Really starting to get discouraged from playing.

This was posted on reddit a while back but a lot of gear got downgraded/dummed down when we went from 1.0->2.0

Most gear like the AF set in particular had special bonus effects on them which made them unique compared to other equipment.

For Example, if you were wearing the Paladin AF and used the move Cover, you would get a MP Regen effect.



Some gear like the Imperial set even gave negative stats in some areas but bonus in others. It has -50 HP. However it gives a bonus of +50 MP and +1 Refresh... and a +20 Resistance to Paralysis




And this is just the Body Slot, the other slots added to the bonuses or gave other bonuses,



Materia was also different. They were much more advanced than we have now and allowed us to customize our gear(If they had Materia Slots) to fit our needs and playstyle more than relying on BiS
