Crystal Tower 2.1 Crystal Armor? and Difficulty DEVs please.

[Arkista]

So with the coming of Crystal Tower in 2.1 I was wondering if we are going to get crystal armor? Crystal Armor is part of Final Fantasy and having it would be nice addition to gear as long as it is on par with Allagan or better. Also since Crystal Tower was suppose to be ready at launch and easier than Coils does that mean the difficulty will be raised? I don't see the point in adding new content that will be easier than Coils and then giving us ilvl60-85 gear if any gear at all. So please don't add CT and have it easy mode, add Crystal Armor ilvl90-ilvl95 or some new gear and again PLEASE MAKE IT HARD. If you make CT easy people will be mad you have over a month to make it possible don't let us down.

not on par. It's made to be midway between DL and Allagan, alas iLvl 80.
@arkista: not gonna happen. They delayed because it was too difficult, what's the point in making it lower then raise it again? And nerf allagan ? It's totally unreasonable

We have well over a month until 2.1, What's the point in giving us new content with new gear if allagan beats it? People are already nearing turn 5 on coils with what we have in the game already. I just think that it would be a mistake for them to say k guys here's you this CT its easy and drops some ilvl80ish gear now go back to burning coils for the next 6 months while we work on 2.2, Right now we have no end game content except for Coils ya its hard but once people get better gear/ learn the mechanics it wont be so bad. So when we're all done with coils what are we going to do until 2.2 do the Wolves den and be like LoL? I'm sorry but PvP to me isn't End Game, ya will be fun to punch ppl in the face but not what I want to do for 6 months or how ever long it will take to get us some real End Game. And didn't SE say that once new content comes out they will lower the difficulty for what we have now? Maybe everything but Coils then? Pharos Sirius looks pretty cool if they give us a reason to spam it. Extreme Primal fights sound fun and challenging but if relic+1s/Allagan weapons are the best I don't see why many people would want to spam them if they don't drop any weapons or gear, I can just imagine Titan EX. Two new hard mode dungeons also sound nice cause ak gets old fast. So there will be stuff to do but will it keep us busy until the next Exp and will it be worth doing things for side upgrades.
Oh I hope this game doesn't turn out to be like FFXI where gear from 8 years ago is still useful at max level (Rajas Ring). Even if some new gear is better in some areas it would be nice.

At the mini Live Letter from TGS, Yoshi said expect gear with names similar to the actual gear from FFIII. I believe this was titled Fuma set:

Now that would be pretty cool, but like I said why add new gear that is a downgrade from what we already have relic gear and allagan are just about the same in stats so depending on when in Nov 2.1 is then most people will have a few good pieces of relic gear depending on what you get.

lol isn't CT gear suppose to be worse than mytho gear and on par with DL?

Some said ilvl80, but like anyone really knows.

not on par. It's made to be midway between DL and Allagan, alas iLvl 80.

They could keep that "too difficult" version as a hard mode for it that dropps better gear/materials.
