That's just the thing, this game is balanced, sometimes too balanced. They can't put anything really cool as a passive effect on dungeon drops otherwise as a previous poster said, the gear becomes mandatory. Then you see everyone wearing exactly the same thing.

I'd rather "anything cool" as a passive effect be something that can be melded to gear rather than change the nature of the dungeon drops. That's kinda how FF7 did it anyway. I'd kinda prefer that some of the "Materia provides a cool effect/rare skill" be something, not just stat buffs.

But that would again mess with the balance in a way where someone melds w-cast + ultima to one BiS gear and just wipes the floor in FCoB or something.
