Crazy Relic User FEARS the expansion. Are they going to be useless?

Expansion will have a 'new' type of relic. Devs have stated zodiac line will end with 3.0. Just as coil will not continue, but l be replaced by alexander, so shall zodiac be replaced by (insert 3.0 relic equivalent).

If you like the relic system, there will simply be a new version of it to start over with. Although yoshi stated there will be some type of bonus or head start on the new relics for having a zodiac. So there's that.

Can you please show me where the dev said this? Also I think Riardon has it correct. The 2.0 relic ended in 2.4 and the new one/continuation started, ie the new look/name, it was stated in an interview with yoshi that the relic quest will continue in 3.1. SE stand to lose a lot more current player than new players it will turn off at the current relic quest, there is a reason why there are alway different weapon choice to pick from. Relic isn't for everyone. Anther thing to look at is the names of the weapons and their past history in the FF franchise will tell you these weapons aren't going to stay as lvl 50 weapons. I'm a 1.0 legacy player playing from January 2011 till now and I'll drop this game asap if I was to be told my weapons that I have been working on is just a galmore item now, I will more than leave this game I will not buy anther SE game again.

This is correct. The vagueness of this comment is why there is so much speculation abound. Some have asserted that this means that the relic, in its current form will continue in 3.1 and will upgrade to a lvl 60 weapon. Then again, there are others whom say that the relic quest line will begin anew at this point. Where all players will get a fresh start on the expansion level weapon.

Maybe the bonus could be to keep our customized stats and the new one is getting fixed stats with correct weight like it was the case for the regular relic at beginning?
