COVID showed why the Developers need to release Relic content sooner.

I'd like there to be relic content in patch 6.1 or 6.15.

Would you be happy if we got what we had for ShB's relic pre-5.3?

ShB is the anomaly of relics as it was never stated to be released at an earlier point. SB's Eureka relic was initially meant to be in 4.1 but got pushed back to 4.2 (Eureka music is used for 4.1 trailer so it highlights where in the process that decision was made), HW was a much lower cost, only the questline is new to it everything had been done before, ARR had 2 trials unique to it but it was also the 1st full relic questline (1.X had relics but I highly suspect there was going to be more added but 1.X is 1.X and no clue where that would've gone) so gets a bit of leeway.

ShB though has felt like it needed its relic sooner (before 5.2) but just couldn't due to unknown factors(could be new races, could be the unforseen higher popularity of Eureka than anticipated, who knows), it has a good amount attached to it but I think 2nd relic onwards should've costed 3k or 4k poetics(later nerfed to 1k after next step released), it'll be a minor grind for those who play nonstop but a decent one for those that can't and since it is Poetics, people are free to do whatever barring lv80 content.

Same, it would stop the bleed of players.
the .1 is when I lose 98% of my fc and linkshells. They then come back in the .5 patch (fanfest and expansion hype).

Sure, anything. Then a new part in 6.25, 6.35 and so on.

They had to delay the content because some of the devs were too busy with FF16
