Guessing part of 3.1 relic would be including Airship (Island's) ??

My biggest guess going to be requiring FC or friends Airship to travel to certian island for certian drops around the islands (captured)

I hope so, I prefer it be related to newer content, but I have a feeling they're going to have us run old dungeons again and again, or FATEs. =l

yeah like Pharos HM :P

I think having your relic progression locked behind an airship 'raid' type thing with your FC would be annoying... not least for those who have very small FC's (like me!), or for people who aren't in one at all!

Relic grinding to date has been something you could complete solo. Sure, you could speed things up by light grinding or doing dungeon runs with a premade group, but otherwise DF could get the job done just fine. So I'd hope it stays that way.

But then, there are all sorts of terrible things they could have planned for us, so who knows... (Relic Scrips, 450 per week, please look forward to it!)

You know you will be able to run those airship exploration without a FC... in Ishgard you'll be able to get a team together and go do it. So even if it is based off that it'll help. But I kinda agree... I feel it will be more FATEs and more running old content. I wouldn't mind a special set of trials to do to be honest.

Looks like I read the OP wrong somehow. But Airship exploration can be done even if you aren't part of an FC, so that much be much better than locking it behind FC airships.
