Releasing a prototype of a system without telling the community that is a prototype is a pretty mean move from part of the developers, not a master stroke. It confuses people, making them believe that the system is set in stone when it really isn't. That's just a good way to amplify any potential frustration. If it is really a prototype, I sure hope Squeenix will tell us. But I doubt that is the case. The only prototyp-ish thing about it is that it's a pretty dated and 'vanilla' system. It's what I'd expect a developer to release if vanity functions in MMOs were a new thing in the genre.
The only restriction I could understand are Job specific iconic gear (so pretty much all the AF stuff). I wouldn't mind having those off-limits for the prisms. But keeping class restrictions on non-iconic gear that will not affect your stats at all? I just don't follow.
