Food for Thought: Relic Books?

[Quatre]

Since we know both Scholar and Summoner use books i'm quite curious about a couple of things.


Do we know of any famous book weapons in the history of Final Fantasy?


When Scholar is a healer and Summoner is not, how are they going to share weapons?



Do you think they will introduce a Staff, or some other weapon to be used as the Summoner Relic, or perhaps just use a famous weapon's name I.E. Nirvana and make it a book?

I think there will be two different relic weapons, but they will both be books.

I can think of only one famous book in final fantasy.

In Final Fantasy 3, the scholar's ultimate weapon was called Omnitome in the DS version.

Maybe Tantarian could be the summoner relic and Omnitome for scholar ?

The Class use the wep so they never going to allow jobs to use other type of wep. For them to do that they have to change the rules of the battle system.

I think they just be two books lol how stupid that sound that the best thing to do. Or make a book that change stats but then you pretty much get two free relics lol.

The relic weapons were Job only, you couldn't use them without the jobstone equipped.

I love you so much. This is awesome!

I'd expect two separate tomes, one for SMN and one for SCH.

Name wise who knows.. FF draws inspiration from a multitude of religions/mythologies/etc, particularly norse and eastern in origins.. (Fenrir/Gungnir, Ifrit, and Shiva as some easy and obvious stuff). Hell XIII (and sub-releases) in particular laid it on really thick ^^;

Wouldn't surprise me if they have some good stuff up their sleeves for this, if nothing else I'll have fun trying to track down the references if any.

When Scholar is a healer and Summoner is not, how are they going to share weapons?

I don't see any problems with them being able to equip the same weapons since they branch from the same class, though it's probable that they'll make certain books job specific, (I.E. if you have a Arcanist/Summoner book equipped, you can't equip the SCH job crystal) otherwise they'll simply be able to equip books with stats meaningless to their job, which isn't a big deal.

If the Necrologos isn't some job's relic weapon, I'm going to be a bit disappointed. XD

AKA "Book of the Dead". I'd like to see it as the drop off of a major dungeon's undead boss.
