Its finally done ! I hope you like this expansion's result. In favor of a cleaner Showcase, I decided to attach the WEAPON NAMES to the Subtitles and tried syncing them with the music as well. So if you want the info about each weapon shown, turn them on. Much love and appreciation for all the Warriors of Light and Darkness, that kept supporting and watching the content of this channel. Forge Ahead and keep loving Final Fantasy
9:36 The SUM at this point: "The hell! I'm trying to take notes on this new Primal but I can't see the paper for all the blue hexagons my new journal cover is creating!"
TBH, it was a bit disappointing that scholar and summoner didn't get touch pads/high tech on the inside. That would've been really cool (and like a stylus on the side) but instead it's still just paper >.>
This is really helpful with what I was wanting to see in terms of glamour for my job weapons. I also loved how you made the ninja look like Yugiri. I feel its a cute tribute to her. May the voice actress RIP!
Endwalker was my first new expansion, and it was a pleasure getting to collect all of these. I'm always at work when the new patches drop, so I always looked forward to watching your relic stage videos and deciding which to grind for first when I got home
I wouldn't mind the glows for the final steps being all the same if the base weapon models at least had different aesthetics and/or the weapons all had different colored glows rather than just the blue and purple
I like how you used Zenos for presenting the reaper weapon because the thought of Zenos playing through all of Hildi to get this weapon without just cutting him down is hilarious. :D
They started off as upgrades to the relic gear weapons, into wholly unique designs into Space/alien/Omnicron weapons (due to the whole manderville weapons being made by extraterrestrials) I had no real issue with them, and i even like the glows. They have done similar glow stuff before in the past for final weapons. ARR, SB and SBH all had the same glows, but more often, they had color changes. Only weapon series with radically different end glows was Anima in HW and even then previous steps were similar in glowing stuff. If you dont believe me go look up the relics from past expansions. All bozja weapons have stain glass glows, all eureka weapons have the amano design with super twistly glowy bits, and all ARR have outline glows on the weapons. I feel like part of people not enjoying the relic appearances now is just due to how easily obtainable it is compared to previous relics. Me personally i actually like a lot of these end weapons. I thought the first 2 looks were sub par and the second look was okay for others. I'll rock these looks for a while until i feel the urge to go back to other relics if i so wish.
The designs look fine, but they just don't scream 'relic' to me. They seem like something that would drop from a raid. Specifically for PLD Amazing SnS is a low-fantasy design with a fairly basic aesthetic. Majestic SnS is a high-fantasy design with a more otherworldly aesthetic, but it still fits into the game. Mandervillious SnS looks like something that would drop in a raid, particularly The Arcadion, going by the extent of RGB lighting involved. It just doesn't make sense. Fantasy -> Fantasy -> Beep Boop. Its less a matter of not liking the design and more so a matter of the design jumping the shark aesthetically. I guess I'll just have to live with the Majestic SnS replica whenever it gets dual dye channels.
@Direwolf13PS3 it made sense when you read the quest text and understand that the manderville story was dealing with aliens. The weapon quest was all about reforging weapons the late ancestor of Godbert had created in the past in hopes of making them for people in the event something like the Final Days came back to defend themselves with. The two other steps were estimations and ideas, while the final step is the closest to the originals possible. These weapons were going to be the weirdest but also big fantasy with the alien tech going on. Even the quest said Pupu lend his hands in crafting the final step blueprint a little. I am not a fan of the idea the mandervilles are aliens (and then quickly retconned to have the current mandervilles be from adopted great grandparents) and it can be a bad story but they went and made it make sense in the long run why the final weapons look like that. As was the blades being antique looking, Eureka being Amano inspired, and so on. Taste can be subjective as seen by this collection. I know people who despised the Eureka weapons who then came around to them due to their uniqueness and I feel that due to the ease of obtaining these relics that sentiment might change as time goes on. Truth be told any of the weapon steps could of come from other content. First step could of been the relic job gear, the second could of also came from a raid with how all of them had that flaming fire effect too. It's a matter of perspective.
@italian504 That isn't the point I made, and Pupu's tech doesn't look like that. A more advanced variation on the Majestic designs would've looked more unique than something I would've expected to see in Tera ten years ago.
Every single one of these are gorgeous!! even the matte ones! Thanks so much for the hard work on putting this video together! I love these vids but always have the same question every time I watch one... what is that outfit?!?!?! Would it be possible for you to add the outfit names to the side of the screen? smaller txt is fine, we can pause the video to get the names. I seem to be always taking a screen shot of an outfit and pasting it in my FC discord to ask what the top is or what the shoes are.... lol I think they're sick of me. Anyways... your vids are much appreciated!
