Why more weapons?

[Felis]

I don't get it. The Ifrit weapons are the best in game... and they're basically overkill for the content we have right now anyways. Why not add some cool armor or something?

You mean Moogle armor like this? ^^

^ Wrong. Only legendary items in the future will be upgradable. The current weapons are just to keep us busy now.

Items can be taken in a few ways... I can call my Ifrit Axe and Item.. and it is an item... Its like going to a store and buy a plastic sword... thats an Item right... yes... :/

And these Primal Battles are coming "in the Future" and once the future comes.. its in the past... What is the future.... Did they really say what the "future" is? hmmmm

Yeah, I think some other item types like armor might be nice as well. Having a mat drop would be nice too since we could then just craft whatever kind of item we'd like.

Armor takes longer to code, than weapons. You make the weapon once and it scale to the character. Armor you have to touch up and adjust for every race and sex in the game.

The short, weapon are quicker to code and they are already working on Job-specific armor.
