Glamour Spotlight: Striking DPS #33

Site patron @curious_usagi wanted a glamour for “casual Fridays” this month, leading to this one. If you’d like to make requests of your own, you can support Fashion Ninjutsu on Patreon. When I first got this request, I strongly suspected I’d be looking to some of FFXIV‘s more modern gear pieces—things like the Whisperfine Woolen Boots […]

Patrons Only Spotlight #17: Striking DPS

My Samurai’s been overdue for a new glamour for a little while now. As with many other jobs, I’d long defaulted to using Nezha Lady’s pieces for it, and with my Ninja glamour now finally moving away from it, I want to get the rest of my looks to do the same. I’ve not really […]

Glamour Spotlight: Disciple of War #1

Patron of the site David Haig (@DavidHaig1) had an interesting request, something of a challenge: a glamour that had a total item level no larger than 100, which got me to look at lower level gear in a new light. If you’d like to make requests of your own, you can support Fashion Ninjutsu on Patreon. […]

Patrons Only Spotlight #12: Striking DPS

So, I’m finally coming out of hibernation—a little bit, anyway! I’m largely taking a break from FFXIV, but I’ve had enough time away that I’m ready to start dipping my toes back in. I’ve mostly just been relaxing (and playing a lot of FFXI, which I may do a post on soon), but I’ve also been […]

Glamour Spotlight: Striking DPS #32 & Another Return Home

I’m still working my way through the main content additions from 4.3, and while there’s a lot I could talk about, especially regarding the Main Scenario, that will have to wait for now. In the meantime, for the MSQ and the Riordana Lighthouse chapter of Return to Ivalice, I decided to go on Ninja, even […]

Glamour Spotlight: Samurai #1

I’ve been saying I’m going to do something with the Anemos Myochin Haori for ages now and getting distracted by other glamour ideas for just as long. Full-body robes like the Haori are always less fun to glamour with, since they obscure so many of the other choices you can make for other slots, which […]

Glamour Spotlight: Striking DPS #31

With several of my recent glamours for Alahra all featuring plenty of Pure White, I’ve definitely hit that point where I’m going to have to get something white put together for everything. It’s often more difficult to do so for jobs I don’t play as often, since I have less familiarity with the sorts of things […]

Glamour Spotlight: Striking DPS #30

One reason I wanted to start taking requests from Patrons was to broaden my glamour horizons, since (and anyone who reads the site regularly will know this) I tend to focus on a familiar range of styles and types of gear. Glamour is naturally a very subjective activity: what looks good to one person may […]

Glamour Spotlight: Striking DPS #29

Since getting Monk to a decent gear level, I’ve been having so much fun on it that I haven’t even played Ninja at all, and it’s actually in the running to become my de facto main moving forward in Stormblood. Out of loyalty to Alahra’s canon, I’ll probably still be focusing on Ninja for Eureka, of […]

Glamour Spotlight: Striking DPS #28

With Monks finally getting a cooldown reduction on Perfect Balance, something I’ve been hoping they would get for years now, getting Monk to 70 is probably the highest thing on my priority list now. I’ve been going back and forth on whether or not I actually like Samurai for all of Stormblood, but I think all […]
