"A weapon’s soul attunement level will rise by a set amount determined by the activity being performed. This amount, however, may increase each time a certain period of time passes."

Um, is it me or does this sound like an artificial time gate? Almost like a faux currency cap. Like if after passing the weekly soldiery limit you still gained soldiery tomes but at 1/10th the rate.

Also I'm sorry to say that changing the stats on your Novus sounds exactly like turning in another sphere scroll with 75 more Alexandrite to grind out. Oh geez.

I am betting Nexus (isn't that a car brand? will be just another texture swap.

They didn't explicitly say that it changes form yet, so my guess is it just glows brighter as animus to novus.

However, the final form is zodiak, so there will be a transformation.

Rumors say this is the final form:



Here is a better view:

[Niota]

So, they're confirmed to be 115. Will we get increased stats? Or will it be like Atma where the stats were exactly the same as Zenith?

My guess is this.

From what I interpret, it's just that the amount of attunement gained from an activity will increase as time goes on, kinda like how housing prices devalue after a certain amount of time (might not be a great time to use that analogy now, but...). Thus, it'll be easier, say, a month from now, than it is the moment the patch comes out.

I really hope the novus/nexus restat allows to ONLY change the stats that are undesirable. Otherwise I wasted a LOT of gil adding what crit/det I could. My crit/det/acc bow might have to suffice if we have to redo an entire sphere scroll from scratch- Alexandrite, Materia, and all.... ::sigh:: fingers crossed.

[Canadane]

It's worded weird but I'm going to say the materia from your novus is transferred to a new sphere scroll to then be added to the nexus, but this also allows you to change materia around if you choose to do so.

This is what I've gathered from it.

So... it sounds like the Novus Weapons have to be 100% Spiritbonded?

[Azper]

Sounds like some glorified countdown process that'll steadily unlock itself, but certain things you do might marginally increase the speed at which it unlocks.

...I'm not sure how I feel about it, if that's the case. I guess I'll reserve judgement until we get more details in-game.

As for altering the stats, I kinda hope you can pick and choose the stats you remove versus totally wiping it clean. I'd rather take Spell Speed over Crit on mine now, but I don't want to sacrifice all those Det IVs I spent. X_X

[Numenor1379]

Given their talking about setting the Scroll stats to "i110 levels" for redoing the stats, I am fairly confident this upgrade to i115 IS bringing the corresponding stat increases. Which means HA weapons are about to be outdated for people who upgraded optimally (or even sorta optimally).

Could be, but I don't think it will work like spiritbonding currently does... otherwise, you'd have to farm second coil with it...basically just doing the trash in turn 7 and turn 8 forever and ever until it's bound...

Odds are, there is some special fate or some kind of thing you spawn, and go kill and it gives you some kind of bond/points. Like for instance, maybe you use your weapon on hunting mobs.
