So, they're finally at least considering giving us a glamour log?

[Niwashi]

Is that what this sounds like to everyone else?
And why would addition of one of the most asked-for features in the game be an offhand remark following a question on a (mostly) unrelated subject?

Yoshida: However, we are planning to make big adjustment/changes to glamour, and considering features such as recalling the appearance from equipment you previously owned.

I've seen that before, but I also saw them state that they were considering implementing a "glamour history" which makes me... less hopeful...

As for the latter, as generally dismissive as they've been toward it, I think they're going to undersell whatever it is they do until its done.

Given their past attempts in implementing suggestions and content, specifically the orchestrion, underselling won't really help if they completely miss the mark on some form or overcomplicate it.

People have asked for glamour logs to be able to easily access their appearance settings and possibly set aside glamour choices for different jobs (especially for those that have entirely different thematics, like BRD/MCH and the tanks).

In the case of the orchestrion, it's implementation was needlessly tacked in that it sourced the bgm itself, and you'd essentially have to be in front of it to even hear it (and it was already lower in audio by default). People wanted a simple means to change their housing bgm and it was unnecessarily complicated for whatever reason.

Well, at least this time they referenced it being for "equipment you previously owned," suggesting it lets us glamour items without needing to still have them. So it's more than just a recent history that's only for quickly finding what you'd glamoured last. Of course, that detail isn't enough to let us know what limits if any there would be on it, and that's what will really determine whether it's useful or not.

Because they might not follow through and people will rip them to shreds for lying.

Or since the inventory fix is a bust. 4.1 on the horizon and no more space added. This buys them more time. People will hold on for another year, hope is an evil tool.

I'd say three years is plenty (three years, last week, coincidentally).

Anyone remember this little gem?

Letter From the Producer LIVE Part XVI Q&A Summary (08/11/2014)

Q: Is there any update on the weapon and armor log?

A: We've currently finished off a lot of the details, but we have to plans for implementation, we've been estimating the amount of work for each. The first idea would simply have players building a collection of weapons and armor, while the second idea would allow players to read the lore surrounding the gear they obtain. However, this data will affect the player data used in real time, so we are carefully investigating this at the moment. Next week we will reach a conclusion and proceed for actual implementation, but if we decide to go with the first idea it will be implemented in patch 2.4. In the case we decide on the second option, it will be implemented a bit further in the future. In any event, we've progressed quite a bit on this and we will have our verdict soon enough.

[Penthea]

Most likely they don't want to say much about the development of it until they have already been working on it for quite some time. It's not good pr to go into great detail about a feature if there's not even an estimated release date. Doing that results in a lot of unhappy players if it gets delayed or cancelled.

[Avatre]

And why would addition of one of the most asked-for features in the game be an offhand remark following a question on a (mostly) unrelated subject?

Probably because they were talking about inventories(though specific to retainers) and glamours tend to take up a fairly large portion of said inventories.

[White_Wolf_X]

Would not count on it..
