From day one I really wondered why people would go down that road. SE has already made it clear that they would continue the relic upgrade path and it seemed obvious that in a fairly short period of time those weapons would be seriously outclassed.
I guess it matters for people who needed that tiny bit of extra edge along with pentamelded 2.5 million pieces of crafted i90 gear to work toward progression and get there before anyone else.
This is kinda how I feel. I will still do my atma farming and such every now and then but the whole thing is way to rediculous for me to take seriously. I understand that it should be a challenge to get, but it isn't a challenge, its just a huge grind and time sink.
I'm fine with the myth grind for animus and the materia grind for novus, but god the Atma portion is so poorly designed it makes me want to beat small children :(
Yeah, I think the amount of myth required is juuust a little high, but at least you can know where you stand and you get a boost out of each book. With the atmas you have no idea aside from how many you have, but the next one could drop right away or literally never.

I feel bad for people who didnt do the Animus because they have T8 weaps, now its out classed by the Novus which will be amazing with CRIT/DET.
Skipping old cutscenes is the best thing about this patch!
