Will Relics create the same problems that they did in FFXI?

[syntaxlies]

I honestly feel bad for those with relics, negates the drive to do future content.

This could be solved by making situational weapons that excel at certain content more so than relics, like weapons that deal more damage to certain mob types, some with heavy elemental affinity, or gimmick weapons like XI's kraken club. This would also negate the inevitable tiered content issue that plagues most modern MMOs

it would only negate the desire to do future content if the future content is based on sub par weapons. Lets hope there are more gear choices and not all weapons.
