(AF1 - AF1.5 - AF2) (Relic - Relic +1)

[Kikosho]

There is no official anything stating what gear is what in all honesty.

Calling Artifact gear "AF1" is technically incorrect if you want to play the semantic game with me. Because it's just AF=Artifact.

There is no official name for the 2nd set of AF looking gear. Most from FFXI call it Relic(AF2)
In FFXI Relic armor came from Dynamis, where you obtained your relic weapon too. But it was the second set of "Artifact" type gear, so it was shortened from Relic=AF2.

So in my own head I see it as this:

Artifact gear=AF1(short version)
Relic=AF2
New gear coming=AF3

That's just how I'm going to see it, since in XI (my main MMO I came from) Empy gear was AF3 and was the 3rd JSE specific gear set to come out for all the jobs.

True, there is no official name for the second set of job gear currently ingame. But the recently shown set is officially noted as AF2.

I just call the myth job gear as.. myth gear. Can't get confused that way.

glad someone posted the photos that say AF2. I'll keep calling the myth gear AF+1 since there is no mention ingame of where it really falls. All I know is that its better than AF but not better than AF2.

None of the myth gear has +1 in the name. Why would you call it AF+1?

Because that's what everyone calls it. (At least on the servers I play)
AF+1 or AF Mythology Gear.

It's not about "Is this the right or wrong thing to call it, in terms of official terminology", it's just what people call it.
What Doctor Mog is trying to argue is that everyone is wrong and that they should change the name of it when it's far too late to even suggest such a notion.

Looks like DoctorMog was asking an honest question and not calling anyone wrong/an idiot/whatever.

It felt different in Reinhearts chat yesterday. :S

AF1 vs AF+1 vs AF2 vs Mythic vs Relic vs AF3.

What to call the mythology AF set?

It is way to early for AF2 (relic). This would be more on the lines of AFv1, in fact instead of useing tomes to get the afv1 they should have used something from 11 to provide better endgame content, than running a dungeon for tome's. The current system while it may seem good isnt that great, but instead could have provided better endgame content for FC groups (more than 4-8 man instances) to run and farm to help with the lack of any real endgame.

I'm curious what's going to happen when they raise the lv cap. we're going to have lv100+ gear, going into lv60/70/75.

The problem is that you need to consider the fact that they didn't have the time.
They had to rebuild a game from the initial experience to the end-game content all in under two years.

They just simply didn't have the time to do it.

Jeez, this childish pedantry, this is coming across as a "I dont like this, so everyone else should conform to my autistic view on things". "NO, I'M WRIGHT GUYZ"

...

I'm autistic, and I found your first statement offensive...

They do have time the issue is they didnt wanna take the time they wanted to just rush the product out asap with very little to offer and thats exactly what they did. They took the fastest easiest route they could take and it shows that they took too many short cuts.
