For Emps I may agree, for Relics, not even close... Half the work? Lets go by old standard prices, meaning pre-Adoulin, AC was at around 7k average on Phoenix, now each Relic needs about 18k AC to complete it. With that math a Relic was nearly 125 Million gil, on the other hand look at Marrows, they were at roughly 15 Mil each, so 5 of them would be a total of around 75 Million gil. So really by making a Relic you are doing almost 2/3rds of the work, now when you factor in the WS kill trials which take hours to do and are painfully slow, I am sure we can all agree that getting a 95 Relic is at very least 2/3rds of the work. So 2/3rds of the work deserve 2/3rds of the power right? Seems to me that means they would need at least some form of boost top get that high.
