Rise of the AF2

[saber_alter]

though i disagree with your comparison for bard...

dark knight is still looking awesome.

The thought right now is that the new AF2 is going to be ESOTERIC GEAR. Alexander savage is the same gear but with higher iLv and dyeable as the NM Alexander. And Alex Savage will have the weapons....wonder if there will also be Esoteric Weapons....please....please...please...

probably not...but someone in my FC believes there will be an upgrade we can aquire for the primal weapons.

Thanks a lot!

I don't like the idea of having your iconic set locked behind a weekly tome limit honestly. A recolored version the way AF1.5 was I can understand, or something that just looks cooler overall.

But having to wait 1 month + just to get your iconic set just kills it for me. I wouldn't know what else they could do with it though to make it not be irrelevant instantly. Other than maybe setting up in a similar way the relic weapons work, and have them upgradable as patches go by.

I thought all the AF2's looked really good...cannot wait for my Bard and Scholar Gear.

Alexander Savage is connected to a dyeble stronger version of the Alexander gear we have now. As with mytho gear AF+1 before I think we can expect AF2 to be ilv 190 Esoterics gear.

While I like the references to old FF, the Dragoon AF was already Kain Highwind inspired itself. The AF2 is just an overpowered version. I seriously hope though that the White Mage AF2 has a /visor option >.>

I'm still not feeling the summoner AF2 . It's just kinda of bleh to me. I like the book though

I still have no idea what the NIN gear actually looks like because they showed it on a Lalafell... at night... in the middle of a forest -_-
On a side not my poor SCH is gonna need an emergency glamor when it gets that gear. My SMN, MNK and PLD will love it tho

I like everything about bard, except for the hat. Not too keen on that style.

I'd rather it be tied to a farm, than a raid a fraction of the playerbase will experience for a good half year or more. I'm totally in favor of the latter, and having them upgradeable patch by patch.

Except that armor gets replaced a lot faster than weapons and the old AF was no exception. You'd have to make AF2 armor so stupidly powerful to justify the 2.0 styled relic grind for them.
