If you just add anything you think looks good, anything which you might want to use in the future, you'll quickly run out of room because there are thousands of nice gear pieces in the game. Because of this, you end up having to throw out gear if you don't have anything in mind for it, even if you think it looks good. This is frustrating because some gear is really hard to get again if you later decide you do have an idea for it.

I would really like to be able to use the glamour dresser as a "catalog", where I could just put in any gear I think looks nice, and then come back to it later and come up with outfits based on all the pieces I've collected. But to do this you'd want to have a lot more appearances than what you can currently store.

Ideally the glamour dresser space would simply be unlimited, and you wouldn't actually even have to add items to it, it would just automatically log the appearance of any gear you picked up like the transmog system does in WoW now. But I realize this is probably out of reach for the XIV team currently, so I can only request that they increase the space as much as possible.

It shouldn't be out of reach. Esentually a system that allows you to have every item in the game is just a check list (you have an item or you don't). Since your personal check list would require little more than 1bit per item it might be less data than the current system. Of course that would be a system that doesn't store dye information with each item. Personally I prefer not to have dyes on items and just add them in the plates.


I personally think plates should just be part of each gearset. The appearance would not be applied directly to equipped items.

Yeah, I agree there shouldn't be a cap on glamours in the dresser. There should also be like infinite amounts of glamour plates. If that is not feasible than like 5,000 glamour slots and 100 glamour plates, lol.

It would also be nice if there was a sort or filter feature to make finding role/job specific gear easier. That could also be applied to the rest of the retainer/inventory system as well.
