Question about Job "AF Armor"

[Akuun]

How to properly RANT.

Not much of a rant, and I like Penn and Teller Bullshit, it's a good show.

Much like how those had to suffer with basically instant respawn NMs simply because people are scared of dedicating a little time? (As in complaining about something insignificant?)

Sorry you can't have your jet black white mage armor I suppose o.O

First I don't play healer, second I would go for purple. And I agree, there is too much content on easy mode.

It is crafted gear with multiple materia added to them... I believe someone figured it was around 4 or so to make it close or equal to some of the rare gear... I would have to dig through many many threads to find it again... and the cat is kind of tired to go digging through them...

The cat is bemused =-.-=

Look at the armor from coffers, it's a joke compared to any piece of crafted gear with 1 materia.
Ifrit weapons are the only thing so far that does better than crafted with 1 materia.

I'm glad they're sticking with the traditional colors for job armor. I'd be a little offended if I saw a paladin running around in jet black armor.

All i have to say is, i am pretty much sure 99% of you knew the gear was gonna be U/U so why did you think you was gonna be able to dye it?

People hanging onto that thread that Yoshi dangled about there being the possibility of dying U/U gear in the future.

Thank you for the dev response, Rukkirii! While I was definitely hoping for a different answer, I also understand the decision and looking forward to future higher-tiered Job armor. I can't wait to see the designs!

I've confirmed with the dev. team that they won't be making it possible to dye job-specific equipment in the future. For some people, jobs and their equipment hold a special image in their minds and there might be those put off by the fact that the image can be altered by being able to dye them multiple colors. We want to maintain that special image by keeping the equipment uniform.

However, in the future, it might be possible to release different colored job-specific equipment as new items.

I can guarantee that atleast 95/100 people that vote for this would approve of it and I think Yoshi should take that into consideration. If my numbers don't see right he should have this question in a new player poll and implement it based on that. The examples that were shown of multi-colored AF was the best idea I have ever seen on these forums by a mile. It just seems so right and I thought for sure that it would be implemented after seeing the reaction to it, yet we get this kind of answer? I am severely disappointed with the Dev. Team at this moment.

Just another flawed decision to the list. Pretty much every single FF had multiple versions for every AF...some changed colors between characters, some changed between le, some changed between allies and enemies...but there always were multiple colors of them.

But yeah...it's the FF feel...that's right. I think we should also change to 2D images too...this will make wonders to "FF feel". /facepalm

Never confirmed to be U/U, actually. Also, I'd like to reiterate that there are multicolored AF in the dats already, but not for every class. They just can't complete them in time I'm willing to bet. Or they convinced themselves that players would bitch about it and so they stopped production on multiple versions.

[DeadRiser]

I won't lie, I think it's a dumb decision. The way games are now, everyone should be unique. Who cares if it's that color back in the day, I don't want to look like anyone else.

Whatev I guess, it's a lost cause for me.

[BruceyBruceyBangBang]

I just had a thought that would back up them not having the time to do this. As far as I know, they have been trying to also give AF unique effects.

Touched up on in the live letter. Yoshida said that the developers told him it is extremely difficult for them to animate the WHM hood to toggle up and down and that it might not happen in the end.

Perhaps this project started out too ambitious and then had to be condensed into something more manageable. Multicolored animated gear for this engine actually sounds like too much work. This is another big reason there is a new engine being developed, but that's a different story entirely.
