Either that or the Gear from Crystal Tower gear is meant to help make Turn 5 slightly possible?

Well sure it will help to replace all ivl70 with ilvl80. But the patch wont come until nov/dez right? so by then u get ilvl90 from mythstones and coils - so yeah kinda mäh.

Hmm I see this thread has died out, was actually not meaning to revive it, but want to leave few notes here.

To the people saying that Crystal Tower will be "dead on arrival", I agree with you on terms of endgame gear progression, IF it will drop only Lv 80 gear and then IF those players are wearing full Lv 90 gear and have done Bahamut's Coil, THEN it is dead on arrival for those few select players.

But you are forgetting two major things:
1) It will drop Lv 80 gear which you can spiritbind and make Materia from.
2) It will most likely drop something like Mythology stones.

So I foresee even the uber top geared players still doing Crystal Tower.
