Meh. I wonder what lead Square to do this . I always liked Final Fantasies for their open world, where (after certain point in the game) you could roam the world as you liked, pick the subquests you liked and possibly find any weapon you liked.

I suppose the same goes for the Bazaar "recipes", doesn't it? Or can these recipes be found in the game? I know it they can be worked out by selling the loot carefully, but frankly, that's time-consuming a lot + I see no fun in that (and I'd like to stay out of the Strategy Guides for my first playthrough).
