Colored gear with specific classes.

[Jinko]

Kiote I think you are over exagerating a bit there, there was nothing unique about FFXIV's dying system, unless you mean the 100's of people who were running round in pink armour just because it attracted the most attention.

I am sorta with betel on this, the system does need to be balanced out though so that 1 colour = 1 stat (not neccesarily for the same base item though) so red cobalt = strength, red felt = int.

We have plenty of customisation with materia so lets not blow this out of context.

As I said in a different thread I can quite easily see them having it so that when jobs are added.

White Mage = Red
Black Mage = Green

Paladin = Blue
Warrior = Red
