Give the possible Eureka 5.X its own weapon, and separate Relic from it

[Reynhart]

Why the relics isn't required to progress Eureka then ?

For the same reason why normal raid was created. Because people would whine endlessly that they have to put dedication into some content if they want the lore behind it. And I'm pleased to see that the storyline and the final weapon upgrade only come with doing the Baldesion Arsenal, instead of simply reaching level 60 and farming FATEs.

and don't bring any argument for your claim about how Eureka was created around the relic.

Then I guess this is a better place to quote this than in my previous post :

Y: Up until now, in the theme park called FFXIV land, we went to various attractions through the Zodiac and Anima Weapon quest lines, but I think a lot of people are getting tired of that system. We are also reaching our limits on how to create routes to go to those attractions, so we thought that we might as well make the weapon quest one of the attractions, as well, rather than it being a tool to see attractions. It will still be a “time to win” based attraction like Zodiac and Anima Weapons. That’s why we thought that the name “Forbidden land” fits it quite well… (laugh). In FFIII, Eureka is a land that is sealed with powerful magic and weapons, so in order to keep that charm point, we want players to put in hours and effort into making it. With that in our minds, we thought we should bring it up by a level, so we made Eureka.

Eureka weapon have no lore at all or you have some to provide ?

It has, but you need to do Eureka for that, and not just Anemos.

Because last time I checked it a weapon upgraded with junk we found around here, nothing comparable to a zodiac brave weapon or a living weapon having her own soul.

Sure, because all the items we bought from Rowena's slaves with our tomestones are anything but junk...And what good did that soul do when your benched your weapon to your servant ? Of the really close tie between your Zodiac weapon and the actual Zodiac Braves, that are past Ivalice heroes, and nothing like what was said in the weapon storyline.
