We really should be able to glamour other jobs' sets

[GrizzlyTank]

Or how people weren't sure for the longest time whether the DT AF gear with the criss-crossed belts was BLM or RPR's lol

True, the latest RPR one could very well have been what Lulu would wear in X-2 if she was the 3rd party member.

Yeah, More so since the hood covered parts of the face. It gave potential Tribalistic or Less Covering MAGES. Look

But we now know we got a Full Robe set and Cat Staff. (Some Love it, some feel it's same old same old. At least the AFs are different enough. but not like "OMG Look at the Art Direction". Tbh, with DT I just didn't feel that much direction in many of the things.)

As for the hempen topic.

It really depends.

Just like Racial Gear, I'm fine with both being kept race specific.

But if they're gonna be Race Specific, Make them Actually Special. (Even If some of you love having Copied Hempen Sets of the original races. I'd Easily Shove and replace your hempen set. if it meant something new and special for the race exists. even if I don't play it.)

But I also understand many people want the set.
As Au Ra Main(With 1 Male Mid, And Female High/Roe and a new future Rothgal once congestion ends.) I love my Hempen Set, even if I haven't used pieces of it publicly in game.

While I'd like to keep the specialty and rarity of it. I understand how some would like to mix and match.

As a Semi Leftover of the Original XIV, while clearly still existing and spread out in the current XIV. (I mean, how many pieces of gear even exist as underwear despite being labeled armor. WHMs know what I mean. Swimwear that is only a hopskip from a Ganguro's Closet as well, Know what I mean.)

Either make The Remaining, not special Hempen, become actually Race Unique. or release for all. (Though between this being unique, or AF being unique. AF is by far not Unique at all. So that would likely get unlocked first. as literally everyone can use it, just not in all roles/jobs.)

[Also Reminds me how I wanted there to be a New Racial Set, like the one from character creation. But to Be representative of the new Arc for all individual races. Different and Race Locked. So you get your New Adventurer(arr set) and your (Back to adventure, and seasoned <Race here> set.) But I'm getting off topic.]

Well just have to see. Though the plate does seem full on what we ask of them to do. Hope they find a way to please us fast. we won't stop asking for this.

Hempen sets should be separated out and made available for everyone.

The whole racial-diversity argument went out the door the moment SE got lazy and reused them for the last two races.

[Tsiron]

They could've at least picked more... thematically appropriate? ones rather than the default Midlander (and Roe for male Hrothgar, I think?), but I guess that would've gone against it being a cost-saving measure more than anything...

bumping because I'm still mad that I can only wear these pants on dragoon/reaper



(wouldn't it be so awkward if a dragoon could go into a dungeon dressed like this btw)

[Chasingstars]

Just make it so only the current expansion has restrictions on armor and accessories. Any expansion or ARR, that is not the current one, armor and accessories have no restrictions and becomes "all classes". The only exception for armor is literally the starting racial armor the player gets upon character creation.

That way you can preserve the job fantasy for the current expansion, while players can enjoy mixing-n-matching armor and accessories from old content. As this also lets players engage in more content as they spend more time getting and assembling whatever glamour they want.

Also this would be a step ahead of what World of Warcraft is doing where while there you can collect any gear piece for transmog/glamour purposes, the player in Warcraft is still restricted based on armor type and class for what can be made into an outfit.

If you hit the requirement to wear a certain piece, you should be able to freely glamour it on any other equipment period. Why are they so hellbent on restricting the player like a little toddler it's just condescending at this point

i think: if you have the class unlocked and leveled appropriately, you should be able to access it period. if you don't have the job unlocked & leveled, then you can't bc your WoL has never gotten to that point. but if it has, then you should be able to wear it however you'd like. so it's more of a "stripping requirements from gear" and "your WoL has unlocked it and can wear it however they please".

SOOO MANY cute crafter/gatherer-only pieces that would look GREAT on our other glams that we can actually run around the world in!!! bc most of the game is fighting TwT

[GTK0HLK]

got some ideas with the backless miners top.

[Arzalis]

A system where the glamour is unlocked for every job as long as you have leveled one to meet the requirements of the gear is what I'd love to see.

It would actually be good game design and fit in really well with what is already here. That is also why we're unlikely to see it ever happen, sadly. This game is a patchwork system of quick fixes and most things rarely have any longterm thought put into them. There are countless examples of systems that are good in theory, but have really obvious "expiration dates" because the devs don't make systems that are built to last. They seem to think 4 months ahead at most, and even that is generous.

It's actually a persistent problem and I think is one reason they seem to have manpower issues nowadays. They've made so many poorly thought out systems that need constant maintenance to keep functioning and meeting player demands that it eats into their dev time for other stuff.

[mallleable]

Making a good glam for a job can actually make playing that job more fun. I wish there weren't so many restrictions for players.
