So glamour plates are dumber than anticipated...

[valentinas]

I've never really understood this argument. As is it, we already have plate gear that healers can wear, skirts for tanks, not to mention bikinis, chocobo suits, emperor's new outfit glamours, bunny suits, snowman, ghosts, and a ton of other things that make absolutely no sense for characters to be going into battle wearing. This game does not really seem to worry too much about keeping things realistic. What is the harm of being able to share gear between the classes? Party roles are clearly marked in a party list and weapons/skill animations make it clear what job a person is on. :X

THANK YOU!!! this is exactly what i am thinking )) especially now that there is a glamour plate / glamour dresser system, one of the logical steps forward is to unlock class restrictions ONCE the item is placed into the dresser

Because it would look really bad in my opinion, for example, to see a tank doing his job while wearing a healer's set!...

Class restrictions on glamours are fine by me and I hope SE never changes that!...

really, because all I can see are a constant stream of wierd flashing colours. There are so many combat effects that you don't actually see what anyone is wearing. And if you think a tank in a healing outfit is bad, what about a tank wearing a pig mascot head and bikini? The "feel" of the game is no longer as stringent as it was.

I still vote for an option to make everyone on your own client a "standard" glamour, like the squadron was. No more hula girl and bananahammock guy shenanigans in my dungeons..

That would be a viable solution!...

I could make everyone look like standard NPCs in my own game while the rest of players can have whatever look they want in their own clients!...

Lift glamour restrictions = Option to make other players wear standard outfits.

Win - win in my opinion and the only way I'd support it!...

are people really this bothered by people's glamour choices? really? in a series where the average protagonist is likely to wield a sword and no armor?

Because it looks any less silly when a tank wears a bikini?



Truly am I ready for battle!

Outside Artifact gear and the occasional few special bits, I really don't see the point of locking gear when you can glamour the above.

I can't believe they made a good system that worked well... bad. Why change it at all then!

[SnowLiore]

This is pretty dumb setup but i'm wondering if it's a bug. I tried this with my BLM and RDM for an example. Both share the 340 gear. I decided to glamour both independently to their respective 290 gear and save to the gearset. Now /gearset and pull up the gearset list you'll notice that via preview AND the "display set" it actually says both my BLM and RDM are set up in their job gear but when swapping of corse it does not and you have to click on the plate and set the plate you want to it.

Wait - the good old glamour system we had, is it still available AS WELL as the new system? Haven't been ingame since patch yet.

Yes. The new system isn’t separate in the end, it’s essentially a quick method of applying multiple glamours to your current gear.

That’s also why class restrictions still apply - once the glamour is applied from the plate, it’s just the same as if it was applied manually, with the same rules determining whether it is seen or not.
