the "relic" and "anima" and whatever 4.0 version of it should not be powerful

[Taika]

I think a relic weapon should absolutely be powerful, but instead of casual grinds they should be awarded for clearing all the content in the game (on the job it's being awarded for). I'd like them to be more rare and epic, something to be an ultimate goal in this game.

I think this would be a good idea.

You do know this is a casual game.

No, this is a dumb idea.

Reasons, the expansion comes out on June 21st with early access four to five days prior. By June 21st, there's gonna be the same song and dance from when Heavensward was released. People crying about how crafted gear that will given out through quest was better than their relic/savage weapon. Even before you hit level cap. So at this point what does it matter...

See, I would have agreed with you before during ARR as the weapons we built were supposed to be legendaries their own right. But since doing the Anima I don't mind so much now, and would be great if they can just keep the story of the weapon and the Anima rolling. I like the idea of the Anima being the weapon that could always be by your side, even if not always as strong as weapons of primals or ancients. It could be a really deep well for lore and character development. I'd trade that for being the most powerful.
