PSA Get your Replica first!

He will tell you when you ask at the bottom you MUST Have the real one in your inventory. The replica is only 90 gil

UPDATE CONFIRMED: For some reason if you don't start the new quest you must have the Relic, but once you trade it in you have the option.

You're kidding. Wow.

1) If this is true, it's RIDICULOUS.

2) In CASE this was true, I went to see him first before I tried trading it. He still had NO options relating to Zeta replicas.

Even now, after I traded it in, he has NOTHING for Zeta replicas.

If this is bugged, I want a copy of my Zeta back :(

eh w/e I threw my zeta to the side long ago hardly every glamour my weapons

You have to equip your Zeta and then he will offer the option. I got my replica prior to trading mine in for Anima.

He does't even have a menu option relating to it.

GG devs. This could have been avoided with more transparency.

I suspect they'll fix this. There was no prompt telling you about getting the replica before turning it in. At least I hope so.

It was at the bottom of the list for me.

Also, maybe make sure the actual quest is 100% complete

Good that I grabbed a replica first, so all replica buy options are still open for me.

Gotta admit though: if this is indeed true it is an utterly STAGGERING feat of developer incompetence.
This has to be fixed ASAP or there will be a lot of people pretty bummed by being cheated out of unique projection options.
