Completely agree with what you said and even the part I'm quoting, but I'm still going to nitpick this for one reason. I've never seen the appeal in relics for either relic through Zeta or Anima and subsequently just never done them either.

However, they did say they understood the backlash and that some of the things they tuned was too much, as far as my sources go anyway (and they are all from memory by now). So if those sources (and subsequently, my memory) are worth any credit at all, that's basically acknowledging there has been feedback, that they understood the feedback but decided to toss it all in the bin instead. I'm aware that also means they never directly stated they were changing it, but getting feedback like that on its own and responding to it in such manner should be indication enough and a company shouldn't be leading on their customers like a bunch of teenagers wanting to get it on.
Now if anyone can directly confirm this for me, I'd be both very grateful and very flabbergasted for the farce that is going on now.
