Atma Grind Needs Some Changes...

[Aldracity]

I wish Atmas would just start dropping from FATEs once you have the quest, even if you don't have a Zenith weapon equipped. I could be leveling other classes doing FATEs while at the same time having a chance to get an Atma, at least if I'm not lucky, I'd still be getting some XP.

Mostly this. I'm ok with running around in circles, spamming FATEs...but I'd like to get more out of the actual grindfest instead of just a pile of GC seals I can barely use.

Or, more specifically: The fatal problem with Atmas is that there is no sense of achievement whatsoever up until the Atma actually drops. I am literally wasting time, burning through Gil to keep up with equipment repair costs, and the FATEs themselves are even wasting your Challenge log because of the EXP bonuses!

The other steps are long, but at least there's a sense of progress there.

Of course, the other solutions could be to either make GC Seals more valuable during the endgame, or else generate a complete other currency/resource for that same purpose.
