    Lack of Weapon Glamour Lately

    Debated for awhile about posting this but after latest patch and having been on the farms for some older content, it's been bugging me slightly.
    Since EW it feels like there has been a severe lack of effort going into making weapons specifically for glamour, barring "status symbols" like Ultimate. DT especially has highlighted it even further...
    From the ShB tier of Extremes we *still* don't have any crafted weapons for SoS and Diamond Weapon.
    This was a problem in EW as well with Reaper and Sage, but Pictomancer and Viper have barely any sort of glams to work towards with old content. They said they were adding some in "unexpected places" but the only ones that were not already expected (pvp, deep dungeon, the EW dungeons, E12s and P12s) was TOP and the Alolo Island Savage upgrade.
    I know it takes some effort to come up with glamour for weapons, but lately it feels like they don't particularly care anymore. I like to be able to switch out glamours or have a sort of "theme" for certain times of the year, but it has been becoming more difficult to do that with new jobs.

    I still use the King Moggle Mog Katana as glam whenever I pick up SAM, literally no mechanical reason to exist but I'm glad it does

    Yeah sam and rdm got spoiled when they came out. They had a lot of glamour. When GNB and Dancer came out they had less, but I originally let it go because there was a few good ones. But then it seems to get worse for every new job. I don't expect weapons from stuff that it isn't at level for (example I don't expect gear from a Stormblood ex on viper) but I would think they would do these so people would want to farm old content.

    It's disappointing for sure, and while I'm fairly sure they've acknowledged that people take issue with this, nothing's been done about it...

    Glamour without restrictions* is long overdue!
    If you think so too, help keep the thread going!

    why not? they did it for sam/ rdm like we just explained (i/e shiva was an EX, moogle was an EX, these were current long time ago and was treated at one time like the current EX now are.

    Because VPR starts at level 80, so ShB would be its first relevant expansion

    RDM and SAM got proportionally more weapon glamours probably because there were less weapons needing to be made per fight at the time. Every new job adds more to the overall workload for weapons from that point forward.

    Plus, since RDM and SAM released at level 50, it feels more like they got "everything" because there were no lower endgame levels for them to miss out on.
