Our poor Anima weapons.

[Radacci]

Also we all really know why we made this weapons: glow-stick]

fixed.
relic is always inferior to raid weps, until mini patch before ilv increase (which is usually only last a month, if you can be bothered to rush to get it quick enough to enjoy it)
it's a huge waste of time, with little benefit; unless you do it casually and only gather tomes to buy mats, from daily roulette bonuses/beast tribe missions/etc; but if you do it casually, it's already outdated by the time you get it, because they added a new primal, that you can get higher ilv weps, from, in 10min.
You know that 240 relic step ppl worked so hard on? ya now i have all ilv 255 sophia weps, except 1. and it took less time to get all of them, than 1 relic wep. hopefully soon i'll get 270 wep from A12S (making next relic step, obsolete, before it was released)

• Bast Case Scenario: They give the Anima arc some closure that involves sentient weapons for all and a way to somehow separate the soul form the weapon so that we can trade in for 4.0. In that case I'd expect a Homunculus-type NPC or a minion (or 13 like the Yo-kai Watch event in reverse). Given the ability to get more than one Anima weapon I'd say either different designs for the Minions or making up to 13 homunculi vessels (one for each job) are likely.

i like this idea, but i think it would just be that elemental we see in CS, which is same for all weps; to much time/effort/cost to make a different homunculi for each wep.
buuut, it's kind of the soul that gives power to the wep, so if you remove it, you turn the wep into a replica, basically.
