The issue I had with the amaro mount was more that, as the basic common flying mount used on the First, it felt like it should have probably been easier to get, or even an msq mount like we've gotten in prior expansions. (Makitek reaper, midgar, mana cutter, yol). With maybe something more special and unique, or even an armored or otherwise interesting variant of an amaro, for the level all jobs achievement.

As for relics, no reward is going to be good enough to motivate me to do all that grinding for more relics.
