Everyone's responses have been really interesting.

The only thing holding me back is the double meld and I aint that happy about the 25k gc seals either. I'm one of the few it seems who has never broke at most 5m gil and have no real interest in spending gillions on this double meld weapon (between the weapons themselves and all that materia I can only imagine how much it costs, esp with the price gouging). If they had a better system for getting gc seals it wouldnt be so bad (think conquest points in xi, that would be nice) but having to spam toto-rak on top of all the hamlets and what not....
