It took more than a decade, but Final Fantasy 14 is finally lifting the glamour restrictions that have kept the MMO's fashion devotees from living their best life. As of patch 7.4 later this month, "you'll be able to equip any glamours regardless of your class/job," and while that's been cause for celebration among players, director and producer Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida was against the idea – until the rise of mobile RPGs forced him to reconsider his gamer principles. Final Fantasy 14 is still a premium game – despite the generosity of the free trial that all the memes will tell you about – but like a free-to-play title, it does sell optional cosmetic items. Yoshi-P says that if he were the producer of an F2P game, he "would be thinking of how to get everyone to want to buy items, and of course I wouldn't want to put restrictions on how your equipment will look." Square Enix finally says the words Final Fantasy 14's MMO fashion devotees have waited years to hear: "From Patch 7.4 onward, you'll be able to equip any glamours regardless of your class/job!" Everyone's "free time is dwindling," so Final Fantasy 14's Yoshi-P wants players to feel rewarded no matter how much time they invest in the MMO "I am an employee at Square Enix, and I receive money to make games": Final Fantasy 14 boss Yoshi-P says he won't be "bored" with the MMO until he runs out of "things that require to be taken care of" Online mobile RPGs are rising as the traditional MMO market declines, and "if you grew up playing these other types of games, then started playing FF14, you would think 'Why are there restrictions on how my gear looks?'" Yoshi-P muses. "I think there are people out there who feel that way." Yoshi-P hints that he personally believes that gear should still be restricted to the classes and jobs it was meant for, but he no longer wants to impose that principle on FF14 players. "'When I am a gamer I can make my own rules, but it's not the time to push those ideas onto players,' I thought." He adds, "I came to the conclusion that it didn't make sense for me to hold back the ability to roleplay from the people who say 'I want to be more fashionable.'" Either way, Yoshi-P held to his beliefs for so long that even the dev team at Square Enix seems to have been shocked by his change of heart. "When I told the team they responded like 'Is that really okay?'" he explains. "I wonder if they thought 'Yoshida's refusal to change the look of equipment is final.'" Final Fantasy 14's Yoshi-P says it's "time to go back to school" as the MMO builds to its next expansion and turns away from the "summer vacation" that was its mixed Dawntrail expansion.
