Should Relic be released the first Patch after Expansion?

[Nezerius]

It should have definitely been released in 4.1.

They were likely planning to have it in 4.1 or 4.15, but had already said that it'd be heavily involved with Eureka, in interviews prior to the release of Stormblood.

Unfortunately, the delay of Eureka also meant no relic weapon in 4.1(5).
