Has there been any mention of overhauling the Glamour system?

Honestly, as much as I love FFXIV, the Glamour system seems overly complicated, to me, and I think it's the biggest reason that inventory-space is such an issue.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again; FFXIV needs to adopt a similar system to Guild Wars 2's Wardrobe.

Instead of having to store all that data on every single character, you instead "unlock" items' appearances on the Account-wide level, merely by equipping them. I would still keep Job restrictions in place, obviously, and I'd even be fine with keeping level restrictions around.

By utilizing this kind of system, it removes the need to hold onto EVERY SINGLE ITEM you like the appearance of, because let's face it, EVERYTHING looks good in this game. It would take some work to implement, but the end-result should be more convenient for players, and presumably less taxing on the servers, as (most) players wouldn't be so starved for inventory space.

Plus, it would be awesome for when you acquire those items with Gender-specific variants, to be able to unlock the corresponding clothes for the opposite gender (namely, the Lightning Returns clothes).

I support this! Guild Wars 2's wardrobe system is the best I have seen.

Dear lord yes please

Pretty good idea tbh.

<-< One of my retainers has nothing but stuff that I use for glamour.

Yeah I find it very troublesome that in all these interviews, not ONCE has Yoshida mentioned the concern about our big inventory woes. With the three new jobs, players who leveled and USE all jobs at any given time will have their Main Weapon tab in Armoury Chest at 23/25... That is WAY too cramped! And not counting glamours either, of course.

I have four retainers and am fighting to have any space left >_<!

He did, actually. But it was just to make an excuse for why adding inventory space is hard.

This cracks me up. Adding more inventory is hard. Adding more housing plots is hard.

LOL. Why am I actually paying a monthly sub for this game. Putting items in the cash shop doesn't seem to be that hard...

He needs to step up and fix some of these more major problems. Of course its hard, but this game isn't F2P. I would actually have more inventory at this point then another round of ilvl upgrades >.<

Like I said, I feel like Glamour is really eating away at a lot of players' inventory-space. Using this type of system would lighten the load, pretty substantially I would imagine. It would also be a lot easier to manage, particularly if you could save Glamour "Sets", to easily fill in any un-glamoured pieces as you get upgrades, or even just to bounce between different "looks" from time to time.

I like the glamour crystal system honestly. If it ever does get changed, I hope glamour crystals continue to be necessary to change appearance. It's great having an easy way to make gil just by having a level 50 craft.

Though I must say, I'm really not sure how people have so much trouble with inventory space in this game...one of my retainers is full of outfits I glamour too, but the other one just has random mats that I'm just too lazy to sell. Her inventory would be completely empty if I did some spring cleaning.

Do people just keep every little material they get?

What I have in my inventory are clothes to use for classes & jobs that I'm leveling up. It gets crowded with gear for Disciples of War, Magic, Hand & Land! Not to mention their weapons or tools incase I want to use it on a retainer. My armory is super packed with items for all these classes & jobs and it's hard to switch from inventory to armory gear when their level goes up and can now use better gear. Some weapons I keep, because I like the way they look cool, as well.

I would totally like a vanity system similar to DC Universe Online. It's the only MMO I played before this, even though briefly, but their vanity system was really well done. Once you attain the item, you unlock it's use for vanity forever and can get rid of the actual item once it's useless. Vanity had a separate page from leveling gear, so you would place what item you want whether on vanity or gear. They also allowed to change the color of the item in three different spots for three different colors. Really cool!
