I think it’s time for us to break up….

Yea one of the nice thing about FFXI was the relic you got in that game literly lasted you for 7-8 years so it was well worth the effort.

The reason why it lasted so long is because the development team did not want to progress any further or add in newer weapons etc.

Yeah, because the job level cap was 50 for a long time. Increase to Level Cap saw modifications to Relic after Empyrean stole the spotlight.

The biggest difference though was in ffxi it took 2 years to get enough currency to buy a stage 5 relic not two months. If ffxiv anima was as hard as ffxi's mythic, youd be beating alex savage 600 times, not alex normal. FFXI Mythic weapon required you to clear all the other endgame things multiple times like nyzul tower, einherjar, and salvage. Only the most dedicated/hardcore could get them.

YESSSSS! I retired FFXI in November 2011 when I got word that the game will no longer be accessed on Xbox 360. I retired with Corsair main with Death Penalty. NIN also had Relic and Empyrean. Took me three years to get NIN relic when the Linkshell leader let me get a shot at it since I was the /main assist for them from start to finish.
