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

[Zenaku]

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...

That the point of the FFXIV relic system Yoshi-p said he want to make the relic the most powerful wep to get in the game at each level cap. The Curtana would later become a excalibur the curtana look noting like a excalibur but you would use curtana as the base wep to upgrade it to excalibur just how we use the class x2 meld as the base to make it into a curtana. Yoshi-p give that only example.

But it make sense at level 70ish excalibur should be the best and most powerful wep in the game but to get it would be a hard and long quest so it going to be hard to get excalibur and less people would have it then let say a curtana. At least that what it seem like it going to happen.
