Yoshi, your reply to Q22 in the XVIII Live Letter was false and dishonest.

That's still a blatantly stupid way to answer that question.

Is the glamour system not based on armor ranks like every other MMO, where you have access to everything below your class' level of armor Heavy->Medium->Cloth->Misc?

It isn't, as they seemingly based glamours entirely on class restrictions rather than armor class (FFXIV does not have armor classes the way LOTRO and WoW do). And this was more because when originally discussed we had a bunch of people already complaining about how they didnt want black mages in full plate armor and how tanks in bikinis would look ridiculous.

Chances are they'd have to create a completely separate ruleset for glamours separate from class restrictions or make everything available for everyone. Of course, they could go the SWTOR route and implement "all classes" sets that are plate and dyeable acolyte gear and so on in the cash shop. I don't think they'd be dumb enough to do that, but...

I always figured it was convoluted and retarded.

You mean JOB, as classes can't wear AF or use Relic Weapons.
