Glamour System Updates (Continued)
Commodes can retain up to 200 glamours. We would like for you to add items you are most likely to use for glamour.

The role restrictions will still remain, but you’ll also be able to create macros which can swap ensembles along with gear set macros.

You can make ensembles of specific parts of a set of gear, and also apply regular glamours as usual.

Dyes can be applied per ensemble.

Certain items, such as those that can be stored in the armoire, does not need to be converted to glamours.

Duty Recorder
The Duty Recorder feature will allow players to record and revisit their adventures in instanced duties. You’ll also be able to view the battle from the perspective of the other party members.

In addition to this, there is an idling camera mode, and group pose mode, so not only can you use this feature for reviewing, but to also take screenshots as well. You can also view from the enemy’s perspective, and change the speed of the replay playback. You will not be able to play the recording in slow mode, as this will make it difficult to retain the integrity of the packets.

Duty Records
You can save up to three recordings. To record a duty, the following conditions must be met:

• Duty Records must be enabled.
• Parties must meet the minimum size requirements.
• A record ready check must be initiated and all party members must consent.

The record ready check will set an anchor point in the recording once all party members consent, then the countdown timer will begin. When reviewing the recording, you may begin watching from this anchor point.

The Duty Recorder feature will not be applied to all duties when first implemented. We will look into aspects such as the amount of data, and resources that may be required for debugging, and gradually add more duties where this feature can be used in. We’re sure some players may not want to be recorded so this feature will not be available in a matched party. Please form a party first through means such as using the Party Finder. Players will also be able to check if the recordings will be allowed or not through the Party Finder.

The recordings will only display your own character information. For other players, it will only display their job names. The recording will resume until the duty is completed. Since it’s not actually recording a video, there isn’t any concern of storage space running low. You may change your perspective to any battle object, which includes pets as well.

Records
Records may be viewed inside inn rooms, and records that you wish to save can be set not to be overwritten.

Please note that you will not be able to view past recordings after patch updates. This is because the feature is replaying the battle itself using the battle system and not recording a video. Therefore, when there are job adjustments and such, it will not be able to play with those previous statuses as they were.
