Increase glamour plate limit.

From 200 to oh, about 10,000 please, or ∞ There is no logical reason for such a limitation. Or flesh out the glamour system to be more like WoW's transmog system. Say what you will about WoW but the one thing they did right is how their cosmetic system works. Every item you obtain is added to an appearance library and unlocked for the entire account. Glamour plates is like halfway there to be honest. But they're heavily limited. Only 200 slot. Sure that's another 200 slots to help take some pressure off our poor retainers but I'm stilled forced to prune some items, can't keep everything for glam because how much unique items there are versus how much inventory space is like not at all comparable. There is also the amoire but like countless sets won't go into it even though it's a set. I love FFXIV but the cosmetic system has always been cumbersome. Yes there has been lots of improvements made and I appreciate it. But I feel like something more drastic is needing. Especially as more expansions and more content patches are added with ever more unique gear and armor. Especially with new jobs coming in with unique armor sets. You can even keep the glamour prisms. And the plate system to make a more streamlined and sensible system. Because combining plates with traditional glamouring is kind of awkward. So basically the glamour plate mirror/dresser thing should be made into a gear library. When you use a prisms to add an item to the library you can then put them in sets you make with the plates. The difference is instead of physically adding the item into a limited space special inventory you're unlocking the appearance in the glamour plate library. This would focus most glamour to the plate system. It would also allow us to clear out mass amounts of inventory space and make room for other things. Especially for those who do DoH/DoL they need that space. I've avoided doing those just because I don't have the inventory for them. I know the main devs are Japanese so they may never get this message, or not like it. Maybe they're convinced inventory juggling is somehow fun. I don't know. But I'd really like to see this change.

I agree that 200 is low, but I don't think we really need more then 1,000.

The logical reason is this is not WoW, and the game is still working on old 1.0 code which brings a ton of other limitations that often take several years to see fixes/changes.

I have said multiple times, they need to go all in with the glam dresser and make it more useful.

It is useful now, but it needs to be more useful in ShB.

Increase the amount it could hold to maybe 1000 or no limit even.

They need to increase the amount of glamour plates to equal the amount of available jobs, including crafters/gatherers.

I love using a different outfit for every job, so more plates would be great.

Would also love it if we could glamour items anywhere.
I don't understand why it's limited to specific areas.

The limit needs to be equal to the amount of unique item appearance in game minimum.

You do know WoW didn't originally had a cosmetic systems at all right? That WoW is running off a modified version of the original Wc3 engine? And they made it work.

While I agree that the system needs expansion, we've been told again and again WHY they can't just open it up. Every time we get a few slots it puts a certain amount of traffic and load onto the item servers. If they just opened it up and said lets just let them go till they break it, it'd kill everyones game. I'm also all for an overhaul but I have my doubts as to players actual willingness to wait for new content while the limited resources of the FFXIV team gets devoted to redoing such a core component of the game.

And like I said, this isn't WoW and what Blizzard may have done cannot be so easily replicated by SE, and besides players may not want the same exact thing in another game. If it was so easy to add this they would have done it a long time ago, but considering how long it took for the glamour dresser to be added to begin with, a glamour library is just a pipedream. Also WoW doesn't have platform restrictions considering XIV is on PS4, so that's another thing that can delay big changes (see PS3 history).

This is one area where WoW kicks the absolute crap out of FFXIV. It's not even close. And WoW is older, so FFXIV has no excuse. This game is way more cosmetic-focused, too. So it's extra bizarre. They need to stop making excuses and buckle down to remedy this. I dunno what's going on with this dev team or server infrastructure where adding features seen in other games will somehow light the servers on fire, but I'd rate that as a critical issue, because it's very abnormal.
