I was hoping for a one-time only field operation grind and then a token grind with as many different ways of approaching it as possible.
Similar to the new mogpendium system, but with far more options available like: ultimates, savage, extremes, deep dungeon, maps, crafting, roulette, etc. So you can earn far more tokens the more difficult the content. All repeatable.
So if you clear an ultimate you can get a weapon worth of tokens in a single clear, or you can go craft/big fish/saucer and get the same thing done just taking longer. That way you can work on the relic and something else at the same time.
