The Endwalker patch content has been a series of experiments (and that's ok)

I liked the beta version of adventure plates, but then they released the "full" version and made them a clunky mess that breaks if you so much as hide a ring.

The portraits that show up in duties do break and need to be regenerated whenever you change your gear set, but the plate itself doesn’t. They are a lot more static and don’t need to be updated every time.

The only penalty there is that the duty portrait will show up as the default basic pose, so nbd.
