It's time to remove job restrictions on glamour...

Look, I get the whole immersion argument, but folks can straight up dress up as full frogs now. A white mage in heavy armor doesn't look any more "lore-breaking" than a frog body with a chocobo head shooting a mechanized drill at monsters.

Throw wide the gates. Lift the restrictions, SE!

Sorry don't agree.

you're a viera, your opinion doesn't matter

My kitty likes the restrictions too. Sorry but racial and gear/role diversity are a good thing. Don't need everyone to look the same sorry. SE appears to agree.

but doesn't having more restrictions result in more homogenization like you're saying?

Don't need everyone to look the same sorry.

Meanwhile, we all look the same anyway in role restrictions.

Everytime new gear are previewed many try to figure out and joke about which gear belongs to which role since they look similar to each other, but with minor adjustments. Except healers, its obvious from the white robe that its a healer.

Gear restrictions would be nice if they were consistent. As it stands, people can already glamour the low-level mages cowles and robe since they're available for all. They're also making glamour version of former mage-only gear items like the battle mages set, astral robes and others; yet they don't bother doing that to melee dps and tank gear.

Do they? We have a bunch of gear locked to role, yet all they seem to do is recolour and rebrand that gear to fit other roles, I've seen plenty of gear that was exclusively for striking or scouting that is now able to be worn by casters/healers, just with a new name and coloration, for example, the Star Velvet Himation of Casting/Healing was a set that could only be worn by casters/healers, but...oh, the lvl 70 Brightlinen Himation of Striking looks awfully similar doesn't it? This is just one of MANY examples.

Really, at this point, the restrictions serve very little purpose but to stifle creativity, by all means, make it so Ninja can only wear scouting gear, but must this restriction also count for glamour too? Why can my monk not glamour the Yaefumi Coat of Scouting, a count that is a literal colour swap of the Yaefumi Striking coat? Make gear role locked to what you can equip, not what you can glamour.

By all means, keep the artefact gear restricted, job fantasy and all that, but the idea that restricted gear creates "role diversity" doesn't hold up anymore, you can have tanks run around in linen robes and swimwear, as well as just recolouring old role gear and re-purpose them into levelling gear for other jobs, clearly they aren't following the rules that hard.

Would actually make more people look different if you could glam items from different classes/races.

[Vaunhause]

I disagree.

Why? Because I like the idea of having class sets that are unique to that class. And that's all there is to it.
