Honestly, I don’t think that’s a point against it. SE reuses animations all the time and seeing as it was gonna be 2+ years out before we see Geomancer it’s understandable they’d reuse the perfectly good (and technically defunct) CNJ animations they had. Especially when you consider they made a unique weapon with a distinct design for them too.
Not to mention; I’ve suspected for a long time that SE was gonna re-use wands for a new class since they’ve stopped using them for CNJ/WHM/THM/BLM past 50-something.
Other points for it: mentioning Geomancer at all in the questline. There really was no reason SE had to establish specifically geomancy was the cause for the seals. They could have been like “it’s japanese voodoo magic I ain’t gotta explain shit”.
And so far the trend with SE mentioning jobs by name in-game has lead to them being added in. Only with RDM/SAM but still.
oh and last minute thought that the new enemy geomancers in the swallow’s compass also use wand weapons. Not really proof but still interesting SE is establishing that wands are a thing used by geomancers in more then one place.
Honestly, the dresser part is completely unnecessary with how the system is. Just let me use items in my inventory/armoire directly and give me those 200 slots as more inventory space, or plate slots.
The amount of slots didn’t bother me as much as basically how the system was a solution to none of the issues I had with the glamour system as it is. It doesn’t solve the issue of needed/wanting to glamour multiple jobs of the same role/gear type without having to make use of a macro every time I switch jobs.
Not being able to use them outside of major cities/housing wards is just pure nonsense too. I made a naked plate so I can easily switch between that and my RDM AF glam and wait in my FC’s hotspring not realizing at the time I couldn’t glamour in a dungeon so I got to run hell’s lid in the nude :/ (Not that I was embarrassed about it mostly annoyed that this system is so fucking crappy)
Honestly, I’m not sure how SE fucked this up so hard because the community has been telling SE what they wanted now for a while and this just isn’t the solution to it at all.
