I was suggesting something like what the ARR intro and DRG level 80 quest does where they'll put your character in job gear appropriate for the referenced level (i.e. in the DRG level 80 quest it flashes back to HW so your character is always in the level 60 job gear)
The thing is I'm not sure if they actually have a flag that checks for your current job that would allow them to do this or if the ARR intro is just an edge case where they made a different cutscene for every single possible job, which would explain why the only other time they've ever done this was in a job quest which wouldn't allow you to use anything else anyway.
And I would bet that if you had fantasia'd race/gender that it would show you in your current race/gender in the Dragoon armor from HW so it's not snapshotting what you're actually wearing. It's the game saying to take your character and display it wearing X armor. Even if you never wore said armor. Some characters may have immediately had enough tomestones to replace some, if not all, of the level 60 dragoon gear with level 60 tome gear of a higher iLvl in preparation for Stormblood. So they may have never done a single quest wearing say the chest piece.

And as I personally hated the level 50 female Dragoon armor, I hope that if they add a just show relevant quest gear for character's current race and gender, that it's optional. Because the armor is something I hate and I do not want to see it in cutscenes and I'd much rather it show my current glamour than see that ever again. For those that don't know, the female dragoon level 50 armor exposes the stomach. The male version does not. It looks entirely stupid and unrealistic for a dragoon to have a stomach exposed when they are tasked with fighting dragons that are known for having claws and other such parts that would love to see that much exposed skin.
