AF4

[Daemon]

This is just me being... old? I guess... But AF1, AF2, and AF3 are quests, so AF4 makes no since to me... Not that I don't fully understand what you are suggesting. But then again, Artifact, Relic, and Empyrean are not even on par with one another. Although all three do represent the job in there own way. But how would you even go about this? would you have to bring them all up to there full potential first? Because many people are already complaining that they have to spend more time in Dynamis to fully upgrade Relic as is. But don't get me wrong, Ive always liked the idea of full time gear and this looks like the best way to accomplish it, but I guess what I'm most worried about is what it will look like. I know a lot of players hate THF Artifact, but love the Empyrean, and even more so the look of Empyrean for PLD but awe over the awesomeness of PLD Relic.

Disclaimer: Not tiring to be a Troll, these just happen to be my thoughts on the matter.

Well it would make sense to obtain all AF pieces, fully upgrade them and then maybe have some Magian trial where you bring the AF pieces to have them infused into 1 new AF combing every existing stat of all pieces into 1. SE would have to give us a bigger, better design for an AF4.

If the design rocks, even just combining the pieces alone would be a big enough reason for people to be motivated in obtaining every piece and fully upgrade all of them.

This is how I see it. Those who did not complete AF3 would have to go back and make parties to get +2s. Those who need relic exp trials would most likely team up with people in Dyna. And even a reason to go back and do limbus. Which would mean older content would be made relevant again.

Look at how big this would be? We know inventory is a major issue for all of us at level 99 with multi jobs and have several gear sets. If SE gave us the opportunity to free up space, combine all pieces into 1 new AF set. No more carrying several pieces of gear, less macros means less gear swaps, and less time going through moogle slips to take out all other sets.

You would only have to take out 1 set or even just carry it with you at all times if its a job you always play.

That would be a big win for everyone. Who wouldn't want that? And maybe if SE gave additional stats to be on par with SoA, even better.

Otherwise yeah carry multiple gear sets with several AF pieces taking up so much inventory... Spend several minutes going through each moogle slip to pull out AF every time you need it for the job you are going to play... Especially if you are playing several jobs.. How many macros do you use to switch between AF pieces? On my RDM I have one for AF2 body AF2 hat, AF2 Body AF3 Hat, AF3 body AF2 Hat etc...

We already know SE cannot raise inventory cap above 80 due to memory issues from PS2 limitations. So there's no hope for that unless they drop PS2 and recode the entire game to a higher platform. Atleast I was giving a good solution.

REM is totally different in this situation. We are only talking about 3 weapons vs more than 15 pieces of gear depending on jobs that have ammo, waist, back, accessories.

Oh and Dyna exp trial is easy. Can duo with another DD using emperor band and subbing corsair for Cosair roll for additional EXP bonus taking on decent challenge mobs. Can earn 20k exp in no time.
