ocelot51 12/11/18 9:52:33 AM #6:	This is a very specific want, but I love RPGs with dedicated ultimate equipment sets. Like in (the original version of) FFIV, the final dungeon contained a set of ultimate gear for nearly everyone. Bonus points if they have some story relevance (like Lloyd's Material Blades in Tales of Symphonia). I really like checking those boxes in games. <cite>ocelot51 posted [p:913937447] in What are i...
