Sorry Yoshi, but if you award the best weapon in the game by winning the lottery...

I unsubbed, and given Yoshi's reply don't see myself resubbing anytime soon. After a long development cycle, my anima was finally BiS. I know that would only last until Stormblood, and accepted that from the start. I still considered it worth it. And then after just nine days it was reduced from BiS to "very good". You know what else was/is very good? Triad/Kinna/Script weapons. And those were/are 1000x easier to obtain. I didn't make an anima for "very good". I feel betrayed, I wasted soooooo much time on the anima grind under false pretenses.

I don't care about others getting weapons. I'm glad the anima steps were nerfed. I could have waited if I wanted. If the Diadem dropped i270 or even i275 weapons I would have been fine with it. Crazy RNG would have joined skill and time as ways to get a top weapon. Instead, it replaced them. And Yoshi-P sees nothing wrong with it.

People are actually quitting the whole game over a mathematically proven drop rate of 0.1%, over a fight that spawns once every 3-6 hours...Yeah, nah, you'll all be back Enjoy the break!

People are upset not because of what this is, but because of the precedent it sets.

THIS. Exactly this. I'm going to requote it so hopefully no one else strolls in and completely misses the point for the sake of snark.

I understand OPs position, altho I myself won't unsub. If nothing else I've promised my friends and FC to be around until the expansion and trying it out. But if things keep going downhill in Stormblood, then I don't see myself lasting until another expansion.

That would be...





...a chance of getting something you want or is useful to you at an incredibly rare rate. Like 3 lines on WTs. Hitting the Jumbo Cactpot for 1,000,000 MGP. Or sink the time and get something far more feasible.

Yoshida says Anima is still the strongest weapon :^)

Which shows how little he knows of his own game. It takes a *really* bad i280 to not beat your relic.

And some of them beat the Alex savage weapons without a single secondary stat. Not even sure that can happen, but it's there.

And how eager are you for this to become the norm for all future content ?

I understand the frustration, as someone who has A12S on farm and has his Relic, yeah it sucks that someone could /possibly/ get it but let me break it down for you. After 1000 Diadem runs, your chances of getting this weapon is 65%, or 750 hours of playtime. If we take Balmung's population of 13k, that means only 13 people will have the weapon. And, with the permission of sounding like an ass, the chances of someone getting this weapon AND knowing how to utilise it properly are just as rare, so while yeah I could be mad over it, I don't need to be because it's a weapon that will barely exist and has no threat to me even if the average player gets it.

EDIT: And not all 13k people play, and even less might do the Diadem, so the amount of players getting this weapon is EVEN LOWER.

Especially when the worst part of it has nothing to do with the rewards but the laziness in design.
