When hunts first came out I remember being so excited to do them for the gear and minions/weapons. Though i was upset the gear wasn't dyeable, hunt gear IMO has some of the nicest armor in the game.

I feel like since SE is going to resurrect the interest of people grinding Gold Saucer for new items next patch they should put hunts on the radar too. I was very disappointed with the expansion that there was no new hunting gear.

Incentive in this game is a big motivator. When people are done with law gear, there is very little incentive to do hunts other than for some exp while leveling 50-60 or getting upgraded law gear for your alt classes.

To resurrect the interest of hunts we need some cool new gear and items to work towards with hunt tomes. SE can give us some new weapons, minions, housing items, armor, and even maybe some "glamour" clothing like an existing popular FF Character.(ex Lightning gear)

Now that some time has gone by, they could give more of us the option to get to augmented AF gear so we can dye our old AF gear without having to spend a bunch of money on mats, crafting or buying them from the AH. They could even add augmented versions of the original hunt gear so we could get dyeable versions of those too.

There is still room for so much potential for hunts. I hope SE will do something about this soon. S ranks are the only thing people care about now.
