We are focusing instead on making adjustments with the battle-related fixes to ensure that you can battle to your utmost ability without having to rely on changing gear multiple times mid-fight.
Awesome news! ^^ This was a point i really hated in FFXI and i was afraid we would end having this here too. Thumbs up to Matsui (can't even believe i'm saying this!)
