StormBlood Relic?

Relics may be something included in the mix, but on the side, same for armor potentially. Going by how it is explained it is likely to be open world, no instance, that people came and go from over a greater span of time, with included content actually designed for the community to congregate and zerg, rather than the situation we have with current hunts. Maybe think all the things people kept asking for, like hard-hitting field mobs and actual sense of danger, and it all put into this new area. Possibly with more than one zone.

Isn't that the the Diadem?

Biggest difference is between it being instanced and its own area. Also, Diadem required you being in a large group, Eureka will likely feature solo progression with added options to gather up a group and do other things. This, as they have hinted at, will span beyond just a big bad zerg, and include other functions that require teamwork and co-operation.

So it's FC only content then? As there is little chance of this games community co-operating with content open to the whole player base

In all honestly... It's most likely going to be over glorified FATEs disguised as something else so that it doesn't feel like we're doing FATEs. That's how I view hunts. I see them as FATEs without the FATE timer and circle.

I mean, that one singular part of it that includes things needing multiple people? You seem to keep missing that that will just be one facet of the features detailed so far. And its easy to get the community to gather up to zerg something when its in regards to progression or even just tat. Hunts were never designed for an alliance's worth of people to show to nuke, yet despite that there is an entire unwritten mandate by the community regarding calls and timers and gathering as many people as possible that if ignored risk one being ostracized.

To be fair with hunts waiting for people to gather is normally just good manners, especially as the rewards can be shared out pretty widely.

Exactly, and Hunts are nowhere near seen as an absolute necessity, but come the point when they are relevant enough there is a large enough gathering. This then all falls down to how useful or necessary that part of Eureka is seen.
