Some positive 5.25 Feedback :)

[Araxes]

Some things i personally like since my tastes seem to completely differ from the majority.

Im glad that the new Relic seems to be based around a Story, not a Grind (measuring in time played). People that are at Work half the day and have to care for a family afterwards are finaly able to get a relic without it being completely outdated at the time they get it.

The Music! Im staying at the new area all the time right now simply because i love the zonemusic. I really Hope Soken can keep this exceptional high Level of Music up.

The new Extreme: I think this IS Part of the whole Relicbuisiness since it drops the relicarmor. People just seem to not aknowledge it as such.

Overall im quite Happy with what i got for this specific patch, not talking about other patches here.


Thank you, stay healthy and have a good day.

I agree with everything you said but be aware it is the calm before the storm. You can expect the next relic step to have a grind attached.

Probably, i just hope its not exclusively tied to a horrible instanced Area with no other way to obtain it.

I enjoyed it, whilst the instance was short and I think having a instance to repeat might have been nice for the other weapons. I am not so inclined to complain either. And I agree the grind is the Ex fight. But yeah, future relic stuff. I expect will be grindy. IMO Eureka was a step in the right direction, but I hated the glorified FATE farming. I am more interested in grinding fights because face rolling ad infinitum is dull. I don’t mind putting the work in.

My suggestion for Eureka was to put the NM’s behind a leve like system, you can lock it to the party spawning it and balance each fight to proper fight mechanics, rather than a train of people to face roll on a train of FATEs. Having an EX fight is nice in that you have an interesting fight with mechanics than boring face rolls or crappy RNG (which is where relic has always lost me).

So whilst maybe it was easier than I might have expected the first phase, it has been the most preferable first phase in a long time.

Highest possible praise: "It's not Eureka!"

I doubt it will be too much. The recent interview Yoshi-P gave it sounds like the whole thing is going to be more casual orientated than past relic grinds.

Final Fantasy XIV’s Save the Queen Will Be “Much Less Demanding” Than Previous Relic Weapons

“The Save the Queen content in Patch 5.25 should not feel like time-to-win content where you must put in many hours of play to succeed. You should be able to obtain the first weapon just by enjoying the quest’s storyline.

Now when it comes to enhancing the weapon, a bit more work will be required, but it is still much less demanding when compared to past equipment enhancement quests. The next chapter in this quest series that will release on or after Patch 5.35 will feature new ways to enhance your equipment, but players will have different options as to how to strengthen their weapons. We hope this will create a weapon enhancement process that is more casually accessible. Please look forward to it!”

At least they stopped ruining pvp, am i right? hehehe

I wish i had eureka over fishing simulator.

[BunniEclair]

The Gangos music amazing and I can’t wait for the scroll!

[Infindox]

+ Music in Gangos is fantastic !!
+ I like the relic is tied back into the story again. Felt kinda.... Eh with Eureka. Yeah there was an Eureka story but the weapon's purpose there felt tacked on, unlike ARR's and especially the Anima.
+ The Instance was fun
+ I'm somewhat interested in where the plot is going.

I dont think they could ruin it any further.

Really just hoping i can obtain it by doing pvp like the lightfarm for the HW Relic. Did most of it in pvp, sure it was slower than doing savage but i enjoyed pvp much more than pve back then
