How have you got more than 25 pieces of armour in a given slot (eg 25 body pieces)? If you had a different piece of armour for every single job and every class, that would be 27 (unless SCH, then 29). There are going to be a comparatively tiny few who will be able to make use of that, let alone need to do that - this is just so you can change on the fly.

If you're a player that is going to have all the DoL and DoH AF (11), plus have over 14 different pieces of each armour to spec for you DoM/DoW classes, then kudos to you I guess, but even those players wouldn't need to be able to Gear-Swap between all of that on a whim!

You can still carry gear in your inventory and store it on your retainer (and for 99999999 at the MW *cough*), so it's not prohibitive as to how much you can carry.
But then, how do we select the class/job we want to use? We just repeatedly have to select each piece of gear one bit at a time every single time? There must be something else that they haven't revealed yet, because the only way it would work without Gear Sets is... I don't even know.

Guess we'll just have to wait it out. Hopefully they'll make a video tutorial for it, like they plan on doing with materia.
