"Revamped" Rewards System

So because the Primals aren't all released at the same time, that's your basis for not keeping them on equal footing with one another? That's a pretty weak argument.

Furthermore, they are dramatically changing combat in ARR, as well as the Primal fights themselves quite likely. Sadly, I don't expect the trend to change, as we've been told that SMN and the level cap increase will be in the first major patch after launch. As such, I'm betting Titan will be 55~60 battle and drop corresponding weapons for those ranges, even though all of this conflicts with the game's lore and as I said, kills incentive to do the older content.

I prefer to think of trading the drops in for seals as a way of giving people incentive to help others do the content, rather than just as a petty bonus for when you find something better to use. I'm a little surprised you wouldn't be more supportive, as someone who attained both Spharai and Glanzfaust (which I remember you were horribly disappointed with at the time).

Sorry but I won't be convinced otherwise - newer doesn't have to automatically = better when the items in question are within the same level range. Tanaka had it right when they tried to keep everything comparably good, so that players who maybe wanted an item but didn't care for the content to get it, could do something else to obtain a similarly good item.
