Requesting Ratification of a New FFXIV Dev Law

[TThibi]

Because a rule isn't strong enough. I propose a Law that forbids SE Dev team from producing a full expac of Robes and robe armor especially for the following jobs Whitemage, Redmage, Bluemage, Blackmage, Astrologian, Scholar, Ranger(refuse to call it bard), and Machinist. My reasoning is sound, SE gave us an Expac devoted to arid wastelands and Asia in which we run around dressed in neck to ankle drapes whose only design difference is the colorful Christmas ornaments hanging from it or lack thereof.

The law i propose states that SE may release 1 Robe armor set for any of the above listed jobs but for every Robe added must design and release 3 Glamour sets that are of unique style but are not robes, and 2 alternative design armors that are also not Robes or in any shape or form even related to a robe for each job which the Robe set is intended. SE will also make efforts with every patch through Shadowbringers to remove 50 redundant and uninteresting Robe Styles from within the existing game until a 1 in 5 ratio is achieved. After which they may release more robe designs but not in excess of 2 in 5 for the affected jobs. SE will also discontinue using the style for any other jobs instead allowing it to die in fire where it belongs.

Thus proposed, we are not in the dark ages, we are not catholic nuns, we are adventurers in a fantasy world in which most everyone glamours all the existing robe sets into underwear, or swimwear. To insist we dress in such a puritan fashion except in Rare occurrences is an abomination. That is all, if this is a good idea chime in lets elevate this to Yoshi hopefully he will have it tattoo'd upon the foreheads of the entire Design team and it become his new Lifes mantra. Second only to "Look Forward to this."

I need to be more organized. My living space IRL is a mess. My inventory in the game is a mess. Somehow, I'm always losing things that I think I would never lose.

Take, for example, a few moments ago. I read the first post of this thread, and somehow I managed to lose a bunch of brain cells!

Are we being trolled?

.. except some people like robes.

While we're at it I'd also like some level 1 glamour that is actual armor, ty.

I don't think you lost those brain cells so much as they were forcibly taken from you. :/

Mages always wore cloth and robes, redmage being the minor exceotion, Maybe some weird BLM with an armor equip passive in tactics, but....

Ok.........

If only there was some way to change the appearance of your armor to something more suitable to your taste.... oh wait.

While glamour exists I do think there are to many robes capes and gowns for well every job out there basically even melee monks wearing full length coats of striking with virtually every gear set they introduce.

If you want something that isnt a full length robe gown cape or whatever then even with the glamour system you're pretty damn short on options. even on heavy armour jobs there's no reason virtually every plate body has to be accompanied with a full length cape or whatever.
