"Fun comes first"

[Rubieus]

For me it isn't that the relic is grindy, it is that the relic is just rehashed content. Where is the uniqueness? Where is the excitement of exploration and adventuring?

Why can't they add things like "For a drg, you need to do X" and "For monk, you need to do y" have some personal challenges like "While in this dungeon, with this weapon equipped, you can't use these abilities." or "Defeat these primals with this weapon but no other gear on" .. really anything you might be able to think of, would be better than "Your weapon's soul needs to fight strong monsters to get stronger. Go do these dungeons.." Also, what NPC doesn't like Gil? Seriously no wonder why she has no customers.. >.>

Spoiler: Also.. (not exactly on point) Rowena wants me to help her make a blueprint for the Anima weapon so she can sell them.. Sell my weapon! >.> and all I get is a free weapon? bah! I did all the godsdamned work! I want a bigger cut or no dice.
