Crystal Tower loot is not AF2.
I don't know what Yoshi-P was referring to with those armor design cards during the Live videos, but I do not believe that the item sets that drop from Crystal Tower are AF2. The reason being is that because they are not Job-specific. Not most of them, anyway. The healing set can be worn by both White Mages and Scholars, rather than just one job specifically. This is why, in my own opinion, the myth gear is the real AF2. Partly because they share the name prefix name of Dynamis gear, which was commonly referred to as AF2 back in the FFXI days, such as for someone in my case, the Cleric's set. It certainly isn't +1, because it's not an HQ version of the Healer's Set, Choral set, etc. I'm sure you guys have varying opinions, but as far as I'm concerned, in my own opinion, these do not count as AF2. And maybe I'm wrong, maybe that art was for LATER Crystal Tower loot... But I think we can safely say that these do not count.

They never said the CT gear was AF2... AF2 gear hasn't been released yet.
