Tomestones.. Again.. for a relic..

[Deceptus]

Really does bolster the argument that the B team is working on FFXIV keeping it on life support while the main team is busy getting FFXVI ready to ship.

Everything post EW release has been pretty lackluster. (IMHO)

[Geckooooo]

I just wish the easy steps came with content to do, the first step of bozja relics came out with an EX trial, this relic doesn't really add anything to do.

Then idk, just play the game. What’s so hard about that? You want to grind tokens, then imagine them. You want to farm fates, get your colourful gems. Tomes for relics literally isn’t stopping you from doing anything else. I’m sure there’s in game achievements you can chase if you need more carrots to chase.

Or just complain more

Yeah, just spend 5 minutes and some tomes to get your relic, hide it up the back end I guess and pretend you have to do an actual relic quest over the next 2 months to get it. Great idea!!

I'll gladly take tomestones over content that becomes annoying to do once the initial rush is over.

[Sepher]

This is really disappointing. You wait months for the next step, and it's identical to the last one. Grinding out relics is rewarding, now they just feel like participation bonuses.

I was really looking forward to a return to the old style of relics, but this is an utter disappointment and just feels lazy.

Except that initial rush is sometimes the highlight of an entire expansion.

In the almost 10 years I've been playing this game, Eureka on content was the most fun the game has ever been. You just need to have enough and repeatable content for the "initial rush" to last long enough for people to do it in a reasonable amount of time.

so like 90% of content in this game?

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

I'm both somewhat relieved and disappointed when I find out the acquisition means.

Relieved because it's not strictly tied to deep dungeons (yet), which I was dreading to see. (because I vehemently dislikes deep dungeons)
Disappointed because it's not something that I 'actively' work for. I can just went about my dailies like I've always been doing and I'll acquire whatever relic over time. (how I really miss exploratory zones... ;_; )

If by 90% you mean duty finder content, at least you con complete duty finder content consistently and reliably. The duty finder is future proofed.

Hot take but I actually prefer this method. Eureka and Bozja took you out of the rest of the game. Granted the ShB relics let you do other stuff besides Bozja, it was still highly specific and included things like deep dungeon with no other non Bozja alternative. No shame to the people who like exploratory zones but this is a welcome change in my opinion. I much prefer the game not care what I do to get the currency then demand I spend several hours doing a lot of something I hate.

I too enjoy waiting 4 months to do the exact same content I've already been doing, using the same currency I'm already trying to spend on something else. Great content.
