I'd like to see ability set cosmetic glamours for individual jobs that give another take on the jobs ability sets.
These would change:
These wouldn't change:
An example of this would be a Ninja ability glamour that changes all your ninjutsu into shadow/curse based magic rather than elemental ninjutsu. In this specific instance Hyoton, a spell that normally causes bind could be changed into Jubaku(an ffxi throwback spell which the word means curse binding, so it fits perfect here) which would be a a deadly curse attack rather than ice, retaining its damage and effects. It gives the skills a totally different feel and would be a cool cosmetic.
Other examples could be a summoner skill glamour that gives them access to summons like Ramuh, Leviathan, and Shiva over Ifrit, Titan and Garuda, and skills that are themed around these primals, a Dark Knight ability glamour the changes the spells and abilities from darkness to flames, or a black mage glamour that changes your spells into futuristic-looking digital magic. There are infinite things you could do with this and people would love these as a way to further express themselves.
For the mannerisms, you could just have cosmetics that allow you to change the mannerism of your character.
Currently your race determines how your character acts, with Lalafells being whimsical comic relief, Miqo'te being silly and flirty, Roes being muscleheads, Elezen being refined, etc.
This would simply let you change how your character's emotes play in the instance that the emotes vary based on race so if you wanted to be a goofy elezen, a refined hrothgar, or a serious lalafell you could. This would also allow you to choose masculine or feminine style emotes as well.
