8.0 would be the perfect time to Revamp the Glamour system.

[Jason_Ashford]

I like how people start calling each other out on reading comprehension when in reality all we have from the producer has been one or two enigmatic sentences that everyone chose to interpret in many ways and extrapolate to fit their view until it sounded like the absolute and only truth.

Do I expect a lot of meaningful changes after the latest line? No, but that means literally nothing. That's just me being pessimistic with their track record and current direction.

at this point Yoshi-P can't be anything other than enigmatic because development for jobs is probably not set in stone until close to release of 8.0

If that happens, I hope they at least do a dye channel pass on some of it, because a lot of it can't be dyed or dyes very poorly. The low res/plastic-y textures are another issue with a lot of old gear, but a basic upscaling pass might make them look even worse.

The tricky spot they've put themselves in is that they're worried about having the 2nd dye channel affect parts that are already affected by the original dye channel, so we get ridiculous things like the thread of a button for the 2nd dye or similar...
They should add more variants of the same model with different dye options!

That would be godawful a concept.
As that means either it's gonna be a complete shit show if they hadnt "set in stone" their reworks close to the deadline (8.0 release) or it'll be dripfed over the entirety of 8.x which would also mean lackluster overhauls if any.

If 8.0 did Jobs, Glamour, character creator, friendslist it would be the best QOL expansion yet

[Aco505]

his is true for jobs like Black Mage, Viper, etc.

Not for BLM. The rework has made it strong at all levels, including 70, even if it's still clunky due to things such as no instant Foul.

The gear that really needs to get freed from class-locked limbo is the single-job only crafter/gatherer gear - the King/Fiend/Soph/Rise/etc sets. You know, the sets that get released with every expansion for scrips, that nobody ever buys because aside from the fact that they're locked to a single class they also get outclassed by all-crafter/gatherer gear. The sets that almost always get completely unique models (like That One BSM-Only Top that just came out with DT) that are never reused for anything that actually has wider usability than the single crafter/gatherer they were initially designed for.


The real insult though? Over on the Chinese server (and I would imagine the Korean one too, but I haven't checked that for myself) - you can buy all of those outfits on their equivalent of the Mogstation. As Level 1, class-unlocked, glamour gear. Granted, the last thing this game needs is more microtransactions or store content, and I know the CH/KR servers are both handled by different companies and not SE directly, but still! The fact of the matter is that, the gear exists as proper glamour gear! We just don't have access to it as such on the global servers.

This should never, ever be on the mogstation. We pay monthly for this game. They do not. It should be a free feature for us.

i desperately wish we could use crafting/gathering gear as glamours for combat jobs. Ever since they unveiled the trailer for Sage in Endwalker, i've had a idea for a glamour that i've wanted to implement for the job. This being a scientist wielding aether laser weaponry. the only problem? No scientist looking gear to be found anywhere. Alchemist has been receiving gear that i've DESPERATELY wanted to use on Sage for years.

We finally got a scientist themed glamour outfit earlier this year, but it's such a basic outfit that looks like a halloween costume, nothing like the alchemist gear that looks like someone who stepped out of a lab after hours of experimenting.

YoshiP has been asked about this and we simply don't have them on the global client because they do not think they would sell well.

???? Literally everyone I know has at least one or two sets that's only for crafters or gatherers that they want on their fighting jobs. That shit would sell like hotcakes (or, you know, actually put it as earnable in the game)

You know we've reached a point when people actually start begging for monetized mogstation options to bypass job restrictions instead of just asking for the removal of said restrictions...
