Besides, I fail to see a reason why an alt class would require i210. You're also failing to see that each upgrade for the relic weapon is a far larger grind than most other weapons, thus invalidating the claim that the weapon has a lot of longevity. It would be similar to claiming that the Law weapon had a lot of longevity due to the Esoteric weapon, they're both tomestone weapons, right? The only difference with the Anima is that you have to give up your older weapon.
