Less robes, please

Good thing you can glamour the robes away

I'm all for more glamour options myself.

I agree. However I wish mages could get some "glamour" armor like the kind tanks and dragoons wear and vice versa.
Who ever said that mages could only wear robes anyways. Its not like bulky-looking armor hinders us since we cant move while casting anyways :P

Which is why i love the daystar gloves/sollerettes. They're not your traditional mage attire. They're actually armor....too bad (and surprisingly) the evanstar set are not a palette swap as is usually the case

Gary Gygax did - the creator of Dungeons and Dragons, which pretty much every RPG since has utilized basic elements from - one of which is indeed, class restrictions for armour (specifically, the 'no heavy armour on mages' rule.) FFXI's manual actually stated that BLMs can't wear heavy armour because (paraphrasing) "it would otherwise interfere with their ability to concentrate".

Really, if you want to wear heavy armour, maybe you should consider a career change to a tank class methinks?

ITT: There's no pleasing anybody.

^This pretty much. Once again, no matter what SE does, it's always wrong.

And yet nowadays you can have fantasy settings where entire races can perform magic wearing anything from commoners' clothes to nobles' finery to centurions' armor.

Tanks don't really have much restriction in terms of style, material, and variety.

Oh! Cloud! Your hair looks like a chocobo!

I'm sure a DoM can wear the same.

Very true, but it is still cloth. I can wear pretty much anything that isn't a long robe. Mages don't have much in terms of metal plating.
Which is pretty pointless. All this glamor specific gear they keep adding defeats the purpose of the restrictions.

If the glamour restrictions are supposed to enforce the idea that mages wear magey gear and tanks wear tanky gear, I shouldn't be able to cast all these soft casual clothes on my armor, or they should just remove the class restrictions.
I'll be set with either, but all this indecisive inbetween nonsense isn't cutting it.

Just throwing it in for the sake of it (as someone else will probably mention it anyways), there's the eerie robe from last years all saints wake (or whatever the halloween event is called).
