glamour - sory if this has been asked b4 but it still confuses me... does glamouring equips give extra stats or is it just for visual purposes?

cause i wanna glamour my stuff from the lightning event to my gear but unsure if i should due to not knowing for sure ;/

chocobo's and DF - wasnt there mention a few months ago about somethin bein implemented so we can queue for DF while we had our chocobos out?

wanna start levelin my chocobo again but its annoying not bein able to have it out while queued in Df
