Glamour restrictions: a hinderance to creativity

[Enkidoh]

Some people are afraid that if we aren't given SE assigned outfits then we will all be running around in panties, stockings, and a bikini top. Oh, wait. We can already do that. Be assured that a Paladin wearing a skirt would be too silly, though. /s

Um...



*wears the Sping Skirt as PLD and looks awesome not silly!*

Also fun fact: the AF5 legs for PLD are literally called a 'skirt' anyway.. so there you are...

the fact that red mages cant wear amons hat is an actual crime

And not just because is a campy hat that is red...

But because Amon is a MAGE. Even the fight on Syrcus Tower shows it... How his outfit ended being an Aiming set is beyond comprehension.

It's not that hard to comprehend. Scylla is a mage too, and someone had to be used for the ranged DPS outfit. Amon definitely seems the better choice for a bard costume.

Additionally, Scylla uses a staff and Amon doesn't have a weapon, so again she is visually the better choice for mage gear.

It's not locked because Amon's gear should be locked to aiming, but because (in the current state of the game)) aiming gear has to be locked to aiming.

Afaik the Scouting/Striking set is not from a boss. Aiming could have pulled something like that as well... Or they could have made Casting having the original Amon's set and Aiming a recolor of it, leaving the healer to use Scylla.

Honestly, I don't think Scylla is a better choice than Amon, given the latter uses iconic Black Mage named spells and his silhouette (and overall theme) gives a lot of Kefka vibes, which is a mage character, so agree to disagree on that point.

While I understand the sentiment for certain sets, I'm generally glad that they have restrictions on glam. The last thing I want to see is casters walking around in heavy armor. It would look dumb.

I have bad news for you... There's already dozens of options, from actual Caster/Healer sets to All Class glamours that looks like heavy armor... Full plate even, in some cases.

Have you ever considered that people who play mage roles usually - don't - like to glamour heavy armor?

Just because optiona currently exist does not mean one has to be okay with more being added. Their preference is just as valid as the preference of those that want less restrictions.

Afaik the [Syrcus Tower] Scouting/Striking set is not from a boss.

The Guardian set is oddly named (IIRC it's the name of a different FFIII enemy with the same model) but it is Glasya Labolas's outfit.

I mistook it, in fact is the Fending set that is not from anything from Syrcus Tower and apparently is loosely themed after the boss of another raid.
