Anima Weapons

[Zophar]

Here's the thing.... effort vs reward has absolutely ZIP to do with whether or not an item is considered mandatory or not. The fact is, the effort vs reward on this is skewed, by alot. Not just a little. Yes, it is currently the best you can get (or one of the best? Not sure as I'm still rocking my 180s). But the sheer amount of time required to complete this is astronomically higher than any other means of attaining a similar weapon. And that isn't even taking into consideration the cost. There's grinding, and there's this. It needs to be adjusted. It can STILL be difficult, time consuming, expensive and grindy without requiring 400 dungeon runs.

I think you are sorely underestimating the time and difficulty of beating AS4, let alone having it on farm status. How many people have you met that have downed it? I think the difficulty of obtaining a 210 Gordian/Eso weapon is well balanced with the time and effort required to finish a Anima.
