Honestly, they should just make the glamour system in this game the same as DCU Online. For those who didn't play it, in that game, you could glamour anything you could equip, no prisms, no silly quest to unlock it. Equip the piece, go into the menu, couple clicks and it's glamoured. Also, it saves the glamour to the server, meaning once you've equipped a piece, you've "unlocked" it for future use.....even if you throw the item away, it remains part of your glamour options. Forever.

It also saved the look you set, so any future upgrade armor/weapon you obtain, the game automatically converts that new Chest Armor of Badassery +2(because +1 had one less STR. Duh!) right into the glamour you've saved, regardless of what it is. Every time, until you manually change it in the menus.

Oh, and before anyone comes in here and says "PS3 limitations! Can't be done!" DCU Online is playable on PS3/PS4/PC, the same exact platforms as FFXIV.
