New Job Zodiac + Anima What If Thread

[Burningskull]

If in some universe SE did Zodiac and Anima weapons of all the new jobs, such as SAM, RDM and GNB...(Gunbreaker) would you do them? I would probably do them for GNB lol. Edit: Who am I kidding... I'd probably do them for RDM and SAM to...

Also I'm doing the Zodiac quest for PLD and I think it's time for the Zodiac quest to be nerfed somewhat.

20k GC Seals for Bombard Cores each still.
100k gil for NPC items still.
And lets not talk about the prices still being charged for the crafted items, which I would hope goes the way of the unidentified items for the Anima weapon and can be gotten some other way eventually.

meh, my biggest gripe with the zodiacs is the one book/one map lockout, and you can at least get around the map limit using chocobag/retainers, i really wish you could buy either all the books for a job at once, or hold one book for every job, primarily to cut down on the amount of just constant teleporting you have to do for book step currently

If they looked good enough, sure. I just did the sch book for my alt and it only took me a few days. Could do most things between queues and everything else goes super fast since its all ridiculously easy solos now.

Zodiac weapons are the best relic glamours. The base weapons look good and there is none of that overwhelming glow they have grown so fond of in HW and beyond. Honestly we are basically just holding oddly shaped light bulbs at this point.

Yes, if they made a Lionheart one for Gun I would go for it asap ^_^.

Done three Zodiac and four Animas, and currently doing NIN Zodiac with my partner while he makes the WHM one. I find ARR relics prettier and more fun to do, so if they look nice, I would love to do Gunbreaker or the other jobs from 5.0.

Depends on the design, really. Although the Zodiac and Zetas had really good designs and the glows actually complemented the weapons rather than...whatever the hell they did in HW, the weapons themselves were pretty bland until they started to glow and even then they looked pretty ugly (looking at YOU, Terpander).

Seriously, Nirvana Zeta is still one of, if not the prettiest WHM staff to date <.<

Hey hey, what's with all the Anima Relic hate? ; ; I just did the PLD Anima and I think it looks like the best one of them... Granted I also love lightsabers so.....

That would be sweet. I was really hoping for Sephy's Masamune for SAM relic in SB...

My goal is to hopefully end up with every relic weapon in the game.

So, yes I'd do them.

(But seriously... Holy butts for Anima and the absurd amount of Poetics you need for Umbrite...)

I have gone through the whole Zodiac questline once. I am not going to do it again - unless possibly if the final weapon looks absolutely, stupendously amazing (which none of the existing ones do).

Many parts of the questline has been heavily nerfed already. The 100k gil for some of the items needed shouldn't be hard at all to come up with at that point in the game.

Lol, no no. The ARR relic quests have already been nerfed like crazy. It still needs to be somewhat of a grind that consumes a fair amount of time and giving you something to do. It might cost 80k seals for all the bombard cores, but GC seals are extremely easy to acquire. 400k gil is a nice chunk, and the crafted items still go for a nice amount off of the MB. Not an issue if you're an omni crafter, but grinding out gil also is not difficult if you're resourceful. I've completed four ARR relics and five HW relics, and lemme tell ya, nothing is worse than those damn books!

If they did release ARR quests for expansion jobs, I would definitely got through that grind again for at least one of them. It would be really interesting to see the ARR versions of those weapons.
