Relics!!!

[ManuelBravo]

What in the hell? Completely disregarding this whole "people who did the relic grind are better at the game!!!!" because it's not hard, it's a time sink. I've done both of them (well, I haven't finished my anima yet). You ignored the second part of what I said - why would you want to do both relics solely to switch between different kinds of content? That's just not good game design Amalon wanted the zodiac quest line to be continued, it WAS, by allowing you to use it towards the anima.

Ok taking it out of context, I find t hat people who grind relics have better understanding from my experience. There are some that still not 100% but are more likely to listen and follow mechanics. As part of your second statement - Why would you want to do both relics solely to switch between different kinds of content? once again its' to skip the mindless fate grinding of farming crystals and OBTAIN a better understanding of the job mechanics. Even now as mentor, I have come across various players who refuse to listen to mechanics and really cause others to rage quit. For example a healer AST, who only fate grinds and refuses to use Cards, WHM who rather DPS and keep Cleric stance up and ignore the fact that they are healers. When asked why they say, this is how I play. BY THEIR OWN CHOICE, then complain that they get voted off. In no way, shape, or form Do I claim that RELIC users are the better players just because they have a Relic weapon, I do however claim that do to their patience, conviction, and various type of grinding they have come to understand mechanics a bit better and are willing to take advice. In other words they see both sides of the coin. There are some raid wep users that are really good and can outclass relic users. Once again they have put in hard work in a different way and usually have the relic weapon as well. Everyone has a style they play, some shine more than others. As for the Zodiac brave story how far can you really go into it? Maybe do it like FFXI and see one of the spirit that owned the weapon? Then Add a Myth type? Maybe in the future where you need minimum a title for a type of God weapon were RELIC is suppose to be the strongest weapon in the game? Who knows. Relics were designed so players can alter the stats to their style. Same reason why I rather do relics, achievements, learning or fine tuning my character cool down rotations. or the usual bragging rights.
