AF gear already "obsolte"

[Colino]

That's another story though because it's actually extremely time consuming to get that set.)

But at the same time we were told AFs would be comparable or better than double melded current gear:

It won’t be possible to attach materia to job-specific gear. Job-specific gear will feature stats that are better than gear that is craftable that have more than one materia attached.

Which it's not, like Molly said.
