Actually this system is better because you are guaranteed a reward and it's not solely reliant on rng.
You're guaranteed an award through rng as well. The only difference is that a game that is rng based (diablo, borderlands, phantasy star online) those games don't lock you out for a week. Instead they allow you to go through things as you want, Final Fantasy forces you to follow a pattern, complete this one question, obtain trade in item, receive gear, wait a week, rise and repeat. All I'm saying is that they could have implemented many ways for gear to be obtained yet they went with a method many people didn't like from the get go.
