More action oriented combat{again}

I was about to say. Crafters have the best position in this game. The majority of the best equipment in this game is crafted. Yoshi actually made it fairly clear that his intent is to make crafted gear the best gear in the game. They've even gone so far as to say Legendary weapons will have crafted components.

Crafting can only get better so long as Yoshi holds this policy.

Instanced equipment right now is on the up-rise because we're shifting to 2.0 and as we get closer, crafting is undergoing a major overhaul. It's easier to shell out instance gear to keep people occupied while crafting goes through this change. But honestly, don't expect instance gear to be above HQ crafted gear for long.

A lot of people are making a whole heckload of assumptions with a game STILL in major transitions towards a full restart.

Actually crafted gear is only good because of materia, before materia, what did we have. Crafted gear was the best because of Tanaka. Remember the Roaming Nms?
