Anima Weapons. Putting things into perspective.

[Ibi]

Can you link where most people don't have one, almost everyone I run into on that tier has one. I have 2.5 of them without much effort, multiple people in my FC have 2-3 of them.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to query the Lodestone for achievements, so no, I can't provide anything empirical.

But to counter your anecdotal evidence with my own anecdotal evidence, almost no one I run into has one, and the majority of people in my FC haven't completed even one (and I don't think anyone's finished multiples).

Edit: Closest I can find to actual evidence is this Straw Poll, which suggests that only 45% of players responded even intended to complete one on a casual basis.

I suspect people were directed to the poll via either reddit or the official forums, which likely means they're already a less casual subset of the player base than any random slice would be, meaning they're probably also more likely than your average player to work on something that requires a time commitment on the scale of the anima weapons. But that's just speculation on my part.
