So glamour plates are dumber than anticipated...

It's not completely terrible... Just... needs a little tweaking/

Oh... Well then. I'm glad I saw your forum post first before I started messing with the plate system. Figured I'd have a plate with my for laughs Titan getup to put on any job, any time and take it off to look as my jobs normally do. But since it's a permanent overwrite that erases any glamour that was already there, I'm not bothering with this thing at all. :|

It will fix!!! Soon! I feel it

Christmas is soon. Should we expect it before then, or after? Especially considering the end of all life in the known universe is soon too(or could be, you never really know).

Make it 20 plates and 2000+ item storage, this system will be fine.

Okay, yeah, this didn't work the way I expected.

There's no 'equipping' of plates here. 'Equipping" implies one can take it off easily. This just isn't the case. Plates are simply macros that change the glamour on all of your stuff at the same time without costing any more than 1 prism ever. I'm struggling hard to imagine any use for this system, sans making one or two 'universal' outfits, EVER.

Yeah I thought plates were meant for being able to make a glamour set but you could still glamour pieces individually good thing I tried this out with items I don't use anymore.

Things that are cool:
new pieces of gear can be almost instantly foofed into your preferred glamour without spending anything. Once you have a "look" you can just push a button and you're there again! All the way down to the rings.
Tons of gear space free'd up.
Most things I was concerned about "permanently" putting in the dresser are available from the calamity salvager should I decide I want to put it on a retainer/squaddie.
Zomg, unified prisms, finally. No more stocking 5 different types of catalyst mats just because I need an armorsmith, weaponsmith, weaver, leatherworker and carpenter prism. I stocked up on cheap weaver mats and kerfoof. Prisms.
My worries about one use per item were unfounded, you can use the same appearance on all 10 plates if you choose to.
Expensive dyes straight to the base item. One jet-black is going to do for that jacket for the rest of my gaming experience.

Things are not cool:
10 plates is definitely not going to be enough if I level more jobs.
back and forth between armoire and glamor dresser inventory is one more step than really is necessary.
Glamour can ONLY be applied in cities. If I'm swapping from SMN to BLM in the field I'm gonna be SMN looking for a while..
Cannot be applied to NPC's and the system makes items unavailable to do so.
This overwrites "traditional" glamours instead of overlapping them and being removable. I hoped "base" would act like another plate but this didn't turn out to be the case. (workaround, leaving "blank" spots in my glamour plates.)


and that's about it. Otherwise it's a good system that can be built upon. Here's to hoping we end up with 500+ slots and 30 plates eventually.
