Lackluster Graphics in FFXIV

[Chrees]

I actually saw this and couldn't wait to see it, but here it is, coming up on 8 months after this gear was "introduced" and we still haven't seen anything other than the usual copy+paste+recolor of the gear...aside from the NM gear which adds a small amount of flash, but it is nothing compared to what people have come to expect from a Final Fantasy game. I want the gear that was leaked, but I'm afraid it just isn't coming soon enough.

Don't mean to be nitpicky, but it hasn't even been 5 months since the letter (Letter IV, 2/28/2011) that introduced them was released. (source)

That being said, it's obviously gear that's designed for specific jobs instead of classes, and with jobs being released after patch 1.20 (source), don't expect it to be released before September/October at the earliest.
