4.25 Patch Notes are Up

I got a bad feeling about that XP loss stuff. I can see parties getting really toxic fast and the potential for griefing. Ahh well... what to do. That Dinosaur mount is nice looking. Hope it flies! That would be hilarious.

Is this actually even a Relic? It keeps being referred to as “Eureka Weapon”.

On one hand, ARR relics were called "Zodiac Weapons" and the HW ones "Animas." On the other hand, I'd fear for Square's creativity if it wasn't already for FFVIII and that Spirits Within movie. <_<

Point being: yeah. They're relic weapons and armor (I think?), but called Eureka gear, because of course it is. InB4 Yoshi says something like "Well I'm not calling it Thanalan Gear."

I guess that makes sense. I just was making sure this isn’t some POTD-esque Weapon is all.

The only weapons that were really called Relic were the few first stages of the ARR weapons. They became Zodiac weapons with the Relic weapons as base, but the name as used by the community continued to be used.

... you have got to be kidding. Their solution to the constant complaints about healers being severely overpowered in PvP was to buff White Mage. They really are clueless.

If they had just said outright that from here out they'll do the opposite of whatever well-warranted suggestions are made, people might not have believed them. This is far more effective.

I don't know what to think about the patch notes... Eureka sounds pretty new, with a kind of "exploration" feeling, like we're exploring a new land with new rules and with mysteries...
And at the same time, it just looks like a Relic 2.0 skin with Atmas, right ?

Well, we'll see that !

Yeah that's always bothered me a little. Only the first stages of ARR weapons are relics because they were using the word literally, they were old worn relics we found and restored. If people know the definition of the word, any purple-rarity weapons that followed were not relics. Like anima is just anima, it's a new item that was created, not a relic.

So yeah it's correct that the new weapons are not referred to as relics in the game and official notes, but they are what you think they are, upgradable weapons you work on across many patches which eventually catch up to the item level of raid weapons.

All you got to do is keep believing and it'll come true. x3

I'm fairly intrigued to say the least. First impression gives me a good feeling about it. Now, what looks good on paper may be absolutely terrible in execution. Here's hoping that's not the case though. As far as potential atmas are concerned...eh. I survived it twice, I can do it again.
