Relics are always instantly irrelevant on launch. Let's change this!

[Nezerius]

if you make relic weapons "relevant" you run the risk of making EX fights dead on arrival and pointless. you would have to change the type of rewards that EX fights give out completely.

Or, y'know, make the relic grindy.

Not like a relic step getting released at the same time as an EX weapon hasn't happened before, just look at patch 2.2's Leviathan EX. The Atma/Animus steps were released on the same day, but these steps were grindy, so people still ran Leviathan EX as a non-grindy alternative for main or alt jobs.
