"Mastering the Game," is subjective and, to be frank, a very significant goal, when you consider every single facet the game has to it. PvP, Mini Games like Verminion or Gold Saucer, Raids/Dungeons, Achievements, Crafting, etc... Relic/Anima weapons can indeed be included in that list. Considering all the work put into obtaining the Relic/Anima weapons I cannot help but feel that they're pretty underpowered for glorified glamour sticks. Then again, I -can- appreciate SE not wanting people to feel forced to get them. As a glorified glamour stick, I wish they weren't quite as difficult to acquire. Its interesting content aside from the grinds.

I was one of the people who figured they'd never get one or bother trying. Then I found myself bored and went, "Hey, why not?" Its not so much hard as annoying due to the grinds. Considering I'm not even sure I'll main BLM come Stormblood, it may even be a waste of time since that's the weapon I'm working on. If I go RDM or SMN or something else, then this glorified glamour stick is pretty useless.
