From the looks of it; just like transmogrificaton with the need to use a crystal to do it instead of solely gil.
I personally do not mind it whatsoever as they chose to go that route to keep class confusion down. I would have preferred a RIFT way in terms of mix-match whatever armor set you want, but I can live with these choices.
As for TERA; from that, it was all spend -real money- to do such a thing, well more so now than ever as it's now free to play.
WoW's transmog is solid and keeps to limitations of the class.
RIFT's vanity set is solid as well and offers more variety in choice; it also focuses on the fluidity of the soul system (makes sense).
So, FFXIV is copying WoW in this regard, it isn't what all RPers want, but it may can change in the future. As for weapons changing types? If it wasn't a cosmetic skin, it wouldn't work due to the animations that are typed to jobs for weapon types. Imagine healing with a sword as if it was a two-hand staff? You'd reach up and grab the blade due to how the animation rigs the skeleton of the weapon.
So, in favor of the glamour system? I am; it isn't what I wanted (I wanted more of a RIFT way), but being with the transmog system from WoW? I'm fine with that too.
