    It would be amazing if SE would contact the developers of DC Universe Online, which is both free to play as well as pay to play. The style system in that game trumps the glamour system in FFXIV in spades. It's basically exactly what we want plus more. If you equip an item once you can use the appearance (style) of that item regardless of whether you have the item or if you tossed it. There are items in that game that you can purchase which are simply styles which are one time use items that add the style of that item to your available choices of styles for whichever armor slot that the style was for.

    That's what we need. If DC Universe can do it, there's no reason that SE can't implement a similar system. I seriously feel that the dev team should actually play DCUO and check out their style (glamour) system, and if necessary contact their dev team if they need any assistance with how to implement a similar system in FFXIV.

    Yes there is several potential reasons why SE couldn't replicate what DC Universe did in FF14. The two games run on different engines. The capabilities of those two engines and what their limitations, strengths and weaknesses are could quite likely be completely different.
