I do have to point out that, depending on how the game is coded, this might not actually hurt players with multiple characters.

It seems like a single account can have up to forty characters, but let's just take a conservative estimate by looking at just the "8 characters per world" setup.

As it stands right now, each of 8 characters only has access to 400 glamour slots and 15 plates. But if those are all saved individually, what we actually have are 3200 glamour slots and 120 plates across the account (and a whopping 16000/600 if we count 40 characters).

If these individual catalogues could be recoded so that *every* character has access to *all* dresser slots and plates, then technically no one would lose and everyone would gain substantially more. Those of you with eight characters, now every single character would have access to 60 shared glamour plates (the same as you had before), but a shared dresser pool with 3200 slots.

Honestly, if this is at all feasible, I think SE should just do it. In fact in my head it feels like they absolutely could do a workaround for it, since even if the data were character-locked, you could just have a toggleable feature where every character can swap to viewing another character's (or character slot's) dresser and plates. Think a "superpage" button that let's you view 400(1), 400(2), 400(3), etc. etc.

We are already running short on both glamour slots and plates to accommodate Endwalker content, and so much of the game already revolves substantially around personal aesthetics. And if you look at the data this way, if the devs tried expanding the dresser or plates, it's not just one per account. It's actually a 40:1 ratio. For every glamour plate they have to technically add 40 (or 8, by our lower estimates). For every 100 glamour slots, they have to add 4000 (or 800). And while I am sure that most players don't exercise it to its fullest, they can't keep expanding glams in that direction forever due to space concerns. So if there is a way they can reallocate the space they already have, then they should.

Think about what this could imply for other things, too. I wouldn't go so far as to advocate for shared inventories, but maybe shared retainers for additional storage space. Just a thought.
