Glamour Gear Request Megathread

[zenfrodo]

the biggest thing I'd like to see in Glamours & Clothing in general?

DITCH THE GENDER-LOCKS & GENDER-STYLES.

Look, if someone wants their toon to dress sexy, GREAT. More power to you! But please, devs, let us make that choice for ourselves! I shouldn't be forced into glamouring over gear because the game thinks female toons' clothing must expose breasts & butt. I shouldn't have to look longingly at a male toon wearing an awesome raid drop, then find out that the gear changes completely when my female toon wins it & tries it on. Women have been wearing supposedly "male"-styles now for well over 70 years; all of our cultures also have long traditions of men wearing supposedly "women's" styles, too. Could FFXIV please catch up to the times & stop shoving female toons into skirts, garter belts, & high-heels?? Glamming over it is a shaky workaround, especially since new players can't glam until late in the ARR MSQ. When I changed my first toon from male to female, too much of the cool gear I'd earned & bought became unusable (goodbye, Bohemian/Snow's Gear *sob*). There's no reason why any gear bought on the Online Store should be restricted via gender. The Far Eastern Officers Attire, Mun'gaek attire, Abe's Attire, Nezha Lords, Butlers, Hien's, Thancred's, etc etc etc? Why are any of those sets considered "male"-only? Why are any of the "female" sets considered "female-only"?

And no, the "breast" thing is not an excuse. Not when you have a game that goes from tiny little Lalafels to tall/skinny Elezen to massive walls of Roe'gadyns & every body-type in-between.

This whole issue is about choice. I don't care if someone personally wants to wear miniskirts/garterbelts or run around in thongs or whatever. Great! Go for it! All I'm asking is that all of us be given a choice. Give us a toggle that allows us to choose between sexy/practical or pants/skirt or male/female clothing models, PLEASE. Open up all clothing to both genders. There's no reason not to.

Suggestion: a series of Lv.1 role-based gear with the models of the various job AFs.

Example: Lv.70 Red Mage job gear + some kind of crafted material = Lv.1 dyable Red Mage Lv70 gear for all DoMs.

Reason: AF gear is seen so rare nowadays, and I believe the primary reason is because nobody actually wears job-restricted gear anymore, due to the fact that gear with any relevance are all role-restricted and unique. And because they are unique, glamouring job AF over them would mean any other job of the same role wearing the same pieces can often look completely ridiculous.

Alternative solution: overhaul the glamour system so that the contents of glamour plates are not written onto the actual gear pieces, but rather that we "equip" the glamour plates. Glamours are still displayed subject to job restrictions, but now two jobs wearing the same pieces can have different looks by equipping different plates as part of the gearset.

It would be nice if we could get level 1, no-role-locked glamour-versions of the Nier raid and Ivalice raid gear. >w>
Maybe you can trade in the token you get for clearing the raid to get a piece of glamour gear from that tier.

Can you guys help a kinda-but-not-really new guy out? I’m looking for a one-handed sword and shield that would work well with Firion’s Wild Rose outfit on my paladin.

Things like the lvl 80 BRD set come to mind.

It's so upsetting that the beautiful embroidered pants don't exist for female models. Meanwhile, male models miss out on an awesome pair of boots. They spend time designing and modeling two completely different sets, and players don't get to enjoy it. Male BLU could have had shorts to match the look/feel of the female set but instead we got [Pair of Slacks #74]. It's so uninspired and stale.

I can't overstate how much I wish they'd stop doing this.

I don't know if it has been posted on the previous pages but I would absolutely love it if they added Godbert's Glasses, or the "Dated Weathered Spectacles" series back to the game:

Hello! This is likely my first time posting on the forum. Good to meetcha!

1. Calfskin Rider Hat: Manually adjust visor would be great if you could do exactly that. I'm sure MANY of us would get a lot more mileage out of this item if we could wear it backwards as well.

2. An opposing team gearset: If we're going to have the calfskin rider stuff, it would be really fun to have another team so people could have a friendly preference. Maybe any of the big FFXIV cities? Maybe a blitzball callback? The Aurochs? The Goers? The Abes? People love trying to fit their personality profiles into certain teams.

3. A less bulky cap: The Calfskin Rider Hat is kind of large and unflattering.

4. More tattoos/tattoo patterns: The tattoo items are clearly popular and I know many players who would be really ecstatic about more options to suit their different styles. This would go especially well if they're not gender or class locked.

Have you tried the Diamond Sword and Onion Shield?

There is also the Sword of Light and Shield of Light, but that requires Seat of Sacrifice EX which I think you don't yet have access to.
