New Equipment sets - bugged (repost)

So the 4 new sets:
Sentinel - Tank
Mercenary - DD
Sorcerer's - Mage
and Sipahi - ????

The Mercenary's Leggings are unique/untradeable/unmeldable/undesirable
The Sentinel Sabatons aren't even unique

Pretty much any gear that can't have materia attached to it is at a severe disadvantage

My question is this?

Is it a bug?

Are these sets meant to be all unique/untradeable/unmeldable?
All tradeable and meldable?
Did SE intend to make it vary from piece to piece?
Why is the entire Sipahi/Mercenary/Sorcerer Set unmeldable/untradeable?
Why only the Sentinel Trousers?

I can't imagine the Sentinel's Sabatons being tradeable and meldable and the Sentinel's Trousers being untradeable and unmeldable

If you did do this on purpose SE, Then no one wants any of the untradeable/unmeldable pieces

All I really want to know is this:
Are these pieces functioning as intended or do I need to submit a bug report?

You're probably thinking what I was thinking: Maybe the untradeable/unmeldable gear just isn't in game yet. Maybe at 1.19a when they open the other stronghold they will change this.

But.... The Mercenary's Leggings are indeed in game... I have seen them...
Also the Sipahi Turban (Which would OWN if you could put materia on it)

So... what gives?

Smells like a bug that needs fixing to me
