More GLAMOUR PLATES, please!

40 plates is the next logical step and would give some futureproofing if we are sparse and only want 1 plate per job, for every job.

21 Regular Combat Jobs
2 Limited Combat Jobs: BLU + Beastmaster (confirmed)
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.

Agreed. While I don't expect them to keep doing 2 jobs per expansion as I vaguely recall mentions of doing 1 in the future, 40 plates would future proof a whole lot more in that case.

I already have a single glam for all crafters, one for gatherers, and one for all my casters. Even though I wish I would be able to do individual, unique ones for each. Even crafters have class-exclusive glams that are so beautiful and cool, but don't get any use in practice for lack of space.

I just don't understand what's keeping them from making more. It's ridiculous how a game whose incentive to play is cosmetics have very limited resources for said cosmetics. It's extremely frustrating.

It took what, like 10 years for them to let us put cash shop glamours in the armoire? Unfortunately they just don't prioritize player experience much.

It's actually absurd you can irreversibly lose items you paid real money for still. That just shouldn't be possible. You should always be able to retrieve them from a vendor or a menu or something. This is early 2010s levels of bad.

I think what is really funny, if you will, is that Final Fantasy XI gives players two hundred slots for possible style lock (their version of Glamour) and yet this one only has twenty for Glamour plates and that games' over twenty years old.

No i'm not saying we need two hundred of course but I think as someone has said forty should at least be possible.

[Gokki]

Yeah, i stopped doing glamour because i can't make new plates. it's sad

This is one instance I wish we had WoW's glamour system so that we wouldn't even have to worry about storage space for glams.

Adding more plates solves nothing and just delays the inevitable. It's a bandaid on a gushing wound, because everyone here knows that realistically, they'll just add 7 more plates in 8.0 and call it a day for the next 2.5 years. And frankly, even if they added 40 more plates, it still wouldn't be enough for a lot of people.

For a game that puts so much of its reward space into glamour, what we have just isn't going to cut it and will never cut it. The entire system needs to be reworked and they need to allow us to make as many sets as we want, along with automatically saving every piece of gear that is bound to our character. We also need the new mobile game's dye system, where once you unlock a dye its usable forever which will circumvent a lot of the problems with the new set system they have started to implement in 7.1.

"Muh spaghetti code," no. Enough with the excuses. If OSRS, a tiny MMO by comparison by a niche developer in the UK can afford to hire an entire engine development team that works on the spaghetti code that game has from 2001, there is zero reason Square Enix can't do the same.

More plates would be great, but the glamor dresser is just a big pile of bad decisions. I would like a better, more sustainable glamor system.

No no, 200 would be great, actually, just call it future-proofing lol
