This game could eventually use a set of weapons or gear sets that take months to acquire and last you a long time, but of course this cannot be the only option. As far as end game goes. I like doing the moderate end game stuff on top of the long and challenging end game stuff.

Some people are comfortable with just doing the moderate end game stuff that still allows their class/job to be pretty proficient in what they are playing as when geared with the rewards, but of course, they need something for the no lifers. There is always room for no lifers.
