Class-specific equipment

any new info regarding class-specific equipment (AF)?

Thought it was already here... @_@;;
Unless your talking about weapon.

Maybe we will finally get this silly hat, something else to accidentally sell to the NPC

Screw that I want the robe and shoes o.o

Probably that is not class specific at all... just one of the umpteen billion equipment models we don't have access to. There's a frustratingly large number of armor we can't use, every time I walk by a generic NPC wearing something much better looking than anything I can make it grinds my gears. Not to mention the amount of models that were entirely done away with when they made the transition to dated gear for materia's sake... All my awesome doublets! /strangles the itemization team.

...Anyway, the OP is referring to class gear not job gear. I.E. GLA & CON specific gear, which was supposedly in the pipes. Not sure if crafting classes were included? I can hope though.

they said they will introduce class-specific gear in the future which is basically AF gear for classes only

@Ramsey I remember back in the day before FFXIV fell from the sky into our laps. I used to think I'd have full artistic considerations to what I crafted.
Pink and white stripes!? Sure! Yellow polka dots, hell, why not!

I think many are waiting in the wings, next patch will see extra high level recipes, I can only hope that silk robe will be party of that, the robe above looks like silk to me >.>

I want darksteel armor... But I know it won't come until there's a cap raise. Which I suppose I'm fine with. The thing that irritates me the most is the complete removal of models that already exist in the game, like entire classes of item, almost all doublets, thighboots, culottes, etc. Where did they go? Why? /slap

I'd prefer they add CSE for crafters and gatherers than the battle classes at this point, unless it's like level 30 gear. Classes have very limited uses apart from soloing at max level.

I"m hoping they are able to do this with 2.0 based on their objective it seems like they would like to make armor more customizable so we can only hope that upon the new build we'll have such an option. Or at least more color variation.

I do hope we hear something about the new recipes soon, it might go along with the changes to crafting abilities since they may remove the abilities that are designated as "parts" and replace them with something else. Maybe we'll hear something by the end of the week unless they are forced to push it back.

And there's also no low level gear anymore. One more reason why materia kind of ruined the game a bit.

People still use their base classes in some situations, like Ifrit. More importantly, they're frequently a better choice when doing things in small groups, obviously they're not usually for raid content, which is by intent.

I agree though, if we had to have one or the other, gatherers and crafters deserve something unique. I'd rather all classes get unique gear though.
