Apparently someone in the JPN servers has completed their Animus relic!

[Blood-Aki]

As expected, There is always somone who forgoes any sleep or any other activity so they can get what they want. I actually expected 3 days, But this is close enough.

[Reilyn]

It wasn't meant to be completed in 4 days, it was meant as filler from now to 3.2, and in 3.2 there will be a new step people can do until 3.3, ect. Relic is one of the few things in FF14 that is slightly less casual, and everyone took to the forums to form a circlejerk, stomp their feet, and try to threaten SE by unsubbing. Why can't people be ok with their being one or two things in the game that is slightly less casual?

The ironic part of this statement is the fact relic quest has been casual friendly to this day after 2.0.

For whatever reason (likely casuals who think killing hard mode, or extreme primals were too hard), we no longer had primal fights as a requirement for anything involving the relic. Ever since then, we never had a skill wall to climb for relic. Just chores. And now you want to say these are 'less casual'? The relic since atma was made for casuals who'd rather do something mind-numbing instead of challenging.

I'll make a separate thread of this suggestion in time, but people who actually climb the skill walls that is alex savage, or at least thordan ex in this game should be rewarded heavily in progress to their relic, while the casuals who aren't lucky enough to have a static, or suck too bad to do savage can do their chore grind.

All right but I heard there were five steps?
Unless there are five steps TOTAL and I just got confused, I wanna see the next step.

While it could be just one individual going to extremes to get this relic so quickly it could be that there were several different people playing on this one character to complete this grind. Swapping out and taking breaks while the character itself was working almost non stop since the patch.

JP player completes relic. Meanwhile NA player complains on Reddit and Official Forums.

Remember some players have their reasons for having free time and if they enjoy spending it on the game, that's fine.

You should look up some articles about Japan's problem with shut-ins, and see that it is very much the opposite of "fine". I am just showing concern for the well-being for anyone who would do this to themselves. It is not jealousy or judgment; this frightens me.

That poor b*stard. Give that person a saline-drip, stat! And possibly a psychologist, because that's one REALLY unhealthy way to go about gaming XD

Its not unhealthy. That person could be younger than you for all you know and have school on the weekdays.

Either way they earned something faster than you and its unhealthy? Lol nah bruh

I dunno, it's kind of a gray area. People have been known to literally binge-play themselves to death. That's not a problem unique to the Japanese though.
