First off, as an amateur Fashion Fantasy player, I'm all for this unshackling. Long overdue if'n you ask me~! But with that unshackling comes an ever-present worry...glamor dresser space to put it all! Fortunately, I've thought on the subject a bit, and I've devised three things that might help remedy this.
(But before I begin: the Outfit Glamor system STILL does not cover the Sophist's set and the #55 set, which seems like a really weird oversight, since both sets are purely glam, and should probably be fixed!)
ONE: THE ARMOIRE
As-is, the Armoire is good, but weirdly limited in matters outside of stashing event and store items. Thus, I posit an expansion of its features, letting it be the place where ALL job-specific and relic stuff is placed. A quick-and-easy one-stop shop for all this stuff, be they replica or original.
TWO: PALADIN WEAPONS
As a PLD main, weapons and shields taking up separate slots annoys the bejeezus out of me. So, I would suggest usingthe Outfit Glamor system to, essentially, collapse all PLD weapons into a single slot(especially since we GET PLD weapons as a single item nowadays). This does mean that some of them(namely stuff from the early ARR days, which either has no matching weapon or no matching shield) may need to be slightly reworked, but I'd be all for that(especially the Ifrit, Titan, Garuda and Moggle Mog stuff).
THREE: OUTFIT GLAMOR EXPANSION
This neatly segues me into the other point: the Outfit Glamor system is fantastic for this sort of thing, but its use is...weirdly limited, but I also understand why the system doesn't cover gear with stats to it. Thus, I posit the following compromise: put an NPC in each Company hangout(which I'd be happy to come up with, should anyone want me to) that takes gearsets and, for a sum of Company Seals, exchanges them for statless, purely glam versions of themselves, and can also exchange thusly-glammed pieces back to statted pieces for the same sum.
