Key Items... (Do you need it?)

[Rydin]

It's not a bad idea...it's not like we don't need stuff to do that doesn't require getting slapped in the face by a red dog that moos or moogles with attitude.

Exactly... I just think there could be more variety to the sidequests than:
See the NPC with exclamation point... kill X, return

A sidequest that didn't appear unless you had some item in your inventory would be cool

Not just key items...
Now that I think about it... What about Sidequests being available to start only while wearing a certain item.....
You talk to an NPC while wearing Thormoens Subligar and instead of normal NPC text.. he says
"Hey... I've been looking for a fashionable adventurer such as yourself to do a job for me"

Might add some depth to an otherwise "meh" sidequest system

Reinheart... tell me you wouldn't like that?
