3.15 arrives December 16.

If they manage to somehow surprise us with unique trials like Chimera and Hydra. I will be thrilled, if it's copy and paste of the original relic from base to zeta then I'mma be severely disappointed.

This, pretty please? /grovel m(_ _m)~

[Maero]

If I'm currently working towards my Zeta right now, can it be used to skip the first step of the Anima later on? I'm working on NIN Animus right now and everything else is an Atma.

Well they had stated that those who do not have Zeta by the time Anima is out, they would be better off just starting at the Anima stage, in other words doing Zeta is sort of a waste of time

Also why have they been so hush hush about this patch, barely even mention of Relic, usually more info is given
I guess it might be another really bad rng thing like previous one and they do not want early dissapointment? lol

I'm picturing the first step being the most fun with unique trials but then that's the one we skip with a Zeta... Well, that's assuming any of the steps are fun.

nah i think the 1 step will be the most boring one , travel here there , kill some mobs , maybe some fate (yawn) , or dungeon and then procced to enhance it on the 2nd step with new cool trial (chimera's return , and Hydra Corp :P )

A trial with the primal Anima would be amazing, and it would explain the delay for the Anima weapon. Otherwise if it's an exact copy and paste from the 2.x relics I have to wonder why it was delayed until now.

[Kallera]

I didn't like the grind of the relic's early stages, and got discouraged at the alexandrite/materia step. Should i even bother with this relic, knowing they aren't going to be anything special?

I'm not saying this to be a downer, its just. Nothing is selling me on trying relic again.

This seems like it'd be the coolest case scenario. Especially considering we only received one trial this patch. (Which was just the more difficult version of Singularity Reactor) That being said, the coffin at the end of Void Ark sure seemed big enough to contain Anima, though that has nothing to do with the relic or Anima being a part of one of these five steps.

No preliminary patch notes?

Well it's either that, OR it requires items in one of the stages. If they release any info at all over item stages it would just instantly and absolutely just destroy that market and make prices like 500% of what they are now.
