Zero chance. They'll probably call it something else. This isn't Final Fantasy XI, it's Final Fantasy XIV.
To speak generically, of course there will be new job specific gear sets at some point- every game has them. -

Maybe AF2 or Cursed Armor could be added. ^_^

perhaps eventually, when level caps are raised. But that'll be a long time in the future.

I wanna see primals drop AF armors, that makes you look a little like the primal!
I remember some old pics before FFXI came, of Bahamut and Leviathan Dragoon, but guess the idea was scrapped then. -

Relic armor should be upgraded from AF.
Each piece needs to have a long hard quest to make it happen. -

I suppose it depends on what type of relic armor you're asking for. Genji armor is something I would consider a relic or legendary and I do believe we will eventually see it.

Genji's armor? Edit: damn you Zezlar lol
Anyone?
They have relic weapons and shield (armor) so I dont see why we wont see a relic like armor set. Though I dont think they want to create a full gear set that is meant to grow with you (the relic pieces are going to get buffs as time goes on to stay powerful). -
02-13-2013, 02:58 AMdariosLol yeah like add a bunch of fire cracks on the floor with huge circles of fire and just to spice it up put the quest on a 1.0 server for the always healthy lag effect lol JKQuote:

Lol, that doesnt mean the names have to be the same - but I do agree that it also doesnt mean it cant be the same. -
02-13-2013, 03:33 AMElexiaExactly lol. We got Relic Weapons, a concept used in other FF games including XI, where you quest to get a powerful weapon even though XIV's relics were more in the design of XI's Mythic's Weapons. The only concept that would be different would be how it's obtained/story, since Relic Armor in XI was simply armor used by the Hydra Corps trapped in Dynamis.Quote:

02-13-2013, 04:27 AMRagentoThey probably wont call it Crystal Tower, Just like they said they were going to have a Golden Saucer like area, but that they probably wouldn't call it Golden Saucer. Both will probably still be referred to by players in game off there predecessors name, but its in game zone name will be different for lore purposes I'd Imagine.Quote:

Don't forget the Wandering Minstrel in 1.0 wore what could only be described as BRD AF2 (same design just different colour) - Yoshi-P's proxy gave us a sneak peak of what's to come in ARR perhaps? ;)

My prefered idea is to have AF2 (and perhaps maybe AF3) as quest items (if they do increase the level cap) as a reward for advancing a continuation of the job storylines and relic armor as sort of uber gear from a super dungeon which can be upgraded. For example, AF2 being reskins and relic being entirely new looking gear.
Maybe even have it go like AF2 at levels 71-75 and AF3 from 95-99, then have relics upgradeable from level 80+ from a mixture of crafting, questing (perhaps even visiting the job storyline quest givers) and high level FATE encounters. -

Honestly, I wish they didn't use the terms artifact armor and relic weapons in the first place.
-
02-13-2013, 09:43 AMElexiaThat's what they're called though. They're relics and artifacts. They're used properly, or I've completely misunderstood the concept and definition.Quote:

Sometimes they're tagged with "tier X" where x is the number of the set in terms of how many sets had been released before it e.g. the tier 3 WHM set.Quote:

Coming up with different names for each tier is cumbersome- In fact, in FFXI, most people just said AF / AF2 / AF3 even though these terms were ambiguous because the first second and third original AF quests were often refered to as the AF1, AF2, and AF3 quest. Very few people ever said "relic armor" and "empyrean armor." Thus many games used the generic "tier" terminology. -
02-13-2013, 10:03 AMZenakui remember yoshi-p saying that they may have a higher version of AF later on maybe high level.Quote:

02-13-2013, 10:30 AMElexiaAh, so that's why you dislike they used it, got it. Petty reason but eh, it's not like there's an actual definition to the words or anything. I mean, the artifact gear in XIV had zero significance to the job's lore or anything, you know..the culture and history, usually what an artifact is.Quote:

02-13-2013, 10:51 AMColinoI distinctly remember a dev post saying that at first it would not be possible, but that after some time they might allow it. I really can't be bothered to go find it now.Quote:

But if you tell someone, they're about to step in rose, it'd be a completely different outcome if by "rose", you mean 'dog fecal matter'. I think the artifact armor in ffxi was never meant to be standard issue. Same with relic, mythic, etc, etc. I mean, there are only so many ways you can say "powerful armor of a lost age." It kind of loses it's meaning after a while. Well, I personally don't mind a different term for the armors, just as long as we get a chance to improve on the gear we worked so hard for on our 1 job.Quote:

02-15-2013, 01:42 PMAlhanelemIt's not petty... I didn't care for it in XI either- but it was mostly the player's abuse of the terminology.Quote:

Then empyrean armor comes out and people start calling it AF3. By then nobody really talked about the AF much so the ambiguity thing wasnt a real problem but the annoyance of it all stuck with me.
