Zodiac Weapon Questline vs Anima Weapon Questline - Your preference?

[Xlantaa]

Anima is far better. It is true that the third and fifth steps are long (well ,the third are no longer anymore), but with the exception of 2nd step, you can do the weapon without any class limitation, most steps of ARR relic lock in your class to progress. Also, you can take quest from other Anima relic while you doing one. Only the first step have RNG (last Step RNG only affects how many points you get per Umbrite), the last step is like the Alexandrite, but without the nightmare of the RNG making fail you like shit and losing lots of materia. And no gil expend on materia IV to have the perfect stats. Now you can have the stats you want with the same efford.
