If I'm reading this correctly, the new crafted weapons and armor are all going to REQUIRE that you NOT be in the job associated with that class to use them.

Notice how the Pugilist's Arms, Avengers, say "Requires: PGL" while the Garuda's Talons right next to displays the more familiar syntax, "Requires: PGL MNK." Same goes for all of the Heavy Darksteel items, "Requires: GLA MRD."

Are people really going to want to give up all of the abilities of their jobs just for these new items? I can see in certain situations where people still use their classes rather than jobs benefiting from this (using THM for safety and flexibility, or tanking on GLA for example) but I think in the vast majority of cases the answer would be no. Anyone else concerned by this?
