less armoured/defensive than the Aiming set

Agreed! Back up this thread goes.

Freedom for the glam!!!!!!!

[Qyoon]

it's one of those things that are technically possible but made impossible for some reason that makes no sens.
You change you job cristal and suddenly your char don't remember how to wear a dress.
This is purely glam just give us the freedom, no ? Then why ?

Not even that 'our character doesn't remember how to wear a dress', Glamours in-game (in terms of lore etc.) are literally just an illusion magic. The Tank that looks like they're wearing a bikini, because they used Glamours to change their tanky defensive armour to look like a bikini, isn't wearing a bikini. They're wearing the tanky armour still, it just 'looks like a bikini' becuase of illusion magic. In terms of what else Glamours are used for, for example, we also make a Garlean Flag look like an Ala Mhigo Flag (Stormblood, the assault on the bridge in the Fringes), the Resistance disguises the pathway to Rhalgr's Reach as a cliff face (also Stormblood). So it's pretty free-form in what the illusions projected can be.

So, it's not even a lore explanation. It's an 'outside of the game' explanation for why we can't (and not a very good one IMO)

I have never talked about lore explanation, but about the devs excuse to lock it up while it's already possible in game.
