Whenever most people hear it they hear "having more options and variety of gear." The only options you have for weapons for example is if you choose not to do the insane grind for a Nexus (even XI's ultimate weapon grind was superior because the content it was tied to offered more incentives/rewards for my maxed job..what does grinding fates and low level dungeons offer my level 50 job?) Even 1.x had it and the only "gear swapping" you could do is in passive mode, which affected not only your damage but also your healing if you chose to do so. Bards gear swapped for their songs (since the AF enhances songs.)
