You're right on that account, and I actually do remember now that there are at least some examples of level 5ish gear that only have one main stat (though Aetherial gear itself doesn't show up until 15, if I remember correctly). So that difficulty may not be there as I thought.

I still suspect they'll go with a STR/VIT split for thematic reasons, but I was wrong about NIN being primary STR back in the day too, so I don't know that I'd bet on it given that I'd forgotten about the existence of other single-main stat gear.
