I have been telling ppl for months SE isn't the kind to quickly abandon system they put into play, rather they revamp and revamp and revamp until it's fixed or the ppl utterly hate it!!

I for one love how they have kept the Script system relevant. Let's Talk RED FIRST

RED scripts offer both in the short term, potential for new redscript vendor gear and in the long run, much desired Materia IV's!! I could not image a better use of the redscript!! Prior to this patch 3.3, ppl, like myself, that have been disinterested in converting our redscripts into favor crafting mats have been stockpiling redscript tokens ( I think i got like 67? i Know a few ppl that have more). With the advent of buying Materia IV's yet not getting more than a week's allowance of a head start over the late comers, they have done a great job at keeping the system balance!

Likewise with the BLUE scripts!
I have red a lot of complaints about the blue scripts esp on the crafting side; patch 3.2 attempted to make crafting blue's more useful however it failed mainly due most blue script mats were associated with CUL 3 star ONE YIELD FOODS......"aint nobody got time for that!"; Nevertheless with the increase on cul (and alc) crafting yields and the moving of favor gear materials down from red to blue scripts at a better conversion rate, BLUE scripts are looking "sexy"!!

All in all SE does listen to its community and eventually comes out with something the lot of us will enjoy!!
