While your correct, they said there would be a way to obtain them outside of how we did so far. Also keep in mind, we currently only have Sword & Scythe, so depending on how else they would be released would have a depending factor for it. Its kinda like if before Dyna, they gave out 500 free base relic weapons for "all jobs", but the base weapons aren't all to great, its the ones at the end that really matter. As for the current Ark weapons, while they are nice, the only one of any real use is the Scythe, past that its just another costume item. While I like costume items, I would still like to see them become something that is functional within actually playing the game in combat, which is where these would be awesome, just... some need toned down a bit, like that sword.
