Specifically, I want to be able to have separate jobs use shared-DoW with different glamors. PLD and WAR wearing Ironworks fending? One wears the PLD PVP armor, the other wears WAR AF. Same thing for Summoners and Black Mages.
Fistbump and sagenod to this. If my character can master every class, why do I have to change weapons just to change clothes, at least in terms of what I can Glamour? Why can't I mix and match appearances? I don't see how wearing a BLM top to tank in is any worse than wearing a costume bikini, which is already been done rather heavily now anyway.
I know in other games, the complaint from PVPers has been that it makes it more difficult to know who is playing what part of the Trinity, but I haven't really taken that seriously in the past, and even less so in FFXIV.
They probably restrict it because it was a nightmare in 1.0. Like some of the dated gear mentioned, it was equipable by -anyone-. ...So new players would end up wearing gear that wasn't for them, like a CNJ in heavy plate mail. ...I do think they could relax the gear requirements though, since DoM and DoW seems plenty. It's not difficult to tell any class/job apart in appearance, save SCH/SMN.
