    glam plates

    glam plates are a great thing but sadly the game doesnt really use its full potential.
    here are a few thing i think would be great.

    1. first of all something many players wish for: more glam plates.
    20 would be nice if ff14 were a game in which you can only have one class... but it isnt a game like that, you can lvl up every job on one character. (i do think its crazy how little they lean into that aspect of the game and how little they support it)
    at the very least there HAS to be one plate for every job ( including crafters and gatherers) and also 2-3 additional for player who like to do rp, beach parties and more community driven events or at least to have more than one glam on your main job.... glam is a big part in this game so it should get supported.
    also: why arent ne glam plates added whenever a new job is added? that should be a no brainer.

    2. another whish a lot of player have: connect glam plates to hsir styles. different glams call for different hair styles!

    3. one thing i would personally love to see: connect titles to glam plates. there are a LOT of titles in this game. would be great to be able to set up several through glam plates. this would be nice for people who give their character a background in their head.

    4. the last one is unlikely but i still wann list it. minions and mounts depending on the glam plate.
    we have a mount roulette button. how about another button that lets you call whatever mount you defined for the plate in use.

    those things would allow players to change their characters personality over glam plates. which would allow for a deeper dive into the ingame world.

    1) I agree that there should be a plate per job, and so long as they're gonna keep making class specific gear for even individual crafters/gatherers, those should get plates, too. I love the BSM gear, but I can't really justify dedicating an entire plate to it when I switch crafters so often. (which does bring me to another point: since crafters are essentially different flavors of the exact same thing, they shouldn't have class specific gear in the first place. Just lemme put that BSM top on any crafter, dangit!)

    2) I heartily agree with that as well, but I imaging they'd either give the spaghetti code excuse or avoid it since it's a (very small) gil sink, and they do try to enforce gil sinks.

    3) If you change your classes with a macro, you can set a title within that macro. Every one of my classes has a different one. Here's a rough outline:

    /micon [#] gearset (gives class icon of numbered gearset)
    OR
    /micon "Soul of the [insert job here]" (gives fancy jobstone icon)

    /gearset change [#]<wait.1> (swaps to that numbers gearset job, then buffer time)
    /minion "[inset minion name here]"<wait.1> (changes minion, then buffer time)
    /title set "[insert title here]"<wait.3> (changes your title, and optional buffer time for doing action next)
    /ac "[ability name here]" (for if you wanna toggle tanks stance on, or summon carbuncle/fairy, etc. as part of your transformation)

    So my WAR one looks something like this (though I'm not looking at it right now):
    /micon "Soul of the Warrior"
    /gearset change 2<wait.1>
    /minion "Hunting Hawk"<wait.1>
    /title set "Of Unbreakable Steel"<wait.1>
    /ac "Defiance"

    4) I just have a mount on the hotbar for each class. I believe there's a way to tie it into transformation macro as well? Someone said something like this, though I have not tested it (and hotbars look different on consoles, which I play on):

    /hotbar mount "[mount name here]" [hotbar #] [# spot on that hotbar]
