Honestly, I feel like we're giving SE too much credit. I seriously doubt they would release a lot of new/better end game gear every 3 months. :P Maybe a couple new pieces every 2-3 months, but nothing like a complete new gear set (aka WoW).

I just don't want what happened in FFXI to happen in FFXIV. We should NOT be trying to get the same gear for like 4-5 years, lol. XD
