It just occurred to me that with the introduction of the Dungeons in out up and coming June update we my (hopefully) see the introduction of new Job Specific Equipment or the XIV equivalent of Artefact Armour (which we've already had a teaser of).
I absolutely loved the day I got my Gaudy Harness for my BST, it's one of my great FFXI memories - as is my linkshell banding together for the orc fight in Davoi for my WAR AA (we were all new players around level 40).
It even got me thinking running around Vana'diel trying to find the spawned NMs to get my RSE (although as there are no stat variations between races in XIV there may well be no RSE).
All of these are good memories, frustrating at times but overall very satisfying. These were some of the positives in FFXI that I hope can be transferred to FFXIV, possibly with the next patch - what do you think?
