Eureka is soooo good for capping mendacity.

Honestly, while it is nice, it also shows a huge design flaw of the content. Eureka pretty much kills any other form of obtaining Tomestones, truth of the matter becomes what's the point of introducing the 3rd Dungeon in 4.3 if it doesn't even assist in obtaining tomestones quicker?

At least with the 24man raid the gear should be +10 IL higher than what you can get in Eureka unless they update it which they most likely will.

In terms of time investment however, everyone obtains a reward for participating in the Boss fights, with 24man raids a limited amount of gear drops and you are restricted to 1 piece a week, compared to Eureka which you are free to obtain it all and at a right which honestly isn't to excessive compared to the time to obtain gear through RNG.

It's called - ok, bear with me here - it's called story, and it's one of the things this game kind of prides itself on. Also in case you haven't noticed, a lot of people don't rightly care for Eureka, so no, any content outside of it wasn't made redundant by its introduction.

To be fair the "mother of all grinds" can be done in a few days if you actually put effort into it.

Ya, I'm aware. I'm on my third Anemos weapon with several dyable pieces of gear by now. And at least two rooms' worth of Sharlyan furniture. Admittedly I have to wonder if we're not looking at it already nerfed, in a sense, because of how long delayed it was. I suspect the next steps will be much more time consuming.

I don't think that's the case - Compare the effort to get the first weapon to the effort for the luminous crystals + 10 (unsync'd) dungeons. The weapon is currently at the tomestone phase, not the raid weapon phase. The big grind should come later.

The main difference is that the step essentially nerfs itself, because you don't start have to start your elemental level over for every weapon. That makes it easier to get additional weapons. For the Anima steps, SE had to do that manually (although being able to work on multiple stages at once did make it easier over time as well).

As for the topic, well... I can't comment. I don't play Eureka >_>

That'll depend on the stats of the 24-man gear. When comparing the two, it's i360 vs i350+120 secondary stats, since the Eureka gear has 3 extra materia slots.

And the upgrade to it will likely happen in 4.35, about 5-6 weeks after 4.3.
