{Glamour Plates} {Can I have it?}

[Hichiru]

Let's get right into it. 15 Glamour plates simply is not enough. There are tons of armor and weapon combinations that no doubt someone somewhere worked either tirelessly to create and/or equally to acquire in game.

I currently only play 1 class, Dark Knight, and with that one class alone I have filled every single plate with a unique glam of my character. I'm sure you all understand how long it can take to complete a glam, especially if it requires you to continuously grind content using party finder (if you know, you know). These armor sets are used to match the "look" of my friends when we go into instances, or even to capture my mood for the day. Glamour really makes the experience, and at this point I somewhat feel like a collector that has run out of shelf space. And with even more content and items coming out in the upcoming months with the release of Endwalker, I can't help but lament the idea of having to remove glamours from these plates to make space for new ones. A lot of us have worked hard to acquire a lot of these items, armor pieces, etc. in order to customize our character to what fits our "fashion fantasy" - currently there aren't even enough Glamour Plates (15) for each DoW/DoM class available (18)

Though I am not entirely sure the challenges it may create on a developers end to increase the amount of glamour plates provided, I do believe there is a big demand in the community for a significant increase in the number or plates available.

1. Add Glamour Plates as rewards for progressing MSQ
2. Add Glamour Plates as rewards for achievements*
3. Add an event in the Golden Saucer with the rewards being additional Glamour Plates
4. Add "Additional Glamour Plates" as a purchasable item in the MogStation (Ex: $5 for 2 plates, $10 for 5 plates. $30 for 25 plates)

This all creates avenues in which the player can engage with the game/community or just help support the game's growth financially.

Let's also bring into light that Glamour Dressers are currently not accessible inside personal or free company homes.

This is also a glaring issue, as it's already hard enough to acquire a plot of land, and the amount of time and gil spent on making the house look nice, the amount of gil to actually purchase a private chamber, and I can't even change my clothes in there. Unfortunately, I have to travel to a foreign city to go to a hotel just to change my clothes. Please allow me to put a Glamour Dresser in my private chamber so I can try on all my legendary outfits within the comfort of my own home

Thank you to the devs for listening to the community, you've truly made an unmatchable experience for the players investing in your game and for that I feel I cannot thank you enough.

Best Regards,
The Dark Knight of Legend

I like this. Considering all the gear we've gotten to this point and all the gear we'll get in Endwalker, I would like some extra glam plates. It's always hard choose which plate I have to get rid of in order to make a new set.

No thank you.
They should be working to make more plate space for everyone, not charge extra for them to already paying customers. Maybe if FF14 were a 1 time purchase instead of a monthly fee... but as is this sort of feature has no place in the mog station.

I agree with this post entirely. Moving into Endwalker with fifteen glams would be really depressing. I'm sure plenty of people like myself still use armor sets from ARR for their glams, and factoring in all the content I mean in all seriousness... fifteen was never enough to begin with. I would even go as far as to say we should get some for free, along with more that you actually earn in game. The most notable thing from this post though in my opinion is that glamours do in fact make the gameplay much more enjoyable overall. It can go down to a personal level, making moments with other players and friends.

I've been waiting for a thread like this, 15 plates is not enough especially when you take into account all of the different classes you can play and class specific gear across them all, more glamour plates is a justifyable addition to the late game and ever paying player

Are you insane?

My understanding is that SE aren't restricting glamour (number of plates, number of slots in the dresser, only being able to change in cities) because they want to be difficult. It is down to the limitations of the old coding and server load. I'm sure Yoshi P would love to give us a transmog system like WoW's or as many glamour plates as we yearn for, but his hands are tied.

I also believe that he hopes this will change at some point in the future, but it is dependent on other, more fundamental changes taking place. He said something to that effect in the last Q&A. As an example of what I mean - we're getting increased space for rings in the armoury but only because we're losing belts. We can't have more glamour plates etc (or not lots more currently) because of technical limitations

I can't tell you how great it feels to have matching armor sets with my FC and friends while doing Savage Content. I honestly feel so bad when FC members run out of Glamour Plates knowing they have like 3 plates set to our "FC outfits." Obviously it's still a choice to choose which outfits are saved to your plates but this just shouldn't be a problem imo; at least not to the degree of having only 15 plates to choose from. In all honestly I could see implementing over 50 Glamour Plates which would allow players to create and express themselves freely.

Exactly! I have so many legendary weapons, each have their own unique armor set... What will I do when there are even more aesthetics I want to add to my Fashion Fantasy collection

Quite possibly. I would gladly purchase more glamour plates if this meant it was the only viable option for the developers to increase the limit. As I said early I would not expect them to implement all of my suggestions, I just want to keep a broad consideration for all parties involved. With this suggestion in particular I would also keep in mind that there would most definitely be a cap regardless of the varying acquisition options.
