It is unclear if generic level 60 requiring gear will be superior to Artisan's crafted gear or not, and it's unclear just how hard Red and Blue Scrips are to acquire (crafting/gathering Tomestone-like tokens that you exchange for endgame crafting/gathering gear, similar to current Poetics gear for combat classes).

Following patterns, it's likely FC4s will exist and MCDs will not be used for future items, or will be obtainable from easily obtained equipment. I'm expecting MCD2s to exist, possibly renamed.
I can see this happening as well but what are your thoughts on Lucis items? Do you think they will have their place in 3.0 or perhaps even be needed for the new synth recipes or gathering nodes?

If they are then MCD's may still hold some value.
