More GLAMOUR PLATES, please!

[BokoToloko]

I wonder, how is glamour programmed that it's such a big deal to increase the amount of available plates? One would assume that a couple of text strings would suffice, which shouldn't be an issue for space (or, at least, I think it shouldn't)

Yes please! Give us 100 glam plates because I'm tired of having to use expensive pure white, jet black and other rare dyes often if I could just have more glam plates.

At least gave it so plate can store multiple dye configs. Same items just different dyes.

Give us at least 20 plates per job. No big ui changes needed. Switch job, switch plates.

This, including crafters and gatherers.


The entire system needs to be reworked anyway.

This would mean that if you want a glamour plate to be shared between jobs you'd have to replicate it multiple times.

All the developers need to do is redesign the glamour plate menu to be future-proof using the gearset menu as a template. Just a simple, vertical numbered list which you can reorder and rename. It really shouldn't be hard.

Agreed 100%

Considering how much information is stored in the gearsets, and how much is removed from items when put in the glamour dresser, a gearset-like system would probably be the best solution. Have the preview on the side and the list with them

Glamour plates are functionally the same thing as gear sets, a text file with a list of gear items and their dyes. Since there's no materia, they actually have less data to store. The gear set limit was drastically increased to 100 in Endwalker, so server storage clearly isn't the problem.

I'm no developer, but I'm pretty sure the reason we still only have 20 plates is simply the UI - because they designed it with rows of numbers at the top rather than a future-proof list which could be expanded like the gear set menu. The UI guys made an oversight when designing the menu, and I guess they just don't feel like redesigning it.

That appears to be the reason at least, CBU3 is free to correct me.

There should be 1 plate for each job. Period. No excuses.
