That's it for this week's edition of the Eorzea Examiner

I'll acknowledge that the way FFXIV currently handles its itemization does work for what it's worth. There's no arguing that it does follow the basic MMO conventions of "do new content, get new gear, numbers go up." What it's lacking is that variation and customization that other MMOs and games like Diablo III and Marvel Heroes provide. Yes we should expect some flat power increases with new tiers of content and equipment, but half the fun of new gear is figuring out how to put it all together and pull the max DPS/healing/survivability possible out of it. I'm a bit of a numbers nerd though, so I'll admit that I may be a bit pickier about these things.

That's it for this week's edition of the Eorzea Examiner. What do the rest of you think about FFXIV's itemization? Do you prefer it the way they have it now or would you like to see a little more variety? Does the idea of set bonuses and item procs sound like a good addition to the game? If you've got any opinions on this or you've got an idea for next week's column, let us know in the comments below. Until next time, see you in Eorzea.READ MORE: ffxiv gold
