Glamour & Other Miscellany in the World of Final Fantasy XIV
Today marks the soft ending of the Heavensward era for FFXIV. While the next expansion doesn’t officially launch until next Tuesday, on the 20th, maintenance tomorrow will usher in Patch 4.0 in preparation for the beginning of the Early Access weekend, so for the portion of the population who pre-ordered Stormblood, 3.x is at its end. And as is natural, […]

Even with all the hype from the latest Live Letter, since things have slowed down a lot on the glamour front with the end of the expansion, I honestly really miss working on glamours. I’m sure I’ll get my fill on that once Stormblood is here (especially since I kind of obsessively collected dungeon gear […]

Every time I swapped to tank with my last glamour, I sighed a bit, in discontent. The Snow White color really didn’t sit well with me, despite it matching up with the otherwise nice Yafaemi Chain Hose. On top of that, the more I looked at it, the whole thing just looked cobbled together. I never […]

As we approach the end of Heavensward, I’m hitting a point where the glamour game is slowing down too. New gear is coming in at a slower pace (though I suppose we could get some surprises in either 3.55b or 3.56), and which is giving me time to sort of “finalize” my looks. Ninja, for […]

I mentioned a couple days ago on Twitter that tank glamour problems are keeping me from really digging into the Anima light grind for my Paladin, and the situation hasn’t really changed much. I was never completely sold on my last tank glamour. All of the colors and the like lined up very well, but […]

I mentioned in the post on my last healer glamour that I had gone back to an older one for Scholar at first, and since we’re in the end-of-the-patch lull where there’s not for me to do glamour-wise until we have some new gear, I might as well show that one off. As I said then, […]

I can’t honestly remember what prompted me to level Black Mage past 50. It’s never been a great fit for Alahra in a canonical, role-playing sense, but I suppose in the end I like leveling too much to really leave things be. I remember starting off from 50 with the Augmented Ironworks Doublet of Casting […]

Back in the dark days before we were blessed from on high with dyeable Allagan replicas, we had to deal with at times frustrating color choices on the original Allagan gear (the High Allagan gear, in general, was much better). When it comes to the Physical DPS Allagan sets in particular, there are some oddities […]

For reasons unknown to me, it’s essentially been Nostalgia November here on the blog. Every glamour I’ve put together since the start of the month has, in some way, been a return to an old favorite, from my first “real” Ninja glamour for Heavensward to revisiting the Kirimu Coat, an eternal love of mine. The last […]

We’re approaching Patch 3.4 at full speed now—there’s just a week remaining! And as usual when we approach new Main Scenario Quests, I’m having misgivings about my current Ninja glamour (which is the one from the Fashion Ninjutsu’s inaugural post). I’ve talked before about why, so I won’t go into that again here. I do have […]
