There are more important things you could be doing than fussing over gear which is basically all just the same anyway. Besides, I could have all R50s and completed every quest and beat every boss and still change weapons and end up naked.

As for the balance issue, I can put one materia on a robe and make it better than full plate so maybe "balance" isn't such a good soap box to use to convey your message.



"too bad"

That's exactly right. It's just plain bad.
I totally agree with ellohwell on this issue.
Keep your goal-oriented content for things really prestigious, not everyday gear.
