Nothing came out with 7.0, several weapons from the benchmark are missing, they only made the Ultimate versions of the Omega Brush and Viper twinfangs, and not the normal non glowy versions. (you can have almost full party comps do uwu/ucob and not get any weapons for it either.)

Anyone else find it disappointing? Didn't they have a period of time where they'd add stuff like Red Mage weapons to fights where they didn't exist before?
Its most likely because the art team is having to create new updated graphics for all of the existing 5,000+ items in the game. Many of the items do not have the original high definition art files so the updated items in some cases have to be recreated from scratch. The Devs said that this will take them several years to work through it all and they are working from the most popular to the least popular.

Because of this process, I am not surprised at seeing some items not added for new jobs in old content.
