It seems with XIV they moved away from the gear-centric approach of XI (where you could macro in different gear for different situations). But do you think this approach could return with the release of materia?

You can change weapon/armor only in passive mode.

I for one am glad in-battle gear swapping isn't in this game and would like to stay it that way, but preparatory gear swapping for different situations is fine.

That is what I meant. I didn't mean swap in battle, as someone pointed out, its not possible. But a CON, could, for example, have a nuking set and a healing set, etc. Depending on role could equip that gear ahead. But I am sure you could go in passive mode and hit your macro if you needed to sway back to another role, say in between battles.

Yeah, I could totally see that happening - having different sets of gear for each role you fulfill or for different scenarios (e.g., Ogre fight vs. Batraal fight, etc.). I wouldn't mind that.

Yeah, it made some gear's appeal last a long time (you know, that one head gear that gave +"something" to some stat/ability that you used in one specific situation...), but seeing player character models flash in and out of existence like a strobe light was just... odd, heh.

Actually you can change everything except your weapon while in combat as long as youre in passive mode... You will get a gear change penalty for a min or 2 tho.

Someone ask Yoshida to remove the stupid 1 second delay from using abilities. For WS it's fine but it's ridiculous for other class abilities.

And also makes using abilities while running disgusting.

You can change weapon as long as its from the same discipline, say you can change your scepter to a brand if you are on THM
