Non-Flame crafters getting burned

It isn't fair, straight up. I may have screwed up and not got the gear I need now, when I had the chance then, but now I'm regretting it. The option to spend Company Seals in other cities needs to be available, no matter the consequences.

Sameness is boring. Variety is good.

Is there nothing in your GC that you want? That's better than your other GC?

This is a good arguement for why I should be able to wear job only warrior gear on my bard.

I as a player don't want everyone to have everything. This is a game...and you are asked to make choices. Boo hoo hoo if you can't get an item from one GC over another.

I'm sure there are those that agree with this philosophy. There is something to say about uniqueness of characters.

That said I do agree with the idea of inflated seal costs for similar stat items from one GC to the next. People are complaining about a few minor stats that won't really do anything.

I am more agreeing to the point if there were huge differentiation due to GCs specialization in certain weapons that being part of that GC earns you an advantage to get a higher stat gear at a lower seal level vs a GC that doesn't specialize in it. Say GC 1 seal cost 5000 due to GC specialization. GC 2 seal cost 7500 due to no specialization requiring more effort to acquire.

I never understood why MMO's make you choose factions. In single player its cool, but it never ends well in MMO's. Everyone complains until both factions are basically the same anyway, alla WoW. That or they give you access to the other factions defining qualities, alla EVE Online and FFXI.

SE will eventually settle on one of these options, just like they did in the past. Because making long lasting decisions that early, in an MMO game, is silly at best.

there is always the options to make 2 more characters and select dif GC so you can get everything

Final Fantasy games have always been about story and lore...if they steer away from that just to give out items without consequences...they will truly piss off their main player base.

I'm sorry but if I wanted another WoW where everyone could get everything with no consequences I'd go play WoW. I want to make some tough decisions and get what I get.

Sorry to say that one item over another isn't game destructive in Final Fantasy XIV. The stats they put on x,y, and z item from one GC to another isn't substantial...and the fact is remember materia plastered gear is still substantially better then anything you can get from static gear.

Or FFXI? Because the few cases where you couldn't get any item like the CoP rings they made sure you knew. Until they made it so you could change your mind.
