Colored gear with specific classes.

[Reinheart]

The reason that different colored equipment now offer different stats was because when making the item-related adjustments, the team changed it so you can easily differentiate stat differences by the color of the gear.

I understand that some people want dyes to just be an aesthetic-only option, and I'll be sure to pass that along to the dev. team along with other feedback.

Hopefully they find something because JP thread is going nuts about this one LOL seems like bigger issue than the PL imo lol

I'm glad to hear your input in this. ; w; I checked the JP boards a few days ago and didn't see one, and there have been mixed messages about whether or not they even care as much as the EU/NA players do. Do they seem to be more in favour of it as someone said a few pages back? Or against it? O:

Not a thread with lots of response but just look at number of likes gives you idea that they feel exactly the same as NA/EU

I'm glad to hear that, I can't imagine it staying this way forever I'll be sorely dissapointed if it does.

*edit*

Here thanks to the JP thread for finding old post from YoshiP with a date so I can dig my translation thread.

Seriously issues allready? I don't care if I can't dye my armour every single colour of the rainbow but I do want some choices in the matter, christ keep it so each armour set has 3 colour variants that DON'T effect stats or the job that can wear them, it's inane we have materia to boost our stats we don't need a 3rd layers for slight customization boosts.

A better suggestion would be to make dyes aesthetic-only, and that each piece of equipment that is different, should have different names. For example:

Currently On The System

• Cobalt Cuirass
• Red Cobalt Cuirass

Ideal System

• Cobalt Cuirass
• Reinforced Cobalt Cuirass

The latter allows you to dye it however you want. It's so incredibly simple, I am amazed that nobody at Square ever thought of this!

AKA you color coded players, which is lame and needs to be changed.

If you're still reading this can you remind the dev team that they forgot to put in a red cobalt plate belt? The set looks... incomplete without the belt colored to match.

Not some Bay, the vast majority. This is an awful system that needs to be removed.

But thanks for the response.. hopefully we can have some change soon.

Thank you! Hopefully aesthetic colouring is coming back. The stats difference could be shown in the description of the item by adding a class icons to show people which class it would be optimal for while not restricting it for that particular class. Or something else.
