You wonder why? Ragwagon is dead and buried if these weapons exist...but it dies along with everything else. We lose all sense of individuality, instead we'll all end up as doppelgängers.
this is what everyone was saying when Perle Aurore and Teal Gear first came out.... we still have a few expansions to go, and im pretty sure E/M/R weapons will be given a huge boost in coming updates.
Your point is taken, but at that time the coming updates were adding 19 more levels to the game, and the transition from 75-99 was fairly well done. The game remained intact and SOME 75 content retained the need for groups, albet smaller than before.
These new weapons are akin to raising the level cap to 150 or such, but no increase is happening. Even assuming r/e/m weapons are put back on top, those will just be even more obscene. There SHOULDN'T be a weapon that shits on everything else, the idea of ffxi was that people had a degree of choice in how they played, but would still be able to compete. Currently that's looking to be obliterated.
I agree with this, but do think its not fair if you unlock a weapon skill and can't use it as the weapon is outclassed.
They should make all the weapon skills for REM at 90 useable can be used by any weapon. Give it a quest. If you take it to 99, then aftermath can be used on any weapon that uses that weapon skill you unlocked.
This would keep all the REM relivent for a reason. And let new weapons take the place over time.
You know you already have the mythic ws or you didn't unlock them yet?

I honestly dunno what to think. Was gonna start working on an Almace when my BLU is able to actually wear it, but by the looks of it, should just sell my soul for the new sword and staff?
Sad Ivy is sad.
I think the lesson here is:
"If you're not in Adoulin, you're wasting your time."
Or you could be preparing for them to re-power RME in a future update. It (like many things) is a matter of perspective.

Dear everyone trying to update:
There's a sale on underwear at Wal-Mart for those who ruined all theirs while reading this thread.
Stop updating so I can get past checking files and get new clean underwear.
Love,
Ivy.

I'm upset too! Where is my Rajas replacement?! All seriousness though .... lol. Wonder if the Delve junk will be low man-able LS doesn't have 18 people. I'm gonna guess those craftable things are made from mats gotten from the bosses of the Delves seeing as they look like they drop body parts unlike the reive versions. Sadly no new BLU spells. Guess I have another month to get Tourbillion since its the only one I'm missing.

Anyway, I'm really just being silly and am much more calm than you think about this. I really think there's no need to fret over r/e/m since they're gonna be updated, rather I'm shocked at how strong they will be given the increase in stats that has been quite drastic.
Basically. But of course stat increase is going to be more drastic than anything we've ever seen. They're not increasing level caps anymore. All of our increases are going to come in the form of stat increases on gear. This is the new "level cap increase." I'm impressed at how large the jump was, but it really doesn't surprise or shock me.

Just saw this as well.
Alternator - An improved version of the animator with more precise capabilities than the original model.
99PUP
Wonder what this one will do. Convert automaton oil into electrical energy so you can use more attachments.

With these new weapons, kill them before they kill you!

Would the Auto even count anymore with the new H2H? XD Unless they are going to buff it as well it seems like things might switch up for pup.

Noticed something interesting:
Nahtirah gear=Xux.
Yaoyotl=Quauhpilli.
And there are delve versions of Colkhab and Achuka, so they might be from them...

To quote Asher, SE just rammed *** in *** ***.
EDIT: Batiatus
Which if you saw some of the last episodes of Spartacus... that actually happened.

Never thought I'd be typing these words...but Tanaka, we need you back.

I understand the need to not panic about our R/M/E weapons, as there is hope that we'll get boosted to match these new god weapons.
But we already have a "Path" we have been following with these weapons to upgrade them: Trial of the Magians. The first instinct would be that in order for SE to re-balance R/M/E to put them on top, would be add more ToM to upgrade them higher. But, we're already stuck on rediculous requirements to finish that path: Afterglow.
Does this mean that SE is full of ***about making them compete someday? Would we be required to drain 250 marrows on afterglow to then get the next upgrade after that? Or would the "balance" be done automatically on all R/M/E across the board no matter which stage you're on?
Unless the "adjustment" to R/M/E that would put them back on par with these godly weapons is an augment of some sort that is applicable to pre-afterglow level, I cannot see how they could possibly make this work...

What the *** Pya'ekue belt? Did they forget they recent put in Phos?
Next few updates I won't be suprised to see a +20% haste belt.
By itchi508 2013-04-29 16:06:51
Wow.
Just wow.
Either we're seriously being trolled hardcore, or this game is now forever changed. Games changed with a quantem leap, destroying most gear and putting even HQ Abj gear & stuff like phos belt to shame, and unless you 99 your R/E/M it looks like new weapons will beat most all weapons that are under 99 even with AM up. We will see what the R/E/M update brings but that will require a 99base to even begin.
im sure everyone is unsure where this games going but looks like ffxi future is shity reives... WTF are they doing to this game.. At the point of saying Who wants to buy a ffxi character lol

Not sure if this was already posted about, but I caught this in the list of things "fixed"
"An issue wherein the graphics of NPC "Noan" is being Galka instead of Hyur."
what the hell is a Hyur?

Never thought I'd be typing these words...but Tanaka, we need you back. I was just thinking how ironic it is that everyone mocked him for trying to preserve game balance. Now, balance has been thrown out the window and predictably no one likes that much either. It must be frustrating as hell to try to develop content for this player base :/
