NM Gear should be redone.

[Grundy]

I couldn't agree more.
Honestly, I hope this materia is everything I'm hoping it is, and rectifies the situation regarding gear. I'm also hoping all gear/stat relationships will be redone (MIND on Mossy Scale Mail? what?).

As they are now, all these random STR, MND, etc buffs don't seem to do anything. It's kind of sad working on all this gear, only to find its the same as supposedly inferior pieces.

I hope Yoshi doesn't put the people who've been playing since Day 1 (or.... Day 7?) in the backseat in favor of people just starting (or in the middle of it) the game. There should be a good ratio of new/endgame content.

MND effects Mining, that's why there is a MND and Gathering bonus on Mossy - so that Miners can use it in areas where there is possible aggro from mobs.
