Mr. Yoshida, About the Glamours

[ovIm]

There's no need for that kind of hostility. We have no idea the complexity of their systems under the hood, but they have often said it can be much harder than expected to make seemingly simple changes.

Well, its literally because CS3 are stubborn and immune to feedback. Yoshida himself said that they won't do it because they want some resemblance of visual integrity (which, looking at screenshots in this thread, and considering the abomination that is the Fall Guys Event, is a joke and a half.). So I can't say the frustration with the devs is entirely unwarranted.

I agree that the "job identity" response hasn't made sense in a long time.

That response always makes me laugh. "it would feel awkward say if a Black Mage jumped into an instanced dungeon with full plate armor".

Really? THAT would feel more awkward than "jumping into a dungeon with a team of players, as per my screenshot on the previous page, wearing bikini's with frog/chicken/bunny/chocco/pumpkin heads!?
Yeah - sorry - can't take YoshiP's comment seriously with that in mind.

"It would feel awkward say if a Black Mage jumped into an instanced dungeon with full plate armor."
Anyway here is my black mage's impression of a gladiator/paladin

I wonder how...

cough.
"Some" unpaid people people do it in like 30 minutes time (if not less).

I wonder how.

I don't know anything about that and neither do you

Because all they have to worry about is client side

More over, another observation I've seen is that almost no player doesn't want this to happen. So I think this restriction is a developer preference, rather than a player preference.

[ACE135]

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the excuse pertaining to job/class identity is just that - an excuse. Because when you queue a roulette and find yourself in a team that looks like this:

It really does make an absolutely mockery of said excuse.

At least a bikini doesn't resemble any role's armor.

Actually I'm also for keeping the armor restricted.
