This sounds like a promising idea, however as many have already posted, I feel that COIN WEAPONS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO UNLOCK EMPYREAN WEAPONSKILLS.
It seems as Empyreans are already being considered a 3rd category after Mythics and Relics. The cost and effort to 99 an Empyrean is now more than that to make a 99 Relic, so this hierarchy seems kind of pointless to begin with yet it is still acceptable. Unlocking Empyrean weaponskills would make Empyrean weapons absolutely useless, as using that weaponskill with other weapons would be a much better result.
I believe people who put much effort and gil into 99ing their Verethragna or Masamune or even Almace (like me) wuold be very unhappy to have done all that just to store their weapon and use the weaponskill with Spharai or Excalibur. What was so nice before was the choice and the different situation where every weapon shined. This would undoubtedly be lost as the only reason to ever make an empyrean, would not be it's use, but the possibility to unlock the weaponskill, absurdly MAKING A 99 COIN VERSION PREFERABLE OVER A 99 EMPYREAN, thus rendering all of the hard work and gil put into these utterly and completely useless.
It is not by chance that Mythic weapons have unlockable weaponskills and are the weapons with the most powerfull stats at the same time, they would be useless if they were not stronger weapons. Making Empyreans the "weaker" tier of relics and unlocking their WS would be a mortal blow.
Thank you for your time, I hope I am understood
