Vanity isn't just for the rich!

I'm more concerned over what level of crafting skill it's going to require. 3-star is already prohibitively expensive to obtain, requiring literally the best possible melds imaginable to even attempt it and millions of gil in materia. Ignoring the fact that every single i55 crafting item requires 10 fieldcraft demimateria, which again either costs a lot of gil or relies on a lot of luck and random chance.

If they add a new 4-star rank or worse I may just have to hang up my needle and thread altogether.

Accomplishing goals is what brings satisfaction in this game.

I agree, but when it comes to crafting you need an investment of literally millions of gil to get a foothold in the market. Most newcomers don't have close to that amount of gil, and making it is a lot more difficult if you're not already at that level.

Judging by the mats, this is most likely a two star recipe.

Four star will be using the new mats: arachne, wootz, platinum, and kirimu

I hope so. It would keep it in the realms of realism for most crafters. Personally though, I'm more disappointed that higher tier crafting gear hasn't been announced as a 2-star crafting option. It would give crafters other means by which to reach the lofty heights required by the higher tiers without needing to get extremely lucky with expensive materia melds.
