I assume the way they are doing it is RF being the only gear to make the stop at 109 because our original AF was stuff at 75. AF gear was at 52~56 and got upgraded to 75, Relic was 71~75 and got put up to 90, Empyrean was 81~89, never changed. I assume the large level gap between AF and the others stat wise, gave them the cause for making 2 stages to it, also, the others both had a total of 3 stages, NQ, +1, and +2, where as AF had only 2, NQ and +1. All in all, I think AF becoming RF, and furthermore RF+1, will be exclusive to it, and the others will simply start at 119.
This is mostly speculation though, the only confirmed part of any of this really is the fact that RF will be level 119 next update through some sort of upgrade process. Which also means everyone should get theirs now because it will be the best gear for your job most likely in a few different ways, since all ilevel gear with higher levels ends up with higher HP/MP/STR/DEX/VIT/AGI/INT/MND/CHR/DEF/EVA/MDEF/MEVA, generally.
