it was an ok grind, got mine in 2 1/2 days. the weapon looks better ingame. https://imgur.com/a/1cbdS3o#ZlfCBQr
Its a hit or miss for some of the weapons for me. Like for me, some of the glow colors do not match the class that its on.
The only relic weps that I *REALLY* like are the GNB and WHM weapons. I like the models for some of the others (MCH, DNC, SAM) and then the rest (DRK especially) are just....eugh...nothing I like about them. Some of the weapons looked more complete at their first glowy stage (AST and SCH specifically)
Design wise, they're pretty hit or miss. I like the effect overall and think they stand out from the other weapons with glow pretty well; I would put them below the Zeta and Anima weapons, but much better than the Eureka weapons. As for their acquisition, I was pretty disappointed. The grind for the best weapon in the game should be longer and feel a bit more rewarding and doing one or two expansion old content as the most efficient way to get them feels lackluster. Overall wish they put more into both Bozja and the Relics that accompany it.
The grind itself was actually pretty easy. I was done with my first weapon (GNB) earlier this evening. I plan to do at least one more. As far as their designs go...about the only 2 I actually like are GNB and SAM, which was the 2 I had in mind to grind anyway. We've got 6 months ahead of us though, maybe I'll feel crazy and do another. lol The GNB weapon though...I love it. Absolutely love it. It complements the GNB job gear extremely well, provided one has the Idealized set. It was also nice finally getting a gunblade relic worthy of a Hrothgar in terms of its overall mass.
Some look nice, some don't but overall they lack effects imo. Compared to other expansion relics or even SHB previous step ones, it looks like a middle relic instead of the last step. The crystals look nice, but they're barely noticeable on most weapons and the glows as well, plus they have almost no animation.
Im Glad the effects are not as over the top as Eureka or Anima
hit or miss design but you can say that for every relic and its an incredibly easy final step like Anima
while i like most the designs i kinda wish they were inspired by weapons in Ff12/tactics
They look nice. However, apparently on Youtube throughout the comments everyone thinks they look bad. Coming from Desperius FFXIV channel.
i didn't expect much from our favorite drunk so i was not disappointed :D
The relic designs themselves vary to me. I like a few of them, some are cool but the ARR and Anima relics beat them, and then some like the books are.... Ehhhhhh??? Overall I think they are better then the Eureka ones.
Got mine in a day on MNK. Looks awful but I can’t deny it’s BiS and no effect version will pass as glamour when it’s use has dried up.
I think they mostly look pretty cool and overall the process was good with the exception of Delubrum Reginae which had a lot of potential but ultimately turned into a let down due to how some members of our community have chosen to approach it. I hope they keep peoples behavior in mind when designing future content so they don't repeat the same mistake.
Haven't finished the grind yet but, appearance wise, they're pretty awful. I'm not usually into the super sparkly glowy weapons in general but these are easily the worst of the bunch yet. The only one I like is the AST weapon and then the SAM sword is decent (but there are already so many nice SAM swords anyway). I hope someone likes the rest of them because I definitely don't.
Alright so I have gotten my dark knight "Relic" every expac and nothing annoys me more is when they do a one-eighty on the design. For lvl 80 Dark knight it has been this long gothic medieval straight sword and now for the final stage it has becomes a curve blade without a handle? It has lost completely lost any resemblance of the previous versions. Like if they are going to keep these weapon systems going they need to add and not completely just throw in a new weapon. I am only doing the final stage to complete the quest, but will not be using that sword.
The particle effect on them reminds me of the Epitaph weapons from .hack/G.U. I think they are fantastic looking.
One thing I noticed when I actually got a hold of Blade's Honor (PLD) is that they do not preview well and that they look much better close up. For example, it is close to impossible to see that the blade part of Blade's Honor is supposed to look like a starry sky in preview.
They have been doing the new unique model then new glow since 2.45 with the Relic Nexus -> Zodiac Weapon step. Did you forget that Deathbringer, Nothung, Guillotine of the Tyrant and Cronus look nothing a like? Caladbolg, Elemental Guillotine and Xiphias are similarly disconnected models.
I believe they do this to give multiple glamour choices as compared to 1 model with color changes and different glows of the original relics.
