Gear progression too linear

[Shiyo]

How many FFXI pieces of gear had those unique stats at game release?

Wasn't aware we should be making a 2003 game a decade later. This isn't 2003 anymore, games aren't made with the same philosophy and they certainly should not be made like a game from a decade ago, especially by a company that knows how to make fun and interesting gear. Also, 1.24 had interesting and fun stats, they REMOVED that in 2.0.

Sick of "OH YEAH? FFXI 1.0 WAS BAD TOO!" arguments, they mean NOTHING, that was literally a DECADE AGO.
