3.15 arrives December 16.

If they manage to somehow surprise us with unique trials like Chimera and Hydra. I will be thrilled, if it's copy and paste of the original relic from base to zeta then I'mma be severely disappointed.

Well they had stated that those who do not have Zeta by the time Anima is out, they would be better off just starting at the Anima stage, in other words doing Zeta is sort of a waste of time

Also why have they been so hush hush about this patch, barely even mention of Relic, usually more info is given :(
I guess it might be another really bad rng thing like previous one and they do not want early dissapointment? lol

I'm picturing the first step being the most fun with unique trials but then that's the one we skip with a Zeta... Well, that's assuming any of the steps are fun.

nah i think the 1 step will be the most boring one , travel here there , kill some mobs , maybe some fate (yawn) , or dungeon and then procced to enhance it on the 2nd step with new cool trial (chimera's return , and Hydra Corp :P )

A trial with the primal Anima would be amazing, and it would explain the delay for the Anima weapon. Otherwise if it's an exact copy and paste from the 2.x relics I have to wonder why it was delayed until now.

I didn't like the grind of the relic's early stages, and got discouraged at the alexandrite/materia step. Should i even bother with this relic, knowing they aren't going to be anything special?

I'm not saying this to be a downer, its just. Nothing is selling me on trying relic again.

This seems like it'd be the coolest case scenario. Especially considering we only received one trial this patch. (Which was just the more difficult version of Singularity Reactor) That being said, the coffin at the end of Void Ark sure seemed big enough to contain Anima, though that has nothing to do with the relic or Anima being a part of one of these five steps.

No preliminary patch notes?

Well it's either that, OR it requires items in one of the stages. If they release any info at all over item stages it would just instantly and absolutely just destroy that market and make prices like 500% of what they are now.

Cant say that I'm expecting much to be honest. If it's going to similar to the previous one then I'll just wait until they do the catchup patches again.

They wouldn't have to reveal the items, just maybe show the weapon models, give an overview of the steps and all that. Not like it matters now anyway, a little less than 20 hours left.

yeah :/ that's the one thing I'm surprised/sad they didn't show. JUST the weapon models would've been enough. It is odd..who knows? There's gotta be some sort of reason they have been so tight with info

I think Yoshida just loves surprising us, but I've seen the icon for the Anima Ninja weapon and I'm already disappointed. I hope that's the first step and it'll get some glow or something, as it stands its literally a white with a slight grey gradient at the tip, but who knows, it might look better in game...

Hoping it's at least dyeable in one of the steps 'cuz...not a fan of the nymeian military green on the sch book...A nice glow like the zenith would be nice though

Personally I imagine that the first few phases of the anima weapon may be somewhat dull like the relic weapons and then ramp up in quality and appearance as we go through the patches.

SE only does preliminary patch notes for tenth patches. Hundredth patches have never had preliminary patch notes, due to how small they are.

Those are regular patch notes, not preliminary patch notes.

Sadly I checked a few and found no preliminary patch notes for hundredth patches ; ;
