There's a problem with these. People won't use them, especially if they require the same amount of effort as the class only items. When consumables are cheap, like most food, people have no issue with using them. However, if we're going to have these items be fairly powerful, they also need to be fairly rare. The rarer it is, the more expensive (either in time to get, or just plain gil cost) it will be. The more expensive it is, the less likely someone will actually USE it, even in a dire situation.

In short, it becomes Too Awesome to Use. Nobody's going to want to use a 100k consumable on every boss fight they do. So of course they'll save it until that one time they REALLY need it... of course, by the time such a realization is made, it's usually when the party is wiping and it'd be too late to use it anyway.
