So this is how the community has made SE do it. The game is based on REMA, at this stage there really isn't a point to changing it now.
I despise this aspect (being based on REMA) but I totally agree on Lady.
We're SEVERAL years late complaining for that, makes no sense really.

Agreed

Nope. This is the cycle of the game we chose. They tried to move off the REM train at SoA. And we the community threw an absolute shitfit. We told them we liked our ultimate weapons, they were important, and keep them at the top. So they did. And now the entire game is built around them. They're here to stay. We're at a point where Relics are almost entirely useless, and most empyreans are as well. We can rereforge Relics, make them viable again, jumpstart the original Dynamis economy, and a few months down the line do the same for empyrean. This is the life we chose. Embrace it.

To be fair, SE wanted to move away from Relic and Mythic weapons with Abyssea. The TotM upgrades were never meant to include Relics and Mythics. But when 80 cap was introduced and everyday players could obtain something better in 10 minutes than someone who spent 2 years on a weapon, the outcry was enough to get SE's attention.

So this is how the community has made SE do it. The game is based on REMA, at this stage there really isn't a point to changing it now.

The same community that doesn't have an English community rep. They listen to us very well.

They still have some around. But it's not like they listened to Camate when he was around anyway, so lol.

Don't worry, JPs love rema more than NA. I still remember how they nuked the forum during 2013 rema rage quit era, lol.

This game will be very, very, very unlikely to move away from endless circle of rema upgrade, period. I don't see how it can sustain the playerbase without rema grind at this point. There aren't enough resources to develop content fast enough to keep people stay subbed, and creating expensive grinds to update old gears is the best way. It's obvious that they are using this strategy via dyna D and such.

"Adds 75% of wyvern's max HP as additional damage" and "Adds 100% of wyvern's max HP as additional damage" have been applied to the job abilities High Jump and Soul Jump as well.
As such, item help text referencing these properties now reads as follows.
"All Jumps: Adds 75% of wyvern's max HP as additional damage" / "All Jumps: Adds 100% of wyvern's max HP as additional damage"

I hope they follow this pattern in the future and make any jump-enhancement gear similar with the "All Jumps" text. Would be nice if they retroactively adjusted previous "jump" enhancement stuff as well.

Would be awesome if they were to do that even retroactively indeed, at least on ilevel gear.
Didn't they mention that possibility when they answered that JP player asking about it?

The Divergence weapons should be a lot simpler process to make than what some seem to be expecting, are indicated to be a synthesis, and now indicated to be direct competition to RMEA weapons. Let's wait on Tarowyn's take on the Div weapon segment before spazzing out too much.

IMO though, there's no way in hell that it's an upgrade to Relics. XD No matter how hard the mats are to get, that would be nowhere near enough pain to pay for an Ultimate Weapon upgrade.

If they are gonna update RMEA because of that (like Tarowyn claims) then no, it sounds like it's gonna be something else entirely.
Especially the huge emphasis that Nyalrko reported about how much time they spent talking about how expensive and nice they'll be.
They've never done that for Raetic or the other weapons added in the last 1+ years.
Before Aeonic were released the Statement was clear and in the video. “This will be the final set of ultimate weapons.”
That's true, but they could've changed their minds.

SoA wasn't supposed to be released either, if you think about it.
Or it could be a matter of nomenclature.

Like they say "nooo it's not an ultimate weapon!" but then they could still de facto be despite their refusal to define them as such.



@Ladyofhonor
Nah. Whatever these new weapons are gonna be they said they will be mats, crafting and eschuteon related, so I doubt they will have anything to do with the old Relics.

Requiring Escutcheon-crafted materials to augment existing relics via synergy completely feels like something SE would do.

Even though 0 evidence in the past shows they never did synergy augments for rema gear or weapons. Now let’s pretend you’re right they do that the only weapon it would be for would be relics. Meaning all the mythic,emp and aeonic weapon holders go nuts and cry their eyes out until the next update. I don’t see SE wanting that headache and possibility of people leaving which was the huge issue with SOA being better then REMs dmg wise for 30 mins of work. The time it took SE to address that complaint was not just huge on the Japanese side but the population started to leave the game during this time. The evidence was shown in the Japanese forums I don’t see them doing augment like more just crafted weapons simple as that.

Just for drama sake they would make something drastically better than REMA that is incredibly easy to obtain. And watch the rage quit begin.

Incorrect nothing in the update talks about removing goblin let alone the statement “if you have ANV keys you can use still.”
“15th Vana’versary Records of Eminence Objectives have undergone the following adjustments.
Dial keys #ANV can no longer be obtained. Any that have already been obtained, however, may still be used.”

Most likely a glitch or getting setup something special for the moogle vs goblin(or moblin) event.

If dyna D weapons are competitive to Rema, I'd prefer a weapon type that's different from Rema. I would love a sword that's competitive to sequence on cor, don't quite want another doomsday +1 or Holliday +1 that's +- 0.5% dps gap of EMA guns.

I very much agree. I am hoping for some sort of utility upgrade like mythics or just something away from the classic heavy damage output path. I like when a weapon or armor set changes how jobs are played and feel like a great way to freshen things up a bit could be to go down that path. ***. I realllllly want to see JSE spells bound to weapons and armor more often. Like how Bard Aeonic or twilight cloak works. Pipe dreams~
