Although obviously popular colours will arise, but is that as much an issue? Personally changing stats with colours is rediculous it makes no sense other than to help typecast people just by looking at them and I don't think we have many issues with that with us seeing our weapons and all....
Yeeesss. Thank you~. That's much more frank than how I could have put it.


What I would liken this 1 colour nonsense to are Scorpion harnesses. XI armours came in one colour, and it was a popular armour choice resulting in many people wearing it for the stats to look the same as another say, thief, standing next to him.

At least with the aesthetic-dye system technically you're wearing the same piece of armour but the combinations will always have far more variety than XI's. And now with the restrictions it's come to that all over again and in some cases like the Cobalt plate armour, it only comes in red and red is superior to undyed. But only if people use them that way. Personally I'll do my best but I'm not going max myself out based on this pre-determined 'role' people have in mind for a Conjurer.

Anyhow, Jobs are coming, and if you thought that there was no uniqueness in the past, there certainly isn't now. And while you are in the opinion of hating the idea of AF? I am not. Because I think you assume it'll have the best stats forever. I highly doubt it and people will likely mix and match it with different pieces of gear depending on what they want. I'm looking forward to my White Mage gear.

What is the difference, might I ask, of you wondering who is a healer and who is a damage dealer with mages, and then looking at a black mage and a white mage in Full Af? = ^= I mean one you clearly want, and the other you don't. Double standard?
