Just my 2 cents

I think the XI relic system is definitely what they should aim for. Sure I never got one personally but they were always there as the ultimate objective, and since they were nearly impossible to get you always had something to work for. That's really this game's biggest flaw imo, XI was full of mountains you could "never" climb so you wouldn't get bored nearly as often.



And if they do "Upgrades" I hope the weapons have different looks or something... to me the FFXI method of upgrading relics every 5 levels just to be a reskinned/glorified version of the old one was pretty lame. 3 things that ruined XI for me: Magian trials, Augments, and Abyssea.

Just would hate to see this game go one of those routes...
