Colored gear with specific classes.

[Roaran]

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.

I think this is great, so long as there are more colors to choose from. If people care more about aesthetics than stats, they should have no problem sacrificing stats for aesthetics.

The people who wan't both will never be satisfied so don't even bother.

Yeah I personally would give up stats for aesthetics since a bulk of the stats will be in materia and I'd be able to balance out by putting more of a certain type of materia to make up for it.

As Roaran said, if we can get more colors available with either duplicate stat spreads or more varied stat spreads (ie: have a Purple robe with the stats of the Green and a Blue robe with the stats of the Red, or have them be in-betweens), there should be something to make most people happy.
