Glamours, Veteran Rewards, and Main Characters

[Vielle]

If I am not mistaken, now that we will have Squall Glamour, we have glamours for the following games and their MC:

I - WoL armor (Crystal Tower1 armor),
II - Firion model veteran reward
III - OK armor (Crystal Tower1 armor)
IV - Decil iconic helm, Pecil Circlet
V - I don't think we have anything for good ol Buttz
VII - Cloud model veteran reward
VIII - Squall model veteran reward
IX - Zidane model veteran reward
X - Teedus/Yunie model reward from stream
XI - tbqh, don't know much about this game, but we have armor from there.
XII - We do not have glams for Balthier, but we have a job that fires a gun, and armor that would make you take a second glance.
XIII - Lightning/Snow models + weapons.
T - (Ramza Ch1 when??)

So, how much money do we need to throw at this to get a Terra glam? Or to make GSM1 armor equip all? To dress like an opera floozy?

Look, Setzer is nice and all, but he's no Terra, Celes, or Locke.

I think they're mostly avoiding adding costumes based on female characters because players will (rightfully) have fits if iconic gear ends up gender locked, like the tantrums that were thrown back when we thought the Setzer-themed gear would be male only. It's actually pretty strange how conservative the FFXIV team has been about allowing male characters to wear feminine gear considering the most iconic protagonist in the series canonically dressed in drag (And apparently looked amazing) in order to get picked up by a pimp, at least one other popular protagonist spent most of his game made-up like a beauty queen and, well, KUJA's existance.

They do finally seem to be coming around, with male characters getting their bunny suits, finally, and the promise to unlock some of the female-only gear; though since it's been a few patches since we've seen any progress on that front, it might be about time to start getting loud about it again...

My point is, until SE gets over it's bizarre recent hangups about what's appropriate for male characters to wear, we're probably not going to see much in the way of gear based off classic FF ladies (At least not that isn't locked behind a $30 paywall).

[Vielle]

I don't mind the $30 paywall. I get the arguments for/against locking glam's behind a veteran's wall. If I was one of those dozen folks who like Squall, and I just started playing, I'd feel a bit defeated that everyone's favorite emo protag was locked behind $500+ in subscription time.

Long time subscribers should be rewarded somehow, glamour's is probably not the way to go about it. I just want the opportunity for Terra/Celes/Locke glamour, the same way we've received glamours for 90% of the other protagonists. Locke being the easiest. Just remove the GSM-only on GSM AF1. Or make replica gear for DoH gear. That would be awesome, WVR gear is awesome, chef hat, etc.
