It was planned enough that they had pre order sales during 1.0 for the PS3.

The part that annoys me is that belts already worked for most old 1.0 gear, but they removed them which made most of that gear look awful. I wish they had made them work like necklaces, so they only showed for things they worked with, instead of never showing at all.
The thing about accessories is that if other gear covers the area it'd appear in then it just doesn't show. But then you generally don't wear accessories over clothing. A prime example is the Prototype Gordian archer arms. The only cover one hand so the ring on the other hand shows. Belts, though, are worn over clothing so to give them the same treatment as accessories will pretty much have them hidden for a good majority of body pieces given that they haven't made body pieces with belts in mind for... a long time now. So, really, we'd be back to square one on near everything save the 1.0-based armors.
