Colored gear with specific classes.

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

Ok first off, not to sound like a jerk, but those color schemes forced on us don't even makes sense for the classes they are being imposed on.

More importantly, we have the Materia system specifically for customizing stats. The Dying system is supposed to be there for customizing aesthetics. We do not need two different methods for customizing stats. It will only serve to confuse and frustrate players.

To your point about the uniqueness of the dying system, I didn't mean to imply that it was somehow innovative. I simply meant there were multiple colors to chose from that allowed players to have a unique look if they chose to. Now it is not even an option.
