Required Class/Rank failed - Can we have Optimal Rank and Favoured Class back?

[Dreamer]

So in conclusion, just give us the old system back and reserve restrictions for R50 AF gear.

I keep seeing people say this. Could someone enlighten me as to what AF gear is supposed to be? I can't think of anything in the game that it would stand for.

Job specific equipment, like paladin armor or black mage robes.

Artifact Gear -

Gear designed specifically for the job(s) in question.

Which they already stated would also be coming.

Artifact gear is to satisfy the latent cosplayer within 99% of the FF audience, and so that's why such gear should be reserved especially to remedy the lack of - what's that stupid terminology called again? - oh that's right "class distinctiveness".

That's basically the only valid reason (and i say the word "valid" with inverted commas) to undermine the optimal rank system, as outlined previously in my other posts (bulletpointed for your convenience).

The optimal rank / favored class system felt very bland to me. I ended up keeping the same gear on with each class, I didn't really feel like I was changing classes, just abilities.

I think it would be nice if they could at least revise the restrictions on crafting clothing. Some of the restricted classes for crafting gear are absolutely nonsensical. I buy something only to find out that I can't equip it on the most logical crafting class, and yet meanwhile can wear it as a Pugilist etc.

This I agree with, they definitely need to revise DoH gear. The problem stems with SE trying to give players the ability to do whatever the hell they want before and it failed.

Why are we necrobumping threads?

And by we I mean bobbygunz.

And by 'bobbygunz' you mean gifthorse. I had suspected it since returning and reading the forums for the last two weeks, but since this topic was buried deep, I knew it had to be either gifthorse reviving their topic (again, they necroed it on another alt before too) or Rokien looking to stir crap.
