It's both, as was stated in the Livestream.

I am pretty sure you are stating the same thing as she is for the armor part (it being the new token gear), just misunderstanding her point and which gear she is referring to with her statement. Not sure about the Zodiak stuff though.
On topic: I was honestly surprised that King Mog EX would be on par with Leviathan EX in terms of ilvl requirements. Couldn't quite get myself to take Mog seriously enough. We now know that the Leviathan weapons are i100, but it is indeed curious what Mog will drop.
It was said the Zodiak weapons would be a continuous quest through the future patches designed to make it so that not everyone would have all the needed things to complete a full Zodiak weapon by the time the final patch quest were added. I would assume that you can only upgrade you relic to Zodiak up to a point (ilvl115 would seem to be expected) at which it would be upgraded further as we get more content.
atm we have no idea what upgraded relic/ Zodiak weapons will look like.
Allagan2 shouldn't be higher than the new tome gear unless they remove a lockout. Ain't nobody got the will trying their luck in the RNG lottery for months to come.
Allagan"2" loot SHOULD be higher. Should have been higher for t1-9 but it wasn't. At least now it is correct.
While I can sympathize with your point (especially given mostly insipid coil RNG luck up until now for myself), the idea that dudes who are only running WP every week in even better gear every single week, while WP stays the same or gets easier due to more gear, to obtain the best gear doesn't really warm me up. At all. It was annoying enough with i90 of myth and allagan. Now that we're getting an additional ilvl upgrade for our gears whilst the dungeons themselves just keep on getting easier for our gear levels, I at least like the idea that SE wants to make us do some actual hard content for the gear.
