Thread: the "relic" and "anima" and whatever 4.0 version of it should not be powerful

I wouldn't mind if we saw a continuation of the anima weapon in 4.0 to be honest. A weapon that grows with us through the expansions would be pretty cool. Hard to justify it going from awesomeness at the end of HW to lameness at the start of Stormblood but I'm sure they could find a reason. I'd just like to know if I could turn my BLM staff into a RDM Sword at the first step of the quest. First step for anima had you farm fates for crystals, -or- turn the previous final relic into the astral/umbral nodes you needed. Don't know if that worked with -any- Zeta weapon, or if it -had- to be the one for the class you were getting the anima for.

At the end of the zodiac (2.0 relic) you try to awaken sentience in the weapon when you complete it. You pretty much dumped it on HW launch even after all that or blew it up to start the next one. I think they'll wipe the slate clean since it also works as a convenient excuse to not design anima weapons for the new jobs just like AST, DRK and MCH don't have zodiac weapons.
