Relic's vs Mythic Weapons - Me thinking too much.

[Atomnium]

Always considered these sorts of weapons (Relic/Mythic/Empy) to be more about the humongous time syncs and need to have others participate to help one another get competions.

Armageddon wasn't a hard gun to get.. was just a tedious grind to get it.

Agreeing on empy weapons, it was mostly a long and crazy grind, starting from little magian trial to the final form of the said weapon (could actually look alike the current ffxiv relic's weapons but empy were WAY stronger).

Comparison to Relics and Mythics from ffxi is a big no no there though, endless grinds and gils titanic-sink was just a part of the problem and especially when considering the CRAZY amount of ingame goals being mandatory for a mythic weapon, ingame goals that required to go past your player's skill and/or your motivation's limits.

Could you be as proud of yourself about your Mythic weapon from ffxi and a Relic in ffxiv? I don't think so, impossible.

Personally I'd rather see them do something with Mythic aside from making them time-sensitive and disposable. Even if it was just opening materia slots on them as content progressed to get a little more life out of them.
