    Oh! So you mean they made new content? That's called progression. Even then, the Shiva weapons are outdone by relic weapons, FCoB, and Poetics weapons. They are only i115 so they are on par with SCoB weapons so they aren't all that good. Sure some have better secondary stats, some don't. But I wouldn't exactly rely on them for later turns of the FCoB. So, like Levi EX, they are mainly for glamour.

    A reliably-obtained i115 weapon is incredibly valuable to players right now - considering the alternatives require Turn 9+ clears (A small fragment of the population of each server at most) or heavy progression into Relic weapons (Which isn't challenging, but requires a crapload of time to reach i115 per job, so good luck using that to gear alts). If you're past that point, good for you - you're honestly in the 1%.

    Levi EX weapons though? You can guarantee yourself an i100+ weapon at this point with even less effort thanks to Syrcus Tower, nevermind Ramuh and Shiva drops now. And while I don't mind enhanced Levi weapons being rare for the sake of having rare weapons (See also the effort that goes into a Garuda/Ifrit/Titan/Mog enhanced weapon), it seems really awkward that Shiva all of a sudden gets her enhancement basically as a guarantee. I don't entirely mind it... it's just really out of place
    (Speaking of which where the hell's the enhanced Ramuh weapons at?)
