Are there any plans to make gear more interesting?

Currently, I never feel very accomplished when earning new gear. Unless it is a new weapon, the difference is very small. If you are not a DPS class, the differences are even smaller.
There are no interesting stats. It is not very exciting to clear T13 for a robe that gives you a tiny bit more MND, and some substats that are slightly different than another piece.

As someone who thoroughly enjoyed FFXI's ability to swap gear mid-battle and the crazy amount of horizontal gear progression this brought, literally anything more than small vertical main/sub stat gains would be cool to see.
