Please add some kind of multi-glamour system.

[Enkidoh]

Because the glamour system was added in a patch and was not designed from the beginning, the way gear appearance is generated was obviously not programmed with easy implementation of glamours in mind (not surprising given they were rather under the pump to get the game to launch and to ensure it's core systems were functional and free of problems, at the expense of 'fluff' concepts that were overlooked or put to the bottom of the 'to do' pile - glamour is just such a minor aspect of the game in the grand scheme of things and so they had to work with what they had.

However, I do agree FFXI's glamour system (that was added after FFXIV's system by the way) is handled a lot better, but that also has it's drawbacks (FFXI it's called 'style lock' and is a setting in Config, and is actually does not change that gear's appearance, but just locks your current appearance to whatever you happen to be wearing at the time, and is deactivated by enemy attacks that force-remove gear, which a lot of high-level enemies in FFXI use, like Yagudo in Campaign). Also style lock is deactivated if you change Jobs, thus preventing wearing another Job's AF or appearance (see below).

Either way, despite it's drawbacks and restrictions (which are there for a good reason, the 'no glamouring Job-specific gear like AF on another Job - I know I certainly don't want to see some stupid WAR dressing in WHM AF for lulz for instance, which is the main restriction players are complaining about), it's better than having no glamour system at all, and I am thankful for that. If SE can improve the glamour system, great! But I think they've made it clear just what an ugly can of worms doing so would truly be so I think we have a better chance of seeing version 1.0 restored to service and given updates than seeing any great changes to the glamour system I'm afraid.
