How about asigning Glamour to your Job Crystal, instead of individual Armor pieces?

[Samburi]

Well, not saying itd be easier... but considering its a lvl50 quest to be able to use Glamour, and everyone should have a job by that point, I dont see a problem with this.

I see many problems

1. not every class have a job
2. with level 50 you only unlock the glamour feature. After it, you can use it with every level, even with level 1

I hope SE will change this for us. However, they already mentioned how PS3's/4's memory SONY limits save data. I hope glamour will get priority eventually.

I fixed it a bit ^^

And glamour datas would be on the server side, or everyone on a PC can manipulate the file to glamour their gear with every gear ingame without farming for the gear. Also to send other players the glamour datas from player x so everyone can see the glamour gear.

Then put the glamour on the weapon. It would fix the level problem and the job problem.

And lost all the glamour everytime you get a new weapon? ^^

Because you change weapons all the time of course...

An other possibility would be to add a scroll slot in the gear where you put a glamour scroll that is used to tell what you looks like.

PS3/4 limitations being the keyword here ^^

Another example. This is hardware memory limitation. It has nothing to do with server side.

There is another dev post about why it's hard for them to implement saving attributes for different PvP jobs. There you can read about the limitations once again. Even it it was server side, SE chose to release it on SONY's platforms. I'm sure they knew this when they made the decision. As I said in one of those threads, it's rather conspicious that simple things can't be implemented because of memory limitations <--- their argument.

We need something since the top end gear is shared on two jobs - such as WHM / SCH, PLD / WAR, SMN / BLM and the introduction of augmented AF gear just made it worse...

Why is it so hard for SE to program a system like slots for vanity gear. So if say I wanna use say one pair of shoes in one run and then I decide I wanna use my other pair instead. Anf then Id just be able to tigjt click my item snd choose "equip to vanity slot.

Ive seen something similar in tera and that was a really nice feature.

Why can tera do it anf ffxiv cant? I just dont get it

Oh my. Does Tera run on the PS3, but barely? No. People who have no idea how things work, always say "why is it so hard". What we have now is very minimal when it comes to memory usage, slots in comparison are not. They have very little room to work with on the PS3 as it is, as they've had to come up with workarounds just to get things to fit. For example, read this: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1502985

Slots would do the same thing, but likely cost more memory than a focus target.

People keep saying is not the cause for anything, but it is. And i'm not trying to bash the system either.

Would simply not updating the PS3 client with an improved Glamour system be a feasible workaround? Either the memory usage is low enough from just seeing my Noct Lorica switch from Paladin AF to Warrior AF as easily as switching between the two Jobs, or the PS3 client could just not display such things; to them I'm still in a Noct Lorica.

That's not the type of feature you only allow on certain systems. It would have to work on all of them. I mean, if/when they drop PS3 support they could, but until then...
