Does this game truly need minmaxing?

You can dress however you like. Full AF2, full allagan, mix it up. They're both a good step up from DL and both viable for coil.

However, from a practical point of view, getting AF2 pieces take a long time and allagan pieces might take a long time depending on your luck. This should go without explanation but allagan drops are random, mythos are not. You can plan ahead and, say, get your AF2 for your turn 5 drops's slots because you know you won't be clearing it soon or get AF2 pieces for slots that don't have allagan yet. This is why anyone who does endgame with half a brain mix them up.

Gonna use ONLY crafted gear (and relic weapon). Because. At least I made the damn thing. It'll have my crafter's name on it. And some sense of accomplishment. And materia, not 'nothing'. Also looks better.

Will spend 8100 myth on the 9 relic+1 first. Then will keep the myth for Summoner solely for the purpose of topping VIT on left side and getting a 10,000 Titan-egi. Oh and for mannequins in my future home. Not to actually use in normal combat.
