Question 22: Removing Glamour Restriction...

[Jinrya-Geki]

Q22: Are there any plans to remove restrictions on the glamour system (unable to glamour gear that the job/class cannot equip)?

A22: Unfortunately, there’s a certain image that we would like to sustain for FINAL FANTASY XIV. We feel that it would confuse the new players if they see casters in heavy armor and tanks in mage gear.

However, if there’s any specific gear you would like to glamour, we will consider those requests individually so please request them through our official forums.

Hmmmm.



So you can confuse the new players with tanks looking like casters, but mages like tanks is a no-go. Hypocrites...

I wonder if they feel that it would confuse the new players if they see tanks in bikinis, or if they get kicked from a dungeon or primal for being new.

Would have been more immersive to create Eerie for casters, Mummy for DoW, and Frankenstein's Monster for Tanks.

But I agree, gear like this weakens the immersion argument.

Not much to weaken there, it's not an argument, just an excuse. "We don't want to do that" would have been more honest.

i think they should restrict some sets like AF but opening up the restriction should be a must at this point... their argument was invalid once a tank could roll out in the leopard bikini, the eerie set only proves this more, and seriously i have only seen one tank on excalibur who glamored the eerie coat.

I feel like this was just a poorly translated question to begin with. That particular question has been asked before, and we've gotten the same answer, pretty clearly.

What's been talked about a lot more recently is the fact that you can only glamour one job for gear that shares jobs. Your WAR can look like a WAR, but then your PLD is stuck in the default look. Or they can both look exactly the same.

That and the fact that there's no way to "remember" glamours, so they end up taking up tons of storage space.

I feel like the translation/community teams just did a crappy job asking what people are actually asking these days. Unless the other languages' forums really are still asking about the same restrictions we've known they won't lift ever since they announced glamours.
