    [Request] Ability Glamour System

    I believe this was touched on by the development team in the past, but is there any chance for an ability glamour system to be implemented into the game? For example, replacing the current tank combo animations with the old enmity ones, swapping out Lucid Dreaming for Luminiferous Aether on Astrologian, or changing Rampart to Shadowskin/Foresight on Dark Knight/Warrior. The list really could go on. Not every job needs to have an equivalent (scholar has none for Lucid Dreaming), but I think players should have the option to see their favorite removed (or level locked) animations, icons, and sound effects back in the game and available to them.

    I think it would be best to start with abilities that have obvious correlations. I have mentioned some before, but there are actions like:

    Rampart -> Old Rampart (PLD), Shadowskin (DRK), Foresight (WAR)
    Esuna -> Old Esuna (WHM), Leeches (SCH), Exalted Detriment (AST)
    Lucid Dreaming -> Shroud of Saints (WHM), Luminiferous Aether (AST)
    (God forbid: Art of War -> Miasma II)
    Addle -> Virus (All)
    Peloton -> Swiftsong (BRD)

    All *enhanced* variations of spells and abilities: Stone I/II/III/IV, Bio/Miasma, Most upgraded combos, etc.

    In-game, some of these options could be labeled as "classic" icons/abilities, potentially only being client-side (like Bahamut's size setting). Over time, I think the system could be expanded upon with player feedback. I would be interested to see what the community comes up with.
