Suggestions for relevant crafting without making top gear buyable

[MPNZ]

I already posted this in another thread a few days ago, but it seems valid to repost it here.

"Even with the decision they've made, there are are still other ways to make crafting relevant. Like making bags that would increase your inventory space per box (6x6 would become 7x7 with HQ, and maybe give the bags special or regular materia slots too), and a magitech speeder mount that would require parts to build and new parts to replace with the benefit of not drawing aggro from enemies while on the map. And to limit the number of players able to craft these items by having players having to select a main-crafting job, which could drive up prices on those items. We could even have design plans that could make your favorite piece of gear have the same stats as the best of it's class by taking it to get upgraded at a secret shop of sorts run by talking skeletons in snazzy suits, succubi, ahriman, and other void sent. That way you can still use your favorite pieces of armor. You would need to live through the journey to get there though."

In addition the special materia would be created through a mass fusion of high level spirit bounded equipment. They also need to double gil earnings through quests, and give out a stimulus package that would be double or more of what the estimated gil owned by RMT sellers, or just make an achievement that would award players 250k gil for beating the game's regular story mode with other achievements that award players 75k gil each time they get one of their combat classes to lv50. That should help getting people to start being a little more frivolous with their money.

EDIT 2: Besides new materia slots, we could also make things like bags have slots for talismans made with the mass spirit bounded materia, which would come in several design like a rosegold chocobo. This would give goldsmiths work as well. Especially, if the bags are rendered onto the characters, but that may be asking for too much.
