I've been a fan of the Ultima Weapons in the various Final Fantasy games before Final Fantasy XI and I viewed Excalibur as XI's answer to that with its Additional effect of damage varying based on HP. I have been considering this upgrade for awhile as something to do after I finished Aegis. The other day, however, I found myself wondering if I would since I found a player with it fully upgraded and noticed that, on the final stage, the Additional effect was gone. I have not seen this on any other Relic, Mythic, Empyrean or Ergon weapon where something was removed completely. What I am wondering is this - is it really gone or is this an error in the item description?
