What is the correct way of labeling artifact armor?

[Yamimarik]

Not sure there is an official by Yoshi or the Devs what the current gear we have is called honestly. I'm pretty sure somewhere in one of the AF quests it's called Artifact armor or something.

Any who... I go by this little formula and I know most FFXI people do too.

Artifact Armor(Quested lvl's45/50)=AF1
Relic Armor(Acquired by Myth. Tomes.)=AF2/Relic
Mysterious "AF2" Armor shown by Yoshida(The below image)=AF3


Is it following your or the Devs/Yoshi's logic? Probably not, honestly just call it what you want. As long as others understand what you're talking about, what does it honestly matter?

^I agree with Yamimarik

When I first saw the new sets of classic JSE in Revenant's Toll, I immediately started calling them "Relic," because the 2nd set of classic JSE in XI was referred to "Relic" as well. Additionally, it was commonly referred to in XI as AF2 as well. So when someone in my linkshell immediately began to deny that this new i90 gear to be deserving of the title "Relic" (It's not purple-background like the weapon, blah blah whine whine), I settled on AF2.

Now, once it has been announced on concept sketches that our upcoming JSE is labelled "AF2," am I seeing this being blown up into a "thing." Quite frankly, I'm surprised the dev team was either oblivious to the titles players have given to the i90 set in absence of an official name, or knowingly decided to name their new set "AF2" despite it being the frequent name of our i90 set.

Because the JP have been calling myth gear AF +1 this whole time.

(Or sometimes call it shinwa=mytho.)
