Alright, review's posted. I think I did alright at keeping it informative before warning about the subjective rating I gave...
I'm fairly sure the "Exploit" gauntlets make you deal slightly more damage to the enemy, as well as disables their special attack. I noticed that when I had it equipped, Heavy Fighters didn't use their block move and Security Guards didn't call reinforcements. Not sure what the "Guard" gear does though.Hopefully someone who actually understand what these accessories do, will clarify them. That's where most of the complaints we hear would stem from. Read the tutorial, make sure to double-check what you have equipped, and you'll have a better time.
