    Going off past trends, relic generally lands on x.x5 patch, so 4.15 would have fallen into the trend and made sense. 2.2 brought Second Coil as well as patch 3.2 bringing Midas. I would have thought that 4.2 would be the next raid tier.

    Basically, we're going to be overdue for relic, if going by Heavensward.
    Patch 3.15 relic quest added.
    Patch 3.25 relic quest.
    Patch 3.45 relic quests.

    They said the intended release was 4.15 but they couldn't finish the implementation. 4.2 is the current set date.

    I think the biggest issue for me isn't as much that Eureka is delayed, but IF the Relic's initial phases do not even need Eureka then I'll find myself being exceedingly pissed. Also I'm willing to bet that 4.2 actually means 4.25 so that it doesn't interfere with the raid launch. So we're looking at a real chance of not being able to start the relic, something iconic to this game, until Febuary with January being the earliest unless some miracle happens and they get it out 4.17.

    Welp. This really sucks.

    By then there will be a large portion of players using the tomestone alternatives, and SE will have to jump a whole design step to compensate the missing patch cycle. (Meaning two weapons with sparkly alternatives verses 3.) Plus, we don't know the power behind Shinryu EX's drops. Also, isn't the new Deep Dungeon coming around 4.25?

    I think this delay will cut out a decent chunk of players from doing the 4.0 relics, even if Eureka is fun and the weapons are good, they'll already be on the side of the alternatives.


    It might be better if we knew what Eureka was even hinted to be like in FFXIV. Fate grinding for currency to take on solo bosses on a job by job basis? A physical labyrinth we need to explore? Quest lines in the single Eureka zone? Hunts? ???

    Yoshida mentioned Shinryu EX's weapon helping on DPS check for V3S, if you're stuck on it. I'm guessing it means it's about the same level as the the augmented one.

    ....and there's another nail in the Eureka coffin.


    I always opted for the alternative routes for weapons verses the relic when I made the effort as the grinds are just so awful pre-nerf, so I was really looking forward to the changes brought by Eureka.

    The anima light step really isn't ever getting nerfed, is it?
