Required rank on all gear

[Reinheart]

mmm JP Reps post today looks like it will be applied to crafted gears as well, will have some that has no restrictions but for battle or instance raid type situations will be more equipments with rank requirements rather than optimal rank...

But that completely disregards what Bayohne said >.> "Battle or instance raid type situations will be more equipments with rank requirements" to me sounds more like dungeon drop gear will have rank requirements.

皆さん、こんばんは。
Good Evening Everyone,

装備適正ランクについてあらためてプロデューサーの吉田と方針を確認してきました。
Checked once again with Producer Yoshida regarding goals for equipment's 'optimal rank'

今後追加される新しい装備品については、基本的に装備できる条件が、クラス【専用】ランク【必須】になっていきます。
ただし追加される装備品すべてが【専用】【必須】になるわけではなく、装備条件のない装備品ももちろん追加していきます。
In general for future included equipment will have 'class specific', 'required rank'.
However this doesn't mean all equipment becoming 'specific' or 'required', there will of course be equipment that has no restrictions.

たとえば街中で着る場合には誰でも装備できる装備品で、
バトルに行く、レイドに挑戦するなどの場合は【専用】【必須】の装備を付けるなど、
メリハリを付けるようにしていきます。
For example will make within cities have equipment anyone can equip, and for going to battle, or challenging in raids equipping 'specific', 'required' equipment. Will add variety.

It doesn't say anything about NM drops or such content equipment being with rank requirements (probably will have though, and I'm OK on this part since it makes sense) but also says when going into battle, or contents (like raid) they want more equipments that have rank requirements, and for general use to wear in cities and stuff they will still have optimal rank equipment.

To me that sounds like if you want to play dress up we'll have those but for going into battle you will have to put on rank required gear, which is fine but same time means I would have to carry more gear if I want to play high level job first then switch to low rank gear.

Oh well as long as they don't put rank/class requirements on subligar I'm ok... I guess (j/k)
