Im tired of casual attire glams

[hiedra]

I hate to complain. I’m a 1.0 player and this is probably the first time I come on the forums to complain about anything. But I’m tired of casual glamours.

I’m not saying that they should be removed from the game or that they should stop making them. Clearly there is an audience for it otherwise they wouldn’t keep churning them out. I want those people to be happy too and to be able to get new glamours.

However, it feels like every side content in the game is sticking to just casual glamours. Glamours whose materials come from maps have for the most part been casual in the last couple of expansions. The last couple of unique glamours you buy with PVP currency has also been casual. Island Sanctuary glamours have been casual as well with the exception of the rank 20 set. Latest Halloween event also had a casual glam. Even the Mog Station has been strictly releasing casual stuff for years now.

Most of the stuff we get from dungeons now is recolor of old stuff, which leaves us with a limited variety of sources for fantasy themed sets. PVP season rewards was the one place I could count on to get some amazing glamour set I could wear at any level. But this upcoming season took that away with yet another uninspired casual glamour. Im not saying that we shouldn’t have that glamour at all. But it better suits treasure maps. Not to mention that I doubt certain races will even be able to wear that hat.

The main problem I have is that the casual glamour is so uninteresting. And I agree we seem to have skewed towards it and away from fantasy glamour.

They keep data on glamours, so I assume they see that lots of people use casual glamour items.

I feel like they've run out of ideas for regular fantasy gear, or the restrictions they have on how they make gear just ends up making it all look the same anyway. I can't even tell if the new dungeon gear is actually new or just recolors and mixed around versions of existing gear.

The new dungeon gear looks like a mix and match of old assets with maybe some new stuff thrown in, but it doesn’t look unique either.

We seem to have skewed towards Sci-fi and casual themes and away from fantasy in general.

Yeah space exploration are good, and I know a lot of Final fantasy has sci-fi side and robots, but at this point it's too much.

Please let's return to the roots to how FF11 was

As a Balmung resident, I can attest that casual and swimsuit glamours are like 65-80% of people's outfits.
And considering a lot of these options like the holiday sets (re: This recent All Saints outfit, which is a good suit with a literal recolor Catoblepas horns from the Saucer) will eventually be $21 on Mogstation which means they have financial incentive to make casual glams.
And being perfectly honest, I wish they made more Mogstation outfits than occasional dripfeeding last year's holiday costumes. But on the flip side, I also wish they were like half the price or less because who the hell decided that a PAY TO PLAY MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION mmo should also have a cash shop vastly more expensive than any Korean MMO ive ever played.

That may introduce a selection effect.

Old seasonal gear is never that expensive – more like $5 than $20. (I can never remember the exact prices after exchange rates.)

Also I'm pretty sure the new horns aren't the same as the Catoblepas horns, beside the basic concept of small upward-curving demon horns. I did think they were similar before going back to try on the Catoblepas horns again, but now I think they're a different placement and texture. I'm not in the game now to double-check though.

Yeah, the model of the different horns aren't the same. For some reason this claim that they're a recolor persists, and I first saw it in a crazy rambling thread that threatened the developers with torture, so it paints a poor image of the people repeating it...
