Please remove glam restrictions

[Ivtrix]

No reason not to support this

I wanna be a tanky looking war caster pls SE

[SassyAssassin]

Agreed, everything but AF

[Atelier-Bagur]

Everything including AF

They should also untie the level requirement for glamour. I shouldn't have to be all 90s to be able to wear any piece of gear as glamour.

I really don't understand why they went the route of tying glamour restrictions to equipment restrictions. I guess one could argue laziness or money saving or both. But with the reworks they have already given the glamour chest, I hope they will work on untying glam from equipment restrctions

When you say it like that, yeah. I have to agree-- though AF 100% needs to be job locked. It's meant to be iconic. If you can have a bikini tank, you might as well have platemail dancers.

In addition to AF gear, perhaps it would be good to lock the gear relating to the current expansion or patch as well. So, for instance if 7.0 were to come out, then 7.0 gear would be glam locked. Then on 7.1 release all gear from that expansion release is unlocked, while anything released during 7.1 is locked. 7.2 release unlocks all 7.1 while 7.2 is locked and so forth.

This would give people time to really appreciate the gear on each release, but also give you something to look forward to.

I disagree with this. You should have to earn your glamour to some amount. I would prefer it if they allowed you to glam anything as long as you had the level to equip it, but I don't think we should go further than that. You shouldn't be able to unlock every class/job and immediately glam every item without having the level to equip those items.

I won't even get into the thing that we can already glam those hundreds of cosmetic only items to bypass the alleged silhouette excuse...

But if you stop for a hot minute and analyze the art direction of the items they put out every patch... There's no cohesion or commitment with the whole amor weight fantasy.

Half of the most recent fending sets don't even look like heavy armor. Sometimes straight up fabric that would otherwise fit a caster (Pandaemonium 1), sometimes other jobs get tank looking gear (Aglaia). So yeah, the art direction is defnitely not working under a briefing that emphasizes cohesion with armor weights.

The glamour restrictions only make sense to artifact sets, which are about the only consistent thing because it ties with the job fantasy directly.

This would be nice.

We should also be able to glam an item regardless of level as long as you can equip both items. It's a pain to adjust plates and glamors for level 70 or 80 duties like Eureka or ultimates.

I wrote about it here, in case anyone is interested.

There's also a thread requesting glam restrictions to be removed here, if you want to show your support.

Not particularly a strong case as other MMOs with superior transmog systems doesnt lock level restrictions and people are generally happy and fine. Heck I think even FFXI; the previous MMO had less restrictions on what items your allowed go style lock.

Why should FFXIV have to limit themselves? I say let people have fun with the system. I for one believe itll make a lot of people happy for it with relatively little to no consequence at all.

Well, the idea of restricting it based on latest expansion/patch release is to save people from themselves. Gear during the latest expansion/patch release is actually useful as gear. While you should always have the need option ready for anything pertaining to your class, things could still get a bit toxic.

As for the level restrictions... this is FFXIV, not other MMOs. That's just pure whataboutism. This is a game at the end of the day, and I don't think it's unfair to ask people to play the content in order to receive the rewards, cosmetic or otherwise.

Again, I'm saying this with the idea that glam restrictions are loosened a bit(before someone who doesn't know how to read gets other ideas)., but if you want to glam the healer top then go play a healer. If you want to glam the pally pants go play a tank. If you want to glam anything pertaining to any dps go play that role.

Assuming they removed glam restrictions by role, I don't think it'd be asking much to ask people to have to be able to actually equip the items they want to glam, even if the glam is for other jobs. It gives people something to aim for and makes them play the game. If we're not willing to add a condition like that, then we genuinely just need to accept that this game is going to be a SL/Imvu sim instead.
