The added attributes, like bard AF giving +1min on a song was really good on certain fights dependant on mp so it gave me plenty to choose how to play my class.
    The special stats were only on the AF gears. Every else gear (also DL gear as the best gear in 1.23) had only normal stats. For weapons you used the one with the highest dps (that was garuda weapon), because the weapon dps determined the stat cap of you character.

    You're right on the special stats. But that was the direction they were taking. We have nothing like that in ARR.
    Also, multimelded gear could be stronger than DL.

    Yes, but only because the stat cap counted for the whole character, not for specific gears. So you could get melded gears with higher stats than DL gears. It was the same like increasing the ilevel of the gear. Vertical progression because everyone used the gear with the highest number for his class best stat.

    The only thing that was horizontal were the contents where you would get those gears (BiS distributed to different contents instead to only 1 content)

    Actually primal weapons had special effects on them also. moogle weapons could proc endrain or enaspir. Ifrit could proc enfire. Also there were weapons like Flametongue that had enfire. paralysing baghnakhs could proc paralyse. Poisoned daggers could proc poison etc.
