Why are cosmetics so restrictive?

I've always wanted better looking hoods. Slightly off topic but the amount of decent looking hoods is ridiculously low, and like the helmet visors i think it would be absolutely incredible to have the option to pull up/down your hood.

It's most likely for a cohesive look, so you can see without glancing at weapons what kind of class that person is.

You know, like how the tanking Sky Pirate set is now the aiming Ghost Barque set, or how a version of the Wrangler's set now belongs to gathering classes.

If that is the reason it is a failure since one can't see that anyway. It would also be something which is not needed.

SE should just remove restrictions but add a QoL toggle feature that allows players to view others in their non-glamoured gear. Win-Win.

I'm all for toggles. More options the better.

Not win-win. The whole point of glamor is for other people to see it.

True, it is. However, I'd appreciate the toggle so I can be spared seeing male cats in speedos with the moogle head on.

I could complain as you when i see female cats wearing ridiculous thongs and chicken/pig heads.

If you dont like it, just dont pay attention to ir. There are many things to look up.

Ah

So basically a win for you but not for the other people who are not interested in seeing your glam, despite having countless of others who will not turn off the toggle.

Gotcha.

The part that makes me the most upset is that the changes in class restrictions mean that the ONLY dyeable versions of the Nomad set are locked to DoL/DoH (which, ironically, means that the NPCs get more glamour options than we do - Cirina's an archer but still gets to wear the Kudzu Coat of Gathering).

It also means that I have to collect about half a dozen rings/necklaces/earrings/etc from every dungeon if I want to be assured of having one to glamour on hand at any given time. I just don't have the space for that.

I would like to call upon Square Enix to do (at least) one of the following things:

1) Revert DoL/DoH gear and all accessories to All Classes.
2) Otherwise remove glamour restrictions on DoL/DoH gear and all accessories.
3) Remove glamour restrictions on all gear.
4) Make reasonably easy to obtain (no Aquapolis hunting, etc) dyeable all class versions of things like the Kudzu Coat of Gathering.
