Apparently someone in the JPN servers has completed their Animus relic!

This just proves how nerfed the anima weapon questline is and how insane jp gamers are.

I honestly think the anima quest isnt that hard if this guy made it so early, i wish SE would put more hard and grind content, this isnt really enough and easy obtainable, i seriously dont understand why people complain about it

The crafted items are actually the easy part of this relic phase ^^ They ain't hard to craft, you just need to have a few friends :)

Haven't seen anyone say its hard.
I have heard:
Bland
Uncreative
Lack of effort put into it
Rehashed
Rehashed
Rehashed
Boring
Overgrind
No story
Not fun
Etc.

But none of these things make it hard the point of the questline is that it isn't hard. If hard is your cup of tea, you have your savage weapon...

Also rating the difficulty of a grind based of the one guy who grinded harder than any one else in the world...

In mathematics, hard refers to the amount of time it takes to complete some task (e.g. NP-Hard) which is what the quoted was referring to. If you read the post you quoted he even specified the ease of being obtainable. Excluding the amount of time it takes for you to complete the fight, then it will take 8 weeks to get any other 210 weapon given your weapon isn't in the loot table and you don't win rolls for the dip (you can buy either after 8 weeks, or the dip should be yours by default on the 8th week assuming you are playing with fair loot rules).

Not to mention, if you're a casual player who doesn't have time for AS or you don't have great gear, why do you even need a completed relic weapon in the first place?

The reason people are saying it gets outdated is that by the time you actually get it the next stage is released meaning you have recieved very little if not any use out of it.

To expand on this, the relic weapon isn't even the best weapon currently for multiple jobs such as NIN, DRG, and SMN for example.

Well the HQ specialist items are around 50k each on Japanese servers, as opposed to 500k-5 mil depending on the server.

I'm including .. queue time.. load time.. small banter.. completion.. back to Iddlyshire... exhaling... *wash repeat*.. I normally do my runs in DF with fast queue solo..

But yes boss kill is 5 mins max.. if we're not trying to try hard

Over time it sounds pretty doable, but I just can't imagine spamming Alexander for 16 hours straight like that. Bless their crazy soul.
