Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIV! (Zodiac Weapons)

[RegentP]

will the Zodiac weapons allow us to pick the glow style and color? such as the animus is has a white glow, can we dye the glow?

[MomoeKita]

Will we ever get multiple upgrade paths for the Zodiac weapons so we can specialize into different stats or appearances?

[Phafi]

Will we see stats tied to Zodiac Weapons which cannot be found on other weapons in the future?

For example, +"#" auto attack per round, enhancing effects or reducing recasts of job abilities, reducing MP/TP costs, raised TP Cap, new job abilities/spells?

While I can appreciate the idea of longevity when looking at the "saga" of the Zodiac weapons; I agree with one poster, who questioned the current investment necessary to progress from the Zenith to the Atma stages of the quest line; specifically, how quickly can we expect you to increase the drop rate of the Atma from FATES in the zones in which they are currently available? Its disconcerting to find that you lower the difficulty when adding new content to the saga's quest line (in addition to eventually lowering the required number of Mythology tomestones necessary to progress into the Animus stage); if the Zodiac weapons are expected to run a significant length of time, why not leave the requirements in place... it would fit with the concept of a "saga" and give new players, as well as those who have yet to experience the Zodiac quest line, something significant to work towards.

I don't like the itemization of the stats on my Relic/Atma/Animus. Is there a reason for me to progress further into the Zodiac Quest if I know that weapon's stats will just get stronger in the stats that I don't like?

[Gormogon]

So far since the relic weapon has been introduced the progression of the weapon has been increasing the ilvl, stat, and glow of the weapon. Now with the zodiac weapon being stat customization any plans to introduce enhance?

[Seif]

Will we get more long-term quests like relic reborn? That quest was the best so far!

[Daioh]

At what stage will our relic change form and will they match the new Artifact Equipment to be released?
As a follow up when will the new Artifact Equipment be released?

[Daioh]

Would it be possible to add special effects that only the upgraded relic would have? E.g.: "Dragoons appearing as if they had wings"
Whether it would appear permanently or only when using certain skills is up to you.

Will the weapons be (one day) equal or even better than the raid weapons and thus have a right to cost so much time and effort?
