Ah, this ol' thread again, always nice to see it's still active. Still in full support of adding additional plates, as I commented about a year ago.

8 Disciples of Hand
3 Disciples of Land
= 34 Jobs total in Dawntrail.

If they continue at the pace of +2 Jobs per expansion (discounting potential Limited Jobs) this would give them ~6 years of futureproofing of additional jobs being released without running into any glamour plate issues whatsoever.

Doubling the glamour plates seems the most expectable thing they might do and they REALLY need to do this in my opinion - I am already trying to find "cross-over styles" between specific job types (like a dark knight glam that can be used for paladin as a dark paladin for example) to conserve glamour plate space as is.
They did mention more plates "are" coming... after they apparently solved the CPU utilization for housing items so more items can be displayed & placed. Frankly, I wish they had flipped the order here as glamour plates affect way more players while housing is... limited to players who own houses/apartments. But oh well.
