One thing I loved about FFXI's content was that there was gear that would specificly enhance certain abilities. Things that gave Cure Potency +10%, Enhances Fast Cast, or Increases Weapon Skill Damage. It allowed there to be a wide variation of endgame gear for people to collect, rather than the standard new pieces just have higher stats and are overall better than anything already in the game. Will we see endgame gear in FFXIV follow the path that FFXI had with more variation, or will it tend to follow the more traditional path of new gear is just more powerful than the previous endgame gear?
