The Ivalice armor sets ... those and the Nier sets will probably be forever locked behind their respective raids.

But as a solution to Maulclaw's problem, FFXIV already has his fourth option inside the game, since the crafted/vendor gear can just be put on market board. It is just sucks that the same model cannot be recolored at will.
Fair. If we're getting into semantics. However it is still impossible to point at any older sets and reliably determine when the appearances will be recycled as a crafted set in the future. Thus, "just wait for the crafted version" is not a catch all when we might be talking next month in EW, or 2 years later in the next expansion, or 4 years later in the expansion after that, or never actually lul.

And again, while in this specific situation there is a crafted/dyeable version of the gear the OP trying for, they also expressed that the dye version still doesn't satisfy their criteria... so they're willing to settle for base version to complete their ideal glam. So I agree with their sentiments of dissatisfaction. It shouldn't be harder to get an out of date gear drop for glamour than it is to get a current end game mount.
