I think I have to agree with your assessment of the gear, though: The head and feet are nice, the rest is kinda lame. That said, I'm still really disappointed. This was a good chance to work in some things like Pet: Double Attack or Pet: Haste (or at least enough -perp to allow us to hit -14 without needing a magian staff) and not doing that just seems like a waste.
LoL sure, Mokeil.
Edyth has a thread that has what you need to know on the general gist of how to upgrade.
In summary: you get 20 of the new seals, trade them for an orb, go to a specific place to get the right numbered page from Rem's Memoirs (1-5), and then trade a stack of 10 of the right number and the base gear to an NPC in Jeuno.
If you have the +1, it's only 5pgs.
And depending on the difficulty of the BCNM, you will get a guarantee 1-4pgs per fight.
So doing it 10x on the hardest difficulty nets you 4AF sets from the base. (8 if they're all +1'd)

And considering what the original AF for smn looked like..........
Just think of the major transformation that the Relic and Empy sets will be when THEY get 109+ified. (dunno if their iLv will be 109 or if it'll be higher like how AF1 (50-60) - AF2 (71-75) - AF3 (80-89) used to be. Here's hoping Empy+3 is 119! as if... XD )
