But that's not how SE see's it. This is a JP game, and if you've played any of the East Asian (Japanese / Korean) RPG's they tend to create a set of items that take ridiculously amounts of time to get and are incredibly impractical. That is exactly what Stage II Lv 99 weapons are. They are the Infinity +1 Sword. The Stage I lv 99 could be seen as the Infinity -1 Sword, not statistically the absolute best, but near enough to be more useful then the Stage IIs.
Or better yet, view the LV 99 Stage II's as Bragging Rights Reward
I'm just happy their going to make the stage 1's somewhat obtainable by everyone else.
