Color effect the stats of robes now?

Felt Robe (Green)
MP+54 Magic Potency+8 Magic Evasion +8

Felt Robe (Red)
MP+54 Mind +6 Magic Evasion +8

Is someone tell me Green Wizards are superior to Red wizards. This is unacceptable Red and Green are practically brothers. Grey them out and they make the same grey.

But seriously why are the stats different? What if I want the magic potency on the red robe? How do I get it on there?

For some reason, they decided that color is no longer an aesthetic change, but one that actually alters the way you play. Trying to mach an aesthetic with a certain class or style of gameplay.

Some changes may be a little more extreme than necessary though.

I would like some clarification on this as well. I prefer to wear read gear because I like the color and it matches my character. Making certain colors of gear have different stats prevents players from choosing the color that they most prefer.

I don't see why a color change should alter the stats considering it was the same robe at one point. Cause even with materia I bet that green robe would still be better considering it has that +8 magic potency.

I don't see why a wearing a ring can improve my accuracy or make me more powerful.

It's a video game ^_^

Because magic can be absorbed by normal objects like rings. Depending of the original wearer positive or negative energy goes into the the object, and either could increase healing being the positive energy, or destructive power being the negative.

Well spotted.

I assumed they would be the same and just gave away the green robe I made.
I like red better anyway, but their thought process on the new coloring is a bit strange.

So I suppose most people will be wanting green felt robes now?

Example :-

Linen - red (+mnd)
Linen - Blue (+int)

Could it be that SE plan to have gear based on the job, ie whm and blm.

Looking at the felt gear red would be the white mages gear and green would be for black mage.

If this is true, you know it's inevitable that pink will have the best stats...

Red linen is pink and canvas doesn't exist anymore.
