Dated Items - will they go poof?

[Mordain]

Has there been any word on what will happen to all those old "dated" items we may still be carrying around? Not like it's the end of the world if they want to axe them entirely, but is this to be assumed? Has anything been said? I know I have a few things kicking around that I still use on lowbie jobs, stuff I haven't felt the need to replace with modern versions. I don't mind replacing them, but it would be nice to hear if they are just going to vanish into the ether or something.

"What we would like is for players who have those dated items, even dated items can be turned into materia. Those items players have made in the past and have been using, when the spirit bond reaches 100 percent, turn those into materia and then put those on the new items. Then you can have your old items and your new items together as one. That's the kind of image that we had."

* Old recipes will remain valid concurrently with new recipes for a time, after which they will be removed completely.

For those of you wondering what will happen to dated items in A Realm Reborn, Yoshi-P wanted us to let you all know that we will be making an announcement once the direction and specifics have been decided, based off all of your feedback of course.

I hope they just null the recipes and not actually remove the items. Some of them are great for spiritbonding still.

I think they should stay in game not just because I personally own a lot of dated stuff and some of it is my favorite gear and whats left of dated stuff is good for materia; but imagine if you're one of the players who left a while back, and you come back in 2.0 to find that...ALL your gear is gone...

They should just find a way to pay attention to which items are in the game currently, and erase from the dats the ones that aren't. And as people NPC stuff and convert it to materia, the dated stuff will naturally cycle out.

As long as I can keep my dated skull eye patch +3, I'm happy.
