Oh, I see what you mean. XIV Twitter can be a weird place. There are a lot of people who play it fast and loose with things like that alongside people who are really strict about spoilers.

Talking about Ultima Weapon, started progging UWU about 3 night a week, and we just got past Jails a couple of times yesterday. Although it has its fair amount of jank, it feels less janky than UCOB so far. UCOB will always have a special place in my heart but I'm so glad to be done with it.

Besides, Ninja already has a throw poo poo button, it just throws those lovely little ninja knives and I think the AOE version combos off another weaponskill/ability.

Glamourer makes it way easier to wear gear you don’t have in game yeah. It’s persistent and you can link certain looks to jobs. Anamnesis can also do it of course but it’s a separate program and also unloads all changes when you hit a loading screen.

Personally I only use Glamourer to wear a couple of modded items, one of which is modded over a PVP weapon I can’t be assed to grind Wolf Marks for on my alt and the other of which is modded over the Moogle Earring, which you can only get if you were Japanese and preordered ARR in like 2013.

I have no idea why the modder made that choice.

First time I've heard of Glamourer. Is it just a persistent version of anamnesis, basically? or is it like a modded glam system so you can just set whatever you want to that item set and it works like normal glams?

It's a less pretty anamnesis with the ability to make "fixed designs" which you can set class by class, or on all of them.

So say you wanted your dancer to use the lunar chakrams no matter what you had equipped, or you missed a preorder bonus earring you like the look of, you could make a fixed design.

I really love it tbh. I used it to go through the stormblood Hildebrand with npc Doma gear and it really fit!

oh that's great, I will look into that. One nice thing about anamnesis was changing your race and I like using it to test potential fantasias (i should really stop buying those) but I don't use them THAT much and doing it for gear is much better.

If you have any questions let me know, Glamourer isn't as user friendly as Anamnesis either lol The discord has a good faq spot however!

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I'm pretty sure if you try to do a MGS nemesis team in FF you just get Gaius/Nero/Livia/Rhitatyn, particularly with the glow-up in mechanics they got in the updates. Unless that's the joke.

(Been a while since I've run Prae to see the new Nero/Gaius, but I love that Livia and Rhitatyn are now used as a way to introduce modern mechanics and markers but do so by going all-out a step beyond anything the player's seen in ARR. Livia covering the field in markers so you need to be thinking of where to move in the middle of it, Rhitatyn making you dodge Exaflares, fun stuff.)

You can do this with Glamourer too, a button click to change your race. Or sex.
There's also Palette+ that let you change your colors in ways the aesthetician can only dream of, in that you can directly set RGB colors.

One thing tho (and this goes for using Anamnesis as well), never ever apply anything at the aesthetician while you have a fixed design enabled. There's not so much error checking there and the game can and will save invalid combinations, or colors you couldn't pick from the actual UI, and other people can see it.

yeah i got banned for that a few years ago, i used CE to hex edit my hair color at the aesthetician and got owned for it but they did patch it so that's good. i wish id known about mods it would have made my life a lot easier instead of going the insane route for it

People would do this on Xbox Live and get banned for it, I remember. After they added those little 360 avatar guys they’d mod their profile data to give them neon green skin or whatever and be amazed that XBL hit them with a console ban.

The main thing that Anamnesis can do that Glamourer can’t is Gpose tools. Glamourer just lets you change appearance, Anamnesis gives you custom control over posing and time of day etc.

all things considered i got off extremely lucky and i was being a dick and showing it off constantly, i thnk it was only like a 1-2 week ban and they made me change it out. could have been much worse

but i did get this image out of it which makes me laugh every time, i think i tried to give myself a haircut that didn't exist

Probably no improvement in day to day gameplay, I think it's strictly a move to avoid repeating the situation of login queues crashing during endwalker
