I agree that we probably do not need that for 2-handers in this game, but in FFXI it was quite another matter since duel-wielding 1 handers was OP for awhile compared to the 2-handed weapons. Different game different problems.
Hmm... well if it's something that wraps on the weapon, it's hardly an off-hand item is it... :P

Call me pedantic...and I will return the compliment.

Definitely agree on your second point. If the 2H weapons were not more powerful than the 1H weapons I would agree that some change would be needed, but since 1H weapons are clearly weaker, it's not a problem.

One thing I'll mention again though is materia. I really wish that they would introduce a kind of materia that has a slight impact on the main stats of a weapon. Nothing game breaking, only a point or two at the very, very most, and since they mentioned tier 5 materia in the live letter, I'd suggest that tier 5 materia would be the only tier capable of affecting a weapon to that extent. Probably won't happen, but it would be nice, and give another avenue to customize weapons.
