Not to mention RPGs or Anime/Visual Novels that reference FF even use the same color scheme (hence how you know it's being referenced..) As I said before, it's truly not that big of a deal because 'AF Gear' is just 1 set of armor out of a flood of many that will exist and already currently exist. If it's the best gear it will be only for a short time then something new and better comes out regardless.

In most MMOs the best gear generally all look alike or you can barely make it out because of all the flames and neon lightshow it puts off -- Which is generally how you know its the best gear.
