How would you feel about end-game gear only being useful for 3 months?

[Teknoman]

It's a scary experience. The second your SP bar stops going up you end up staring at the screen for a bit thinking "ok.... now what do i do?"

That;s the point when you need to be in a good linkshell, veteran players are very good at explaining an easy and fast way to move from the grind to the end-game.


Also, Teknoman has a sig of Butz (b'.')b

Yup, in honor of what we'll be riding and defending...hopefully before the month is over And of course encouraging the "Final Fantasy feel". On end game situations, i'd like things similar to XI, where there might always be a new story scenario to tackle, and multiple challenges to take on.

EDIT: Just remembered we'll probably be converting alot of our gear to materia anyway, or trying to find ways to add more slots to the items, so you might want to hold onto items with more slots...or with better base stats. That should add alot in the way of user choice and keeping certain items viable. That and 3 months really isnt that short of a time either. You'll probably be ok with whatever equipment you decided to go for, since i'm sure new equipment introduced just 3 months afterwards wont be THAT much better, unless you're one that wants to max out no matter what.
