Relics may be required for Crystal Tower

In today's post about the Q&A at TGS they posted

Q. You mentioned that in patch 2.1 there will be item level requirements for accessing content, but what will the requirement be for Crystal Tower?
A. We don’t plan on making it as high as the Binding Coil of Bahamut. We’re thinking about having a relic weapon be required.

What are your thoughts on this? If Crystal Tower is suppose to be for the casuals will this make them not be able to queue for it, since a lot of them have trouble getting their relic?

Personally I think its a good requirement showing you put forth some effort in your character.

Thoughts on this?

I imagine Crystal Tower will have an average iLv requirement of 70, with a Relic (iLv80) simply being a fast way to boost your average iLv and met that requirement.

Sotek beat me to it.

Frankly, getting relics right now can't possibly get more casual. Kill all the primals and then do 9 runs of CM isn't very difficult (lag notwithstanding)

Considering they also mentioned they will be nerfing the current Titan fight with the release of the Extreme fights then it shouldn't be all that difficult of a task for most people.

[EmSix]

I can only see this as a good thing.

To the OP, can you post any proof saying that crystal tower is for the casual? My understanding was that the difficulty level was going to define how casual or serious the raid would be.

I imagine they will nerf some of it, since the CT is supposed to be for casuals, right now many casuals are having a hard time with Titan. So I would imagine Titan will becoma able to be done by a decent DF group.

People are saying "Casual" because of the revelation that CT difficulty was lessened to make it available to Duty Finder. However, the raid will be as difficult and likely more difficult than Titan.

What is translated below says "more casual". Since casual and hardcore is subjective, does this mean Yoshi-P thinks coil is casual to him?

Q. How are the Binding Coil of Bahamut and Crystal Tower different?
A. Even with the release of patch 2.1, the Binding Coil of Bahamut will be the hardest content in the game. The Crystal Tower will be more casual, as it can also be accessed via the Duty Finder.

I remember Yoshi P mentioning it in either a live letter or an interview. It was delayed because they wanted to adjust the difficulty so it could be accomplished via duty finder. I am not motivated enough to find the quote, forgive me. Casual I suppose is a term that may get thrown around a bit too much given how subjective its definition can be. So lets just say they wanted it to be able to be done using DF.
