Glamour based on Class/Job

[Shinji2787]

Hello! (had to break into couple parts due to character limit...)

I did a couple searches but didn't seem to see if this was a suggestion posted or not when I searched for "multiple glamours". So posting it here.

It is a sort of minor thing, but it would be nice if we were able to have two glamours stored per item since many pieces of gear now are shared by at least two classes. The most acute example I can think of at the moment would be the PLD and WAR gear. When I get these two jobs to level 50 I would like to have my PLD glamoured to look more like a knight with armor to match shield and sword with a majestic appearance; however if I were to be using WAR I would prefer to have a wild appearance similar to the differences between these two job's artifact armor. Both of those jobs have starkly different lore/visual design aspects even though they perform the same role. A similar case can be made for the differences between BLM vs SMN; and also WHM vs SCH.

I believe that the game code could easily handle this already as it appears there are mechanics in place already that at least check the glamour to ensure it can be equipped by said class. If we treat the glamours similar to materia, in terms of a stored piece of data on the item, then it seems like it would be feasible to utilize the existing system of checking the glamour prior to applying graphical appearance based on job. The logic would be for the system to check the job of the player, then based on the job select the appropriate glamour slot, then apply the graphical appearance. In this case whatever job you are when applying the glamour is how the system will know what slot, and how, to "affix" the glamour slot. e.x. As a PLD I glamour the Weathered Noct Lorica to appear as Valor Surcoat. Because I am currently a PLD when applying the glamour the system saves appearance Valor Surcoat in slot 1 as condition "Must be GLD/PLD for appearance to take form".

Hopefully there are others that also support this idea and that someday we can see it become a reality!

I was thinking something more along the lines of using glamour on cross class gear. Id really like to use some of the PLD/WAR gear on my dragoon

Want gauntlets and sabotons for my casters. Make it happen SE.

I'd like to see different glamour on the same gear as well... A possible solution is to make glamour gearset dependant instead of gear dependant. I'd like to use my fisher, minor and botanist hats while wearing the foragers hat.

Sure the prism cost would be increased that way but it would work I think for everything atm.
