Will SE gonna address Speed Belt for Endwalker?

[Imora]

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

Belts are being removed in EW, speed belt is a rare drop very expensive eureka drop item that has substantial stat impact. Is this belt suddenly to become worthless?

I think the suggestions to change it to another accessory would do well. Perhaps wrist? Speed belt may potentially even get to keep the name then lol.

Problem is...

They're trying to move the stats to related gear.

Ironworks, sure, just put it onto the other pieces of ironworks.

Frog leather. Just move it to the rest of the frog leather.

But, what "SET" is the speed belt part of?

Do you move the stats onto the hoody robe? The elemental, the elemental+1?

[Stepjam]

It's an extremely rare optional item from old content. I doubt they change anything. If it were critical somehow that would be one thing, but it isn't.

If they change nothing, it's going to become the most disappointing rare drop in the entire game.

You'll get the most powerful belt in the game, that then can't be equipped.

I would assume they just make a new item. New bangle called speed belt. The defense and other standard stats that didn't make the belt special (just a regular belt of that level) go off into their sets, but the extra unique stuff combines with the standard bangle for that level. New appropriately statted gear with extra bonuses, as if the speed belt had always been a bracelet (bangle).

Add a conversion option for the calamity salvager for those who already have the belt, mark it rare / ex. The converted bracelet being sell-able (if not already soul-bound . . . . lol), just like the old one was, and is what is replaced in the loot table (old belt like all the other belts being lost to time, I mean I still have some cracked materia just for the giggles lol).
