ADD GLAMOUR EFFECTS SETTINGS

[ForteNightshade]

I suppose I'm a bit... indifferent? I don't think the devs should be wasting resources on a feature like this since I suspect it would take considerable time for them to essentially make an option for every outfit in the game to have an AF option. That being said, with mods growing increasingly popular. You may appear different on someone's screen already.

Put it this way. If they were going to dedicate time to improving glamour systems, I'd much rather it be on making the glamour dresser a housing item or allowing our glamour plates to be applied outside major cities.

I can see many situations where this feature would be very useful, screenshots being a big one. Screenshots and glamour are two huge activities in FFXIV, and why should he not be able to request the ability to take more immersive screenshots?

Would it really be immersive to see everyone wearing the exact same thing though? Especially if those outfits were the supposedly unique Artifact sets. Likewise, if it simply turned off our existing glamour, you'd have a complete mismatched mess.

I'm not really advocating the feature, rather the right to request it. I wouldn't mind it defaulting to AF gear, we already see so much duplicate glamour anyway with tomestone gear etc. Again, it would be an option, some people might prefer that, particularly in battle instances, and its about giving people more freedom and choice.

I doubt it would need to check every outfit uniquely, rather have a stand-in depending on what job the player is. Gear already checks the players job, so I don't see it as much of a stretch. As for whether its worth it or not, we already have options for visual alerts, colourblind options, tonnes of additions to performance and Gpose, things that take resources and are for a very niche audience. Hell, I imagine more people would use this feature than clear Ultimate. I guess its that age old argument of "Just because you won't use it doesn't make it a waste of resources".

That isn't a fair comparison seeing Ultimate reuses assets already in the game. TEA is the first time they ever did anything new, and considering the massive attention Ultimate garners. One could argue they're putting some of the revenue gained from Ultimate back into Ultimate. I'd also call it something of a reach to say more people would even use this feature than those clearing Ultimate. Glamour is huge in this game. I highly doubt many people are going to be keen on a feature that essentially removes it. I mean, look at other niche activities. Perform isn't exactly setting the world on fire, and PvP mounts are often more rare than the Ultimate titles.
