Regarding that Finaland Interview...

Every time I think Yoshida can't be out of touch anymore then he already is, he surprises me with this:

Finaland : Yes but for example if I take a break from the game for two months, and my subscription is not active, I can’t log-in to do that and will lose my house.


Yoshida : If you had an appartement you wouldn’t even had to log-in !

Bruh, you sound like a typical forumer just now. It's not even sidestepping the issue, this is straight up crossing the street to change sidewalks just to avoid someone except it's done with some sass.

But this next one takes the cake:

German Media : Glamour restriction seem to be very hard since you can only glamour items of your own class or fellow classes that share the item. Would it be possible in the future for example to have a White Mage being able to glamour parts of Paladin’s gear ?

Yoshida : But then it wouldn’t be a White Mage anymore !

German Media : The community was thinking about just some parts like hands or boots that really fits with the other outfits.

Yoshida : But everybody have their own taste, if there is one person that think that those Paladin’s gloves would fit really good with their White Mage outfit and that’s just one person opinion and some people might think that looks ridiculous.

The time to look "ridiculous" is looooooong gone. Now granted, he gave alternatives and there is a thread for that but still...for someone who's a fan of Blizzard as a company, I find it hilarious that he can't take a page to learn to be flexible and let the playerbase be whatever they want to be rather than indirectly control how a job's supposed to look.

I dunno. At least he didn't go:
"You think you do, but you don't."

I mean I'd like less restrictions on glamour, save for maybe keeping artifact sets job specific for glams, but blizzard's transmog system isn't exactly more flexible.

They have similar divisions. Play a rogue? You're limited to leather xmog items. Paladin? Limited to plate.

White/gray items like a wedding dress or tuxedo? In WoW you can't mog these. Also in WoW you can't even equip items over your character's class' armor type. So while in FF XIV you could level a tank to wear tank gear on your character if you want to, you cant' even do that in WoW in many cases. If you're a mage, you can't ever put on leather gear for RP for example. WoW also restricts holiday xmogs to the duration of said holliday.

The only thing WoW's transmog system has over the glamour system is account wide appearances being saved rather than having to hold onto items.

I'd have them take inspiration from XI's system. You are able to glamour any item, to any job, and you can make/set outfits in any zone you wish - all for free (no crystals or anything). The only catch is that you have to normally be able to wear the item on the main class. So to glamour a level 99 ninja piece, you have to actually have your ninja at 99.

Damn. There go my chances of glamouring healer/caster robes as a tank.

...Can't you do that with most of ARR's healer/caster robes though? >w>

Oh yeah. I would love to use the High Allagan healer robe though.

Given our inventory bloat... that's a pretty big deal.

Don't have to grind appearances per character...
Don't have to drop by the inn anytime you want to apply an appearance without having to hold onto the appearance's source item...

Only step after that is to save appearances to slots, job-by-job, so that new gear doesn't force the use of a glamour prism of inn run, but that convenience likely might not be as worth the systemic hassle here as on WoW.

I've seen this before and I keep hoping there's just some misunderstanding or translation error. He thinks wearing paladin gloves as a white mage is ridiculous? His response is ridiculous.

Yeah. I mean you can do way crazier things already using non job specific gear. Like swimsuits, chocobo/moogle/pig suits. The sky rat and shisui fending sets are hilarious as 'tank gear.' Wedding dresses and tuxedos, character costumes etc, there is already so much you could do yet he thinks that THIS is pandora's box and will cause untold chaos.
