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

This is the worst part. Some people take a long to time to recover from Hamlet Farm Mode. Relying on other people not to suck or even show up is the biggest obstacle.

One thing I'm really hoping for is a quest to gain access to Artifact Armor 6 Piece Bonus

AF Armor + Relic and a bonus from each piece for having all 6 pieces.

(Holy Shield - Results Pending)

would have to be some sort of mega bonus to make up for most af gear being completely sub-par to most other gear. I dont desire a set bonus for it but from what im hearing there will be vanity slots so you can were it if you want and get better stats from other gear.

Sub par in that you can't meld the base stats and such to it. But as a set bonus, "anything" can be added. Not to mention "the effectiveness of base stats is being adjusted for ARR"

In context what I mean is:
- 6 Piece Bonus would require the Relic Weapon
- Without directly upgrading the Relic Weapon, through use of the AF gear, you limit the issues that having to balance content based on a super powerful weapon has on future gear for people without Relic Weapons.

I was thinking more along the lines of, wear the AF armor for the amazing Gear set Bonus, and have the DL armor for Vanity. Or Pink Mage gear, or whatever

It is like saying noone is allowed to comment about WWII, because they did not experience it.

FYI, WWII was super easy to win
