new items are counter productive?

[syntaxlies]

Yes, it seems pretty illogical. Obviously new class weapons are not doing irreparable damage to the game or anything, and if anything it's only adding some nice stuff, but at the same time, don't you think it's kind of useless?

S.E. made the decision to make classes useless. Before making gear for classes, they should make classes have a use again.

This was just a cheap way to give crafters content, but then you realise there is no demand for these items.

the only class i would still use is archer, cause if you have an archer heavy party you really only need one of them to be bard. and the rest will have better DD buffs and survival skills.

They are not class only, in video it shows a bard holding the darksteel bow. It was a bard bc it was wearing Darklight Corselet which was job onry.

Unless it's a very bad typo.

(Obviously not in regards to your bow example.)

[TheVedis]

This is more proof that there are more plans for clases and jobs are not the end all

people need to take a step back and realize that, as it has been stated several times since jobs were announced

[Saiph]

dont like class only stuff because it feels like a step back to classes rather then jobs. classes can use ifrit mog an garuda stuff anyway. And they get probably awesome armor too in which you can put materia most likely.
I think we will see mor classes in partyplay againf as soon people get the new gear.

Seems that way, especially if the darksteel is better than AF, SE really don't seem to have much common sense at times.

where did you guys get the idea that they are limited to classes only? I read none such nonsense.

It's hard to ignore the evidence to suggest otherwise, it could be a typo but its unlikely seeing as its like that on all of the new craftable stuff.

its not a typo, loadstone recipe list has been updated as well with the same restrictions.

wow, how lame... I can't see using any of the class only weapons unless they have waaaay better stats than the one I use for the corresponding Job. Even then, I think that I'd only use the THM weapon. These new weapons are just inventory killers, it seems.

this can go 2 ways

first way they are junk, waste of time and resources, waste of new materials to farm ect

second they are op, base stats are close to ifrit except now you can meld strength on fist ect. jobs get pushed to the side for op weapons.(except for 1 bard whms and blm)

both ways are dumb
