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

[Req]

I don't mind if they release stronger weapons than relics just as long as the relics are upgradeable at the time the better weapons are released. This could be not only stat wise but I think it would be cool if you learned a unique ability or weaponskill with the next set of upgradeable relics that you can only use if you have completed the quest. That would REALLY separate the men from the boys in that regard, and give people a reason to do the relic quest even if there are weapons with similar stats, or better stats later on.

Like a paladin that gets defender or some crap if they do the next step in the relic quest, or a bard with a new song unique to the upgraded relic that increases critical hit rate and crit attack or something.

It probably isn't going to happen but I can dream. The biggest issue with the relics right now is the fact there are decent weapons available to the masses and there really isn't an "oh shit this person has a relic" factor when you join a group. They need to make it so that if you join a pug and people see you with a relic they know shits about to go down.
