Yeah they will be obsolete, but ill be damned if i am not doing 150 damage more per weaponskill with my harpoon which equates to about 3000 damage more for me per ifrit fight, and I know its going to help me on the moogle fight.
no one can be optimized though, thats another point people are choosing to ignore

every guild has peices that are better then others, so in the end, everyone will want a peice from another guild they cant have, and that isnt "non optimization" but balance itself

your best legs may come from company a, while the helmet from company b

everyone in the same company as you will have equal rights to the same peices, and people in others will have their peices

the incentive is that you get the choice of which company you go with and thats the peices you get optimized
if you chose the other guild, well then youd be out the legs instead of the head, either way, youd be out a peice

and since NO ONE can get all of them, then its not like someone has an advantage over you as such, no, they are in the same boat you are


so when you speak of optimization, optimization vs what? other players, or against what you feel are the best peices in the game regardless of the fact no one can actualy have all at the same time
