They did nerf some of the grindy parts of the past relics like the "light" accumulation steps they either lowered the value needed or they made the gain rate higher. Some of the other steps I feel could use some trimming like the books on the ARR ones. As mentioned they don't appear to have a desire to make relic weapons for jobs that didn't exist during that expansion. For BLU I wouldn't mind a proper relic for it but I'd also like it if the weapon actually had some stats or bonus on it. At the least for BLU I'd like them to add recipes to craft BLU weapons from trials drops and do the same for jobs released after that set of trials because those crafted "weapons" are just used for glamour anyway.
