You do NOT fuck with the Red Chocobo.
I've very happy with these weapons so far! Some aren't to my taste, but thats expected. The first step of the weapon is what finally got me to do the Manderville quests, so it actually took me a while before I got my weapon, while people who had already done it got their weapon immediately. The more people who do the manderville quests the better, maybe they will grow a sense of humor.
I can't wait till relics get grindy and people start crying they are too long and how they can't finish all relics. I hear it all the time on ARR weapons. My question is how many people cry about EW weapons have even started Eureka for their relic. I hear people cry about EW weapons yet not even open Bozjain. I love these easy steps because later it will be hard to work on all the relics I want. Even now it is hard to fit in relic grind with all the content I am doing. The DoH relics will take time also. I still can't believe people are crying about stage 2. The other relics first 2 stages were easy. And this time people were ready for it. This is going to be so much fun for me when they get grindy. If you do only relics this is easy but if you want to do other content and not just relics all these steps add up.
On the one hand, I like how they are giving us ilvl630 weapons as the second stage because the previous relics felt like they were only good for as cosmetic weapons until the very last step.
On the other yeah.. I think they didn't want players to be put off by an extra grind right after completing the entirety of the Hildibrand quests. But they went a bit too easy on us.
Maybe a ligther grind would've been better than no grind at all. Even better if they included zones from Endwalker, getting a few memories from EW fates or something. That + the 1500 tomestones = next weap step.
I prefer the exploratory zone method. I understand that's not for everyone. But what we have now is probably my least favourite method imaginable. I'm absolutely ok with actual grinds, especially if I can group up with mates or even randoms to do the content.
I feel like most of us have been playing FFXIV for a long time now. Remember how bad the initial HW relic grind was having to do FATES for crystals with RNG drop rates? I do. Remember having to do Eureka FATE trains in SB? I do. Remember having to do all the Bozjda content to get a relic in ShB? I sure do. I was NOT fun. Especially having to it for multiple jobs.
What made it even worse was that often times the weapon you just spend ALL that time on became irrelevant by the next few patches when savage or tombstone weapons were released. It basically just becomes a glam.
Soooooo, yeah just having to turn in tomesstomes for a relic is completely fine with me personally. 🤷🏾♂️
I'm fine with the Endwalker Relic Weapon, FFXIV's Gameplay doesn't have the Quality to back up validation to grind through the Game. There is alot of other stuff to do currently in FFXIV, like the PvP Battle Pass, Gold Saucer or the Loporrits, but PvE? Oh Noo this shit's dead to me (outside of the MSQ ofc)
I did one relic in shadowbringers. Been playing since ARR– had never done the relic because, to put it simply, I could do literally anything else with the time I would spend on the relic and be much, much happier.
But ended up doing the relic grind in shadowbringers because, well, covid meant I was spending a lot more time in game.
Hated it. Hated Bozja, hated doing E3N 30+ times, hated running Hells Kier like 20 times, finished the weapon, used it for like four months, gave it a retainer and put the replica in the glam dresser.
IDK, maybe the rewards function of my brain doesn't function properly– but I didn't feel like I achieved shit. Didn't feel special and great because I'd wasted a bunch of time doing shit I didn't want to do for a weapon glam I use… occasionally. Decided at the end of Shadowbringers that, okay, I gave it a shot, did the grind. Never, ever doing that again.
I'm doing five relics this patch cycle instead– one for every job I leveled for role quests.
Hate all you want, grindbabies. I love this system. I can log in for 30 min to an hour each day, do CC or my usual couple of roulettes, and complete about one weapon a week.
No hours spent in some dumb 'exploration' zone, no running the same old dungeons, raids, or fates for days/weeks hoping some dumb item will finally drop.
Instead, I can play my usual amount, make progress, and spend the time I would have spent grinding… playing one of the dozen other games I got on backlog rn.
Literally using chatgp to write the devs a thank you note in japanese for doing this.
