Being able to meld to AF would be cool...

I'm thinking if we could, and the result of a failure is 0% condition of the armor and all materia blown off it with a 96 hour wait time due to "materia toxins" or something of the sort before you can repair it and try again. Anyone?

What's the lore behind not being able to meld to AF?

[urtv]

i thought not being able to meld to certain gear was because they are too old

There
You answer it yourself
It's lore item, it has inherent property, not some common item you'll see in the market

EDIT
Please leave AF as it is!
It was meant to be everyone set of armour, and to be able to meld it with materia will totally ruin that purppose

But it's entirely cool that the common items, as you call them, are better than more or less all the AF pieces?

They're legendary items, yet weaker than everything else you can wear at the level. Yeah, that's pretty awesome isn't it. Really worthy of the lore attached to them.

well considering most af beside what? whm? is almost useless with any double melded armor. so sorry i am for melding AF and wish it could be colored to.

Rina, I'm sorry, but do you ever have anything constructive, or hell, even nice to say on these forums? Every single post I've seen from you is 'No-Policing' people with ideas or questions and then attempting to berate them with your elitist tendencies.

Can you back off please? I'm asking nicely. Honestly, I am.

On topic: I had figured the 'Unique' tag on items usually meant that there was only one in existence, or that the item was so rare, your character didn't want to toss it in with their other gear. It is a revered item, or maybe even taboo, so attaching materia to it would just seem....wrong.

Plus, I remember reading somewhere that said that AF gear was meant to be on par with double-meld gear. It isn't, but maybe that was another thought behind the logic. 'We are going to make it just like gear you would get with minimal effort anyway, so we don't want you making it any better because of that.'

It's an idea.
