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



    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:



    Bruh

    Bruh

    Bikini Warriors

    Chocobo Suit drgs

    Pigsuit Scholars

    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 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.

    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.
