Will Eureka remain relevant?

[Jennah]

Stated as if it were ever relevant.
Then again, if they make it easily soloable, or just let you just buy the relevant stuff for poetics - maybe I'd convince myself to finish Pagos in 5.2 or something?

Everyone who did Eureka as it was released was able to level in chunks.

If you're just now starting there as a beginner, you have to climb a whole 60 levels and that's very daunting.

Once that's done, farming NMs a bit in each eureka gets you a new relic quite quickly.

Speaking of Eureka, it's implied that the Eureka we visit is not the TRUE Eureka, but is the Island of Val named "Eureka" by the explorers. The real Eureka is beneath the Crystal Tower. I wouldn't be surprised if it were an MSQ dungeon (or an Expert Dungeon). I was bummed that at no point in Eureka does the actual theme song from FF3's Eureka ever play (despite there being a few riffs when you enter an NM fight or defeat an NM).

The TRUE Eureka is actually [SPOILERS]

a Primal (Or rather, an Eikon because it existed back when the Allagans were around). The whole thing about the Island is that it was secretly set up specifically to drain the Aether from Eureka so that it would eventually die because fighting it was a no-go due to the fact that it's literally a Primal that exists purely to manufacture weapons of extreme power (That are, themselves, Primals, such as Odin's blade, Zantetsuken)

Then, due to misinformation, rumours where that there was a pile of weapons buried underneath the Crystal Tower. When in fact, the situation was that Eureka, a Primal capable of manufacturing weapons of great power, was buried under the Isle of Val with Aetherytes being set up in order to maintain a barrier to not only contain the Primal, but to drain it of its Aether.

Which is literally the entire point of the Baldesion Arsenal - Since Ejika ends up becoming tempered by Eureka (Partially because of his own issue with people like Krile having the Echo that aids them in their field, while he has needed to work hard for everything he has) and we have to go and save him (As well as ensure that Eureka cannot temper anyone else so as to undo the barrier that is killing it)

I feel like it works as a form of content at the very least.
One thing I've always kind of glared at about this game is how there's a billion level 50 dungeons and they're all pretty much equally as difficult as any of the higher level 4-player dungeons (maybe only excluding the very newest one sort of), but they give less exp outside of duty roulette...

I mean sure, you do want people learning how to play their job with all their abilities, but if people want to learn to play, they'll make the time to learn, and if they don't, they won't..

Evening out the exp gain on old content would really open things up in terms of variety on a horizontal level, while keeping the vertical cap structure firmly intact.

I'm not sure there's a good reason why they couldn't have Eureka give out normal game exp/tomes that are relevant to current content or at least like, 80% efficient for the completion of objectives.

At the very least there will probably be a discord of people doing it on a set day of the week like they do for Diadem.

[Payadopa]

Only did Anemos so far (lvl13 now) but I'm surprised that I really like it after everyone and their Lala said it's horrible. I get that XI vibe, people talk to each other and the overworld is finally dangerous. It's great and I hope they expand on it.

Uhmmm, Eureka is the fastest way to cap your weekly tomes.

If you're going for standard relic completion then Eureka should be manageable. Other people will still be running the content (albeit even far less) but a small eureka instance generally has around 12-20 people. Since the NM's scale as long as you work together to spawn them it should be a non issue. Even then leveling off equal sized mobs isn't too bad but a nm psawn party will make life easier.

However if you're trying to do BA as well you may have issues. It'll prob stay in the realm of Diadem where people will actively use discord to make parties to go into it, but BA is an absolute hassle to organize since it relies on 56 for a normal clear run. Some groups do special ops where it ends up being only 32 people but those runs rely on everyone having full +2 gear and high dps.

TL;DR The demand for easy cool glamour will bring people back to Eureka but attempting content like BA will be much harder to do without joining a specific discord for your server.

Can’t speak for other data centre, but in EU light/Zodiark, it is quite dead If you just start doing it. You will need some luck to find a party to carry you for Fate farming. There are still player doing ARR and HW relic, but those are different story as those are mostly soloable or can easily run through it with DF