Theogonic Corselet of Aiming(Thaleia Alliance Raid) Woodland Warden's Skirt(Mogstation) That's all I can make out, the rest you can make it up yourself however you feel like :)
Well Done! Does this mean you have all of them now? Wouldn't mind seeing a ALL RELICS video if you do have access to them. How about including them using the trick to have them glow when put away? ...the draw weapon/sit/stand macro
the reason im not really a fan of the final EW relic phase because how far it derived from the previous phase's design. this might look good in Dawntrail new city, but right now this isn't it (just yet)
Nice video ! I dont like the last weapons that much - almost always the third one is the best looking one for me - overall there were a ton cooler relic weapons from older content (ARR or Heavensward has cool looking ones)
agree 100%. these look more like the spruced up version of a extreme trial weapon than relics imo. none of them look all that worth getting to me. will just stick with the second/third stage versions
The Majestic SnS design looks like a high-fantasy evolution of the Amazing SnS, and then it just becomes 'RGB GAMING' SnS. I don't dislike the design, but it just doesn't seem very 'relic' to me. I truly hope relics in Dawntrail are more inspired and less visually similar between classes. The Majestic step was more varied.
It’s funny, I disliked the look for the final stage at first, but once we got our hands on the Vanguard gear sets in Dawntrail I was rushing to get the GNB relic to match the set. 😂
looking back, I actually liked a lot of the 1st phase models...some of then had genuinely good base model designs like whm and drk....shame that the 2nd phase ones looked really out of place in comparison. I do like most of phase 3 and I think it'll have its place in Solution9 for sure. I think bard got the hugest glow up by far, I absolutely love the bis bow. I also think whm also has a nice design with the cyperpunk-themed flower. Unfortunately I think sum/sch and ast weapons need some sort of redesign, I just can't think of them being weapons at all...I'm not playing a fantasy game to have shiny-looking books
Im so disappointed at how the final stage looks the same for all the classes. In fact i was so disappointed that i didnt even realize that it was the final stage. One week away from dawntrail i thought, when will they finally release the final relic quest. Ow man...
I wish they had gone for a more biomechanical look as the final stage. It’d probably be a least a lil less jarring, and also fit the lore of the mandervillous aliens
I like all relics because they take time to make and commitment To me that’s a sign of dedication which equals love of the game. I think these ones look cool with the high tech aesthetics. It’s different and I have lots of glam from late alagan to augmented Allahabad, to laws order and eureka to use.
The final stage weapons are the best! When designing a techno-futuristic look there few options, but now with this final stage they might have re-skinned Ironworks armor that is long overdue. Bout time!!!!
while the process for acquiring them has left a lot to be desired I gotta say I love a lot of the designs. not just the final steps either but the 3rd step especially has some great base designs and a nice glow on most and second has a really cool unique effect for all the weapons. overall I'd say these are some of the best looking relics imo. its too bad BLM gets SHAFTed yet again and WHM steals all the cool weapon glams for rods. -__- when will this injustice end?
Tbh, the final glow should have been an upgrade of the Eureka Orthos wpn (would have been nice since we havent got a shiny wpn from a deep dungeon since PotD) and the exquisite wpn glow should be the relic's. I get that they did the exquisite wpn to force people into running criterion savage instead of just giving actual good reward. Kinda like what they did with Eureka back then where they back loaded all the good stuff and if you dropped because it was legitimately shit content you were SoL. The decisions they make sometimes are just fucking stupid. That final glow fits with like 1 type of glam without clashing. The previous glow is actually better IMO the last one looks nice but not for a relic.
No idea what's wrong with old account so had to start over😢. I really don't like all the changes / reworks to the game makes no sense. But.....I love Reaper hehe 😮
I feel like the second and last stages are kinda lame, mainly cause I've always disliked the ribbon effect, and all the weapons have the same techy/magitek effect in the last stage. The other stages go pretty hard though. (Apart from Dancer, the last stage of that one is very nice)
That's exactly what i wanted, for it to be big and noticeable, and they delivered on that. Why would you go reaper if you wanted a smaller less noticeable weapon lol?
The only ones that look good are mnk, dnc, whm, and sge. Rpr is kinda ok too. It sucks that they're all the same color. They were all such ornamental, pretty designs at first that serviced the weapons and then they did a complete 180 and ruined them imo :(. It's not a horrible concept just really poorly executed
Got about a 50% bad location rate to show these off...bad lighting, features visually merging with the background, etc. Not the best production value and certainly not the best relics visually, but nice collection.
Thank you for your feedback. I actually thought to have increased the Production value a lot and chose basically every zone/dungeon available in Endwalker for a reminiscent journey through the expansion. I will try to make it even better in dawntrail 👍
These final stages are rough. It reminds me of Stormblood omega raids with everything all tech like. I really didn't care for those raids. Even tho they tried throwing nostalgia in them. Felt bland, cold, uninspired just like these final relic weapons.
Some lend themselves to the change like the Warrior axe, but my god, it takes a cool looking weapon and just shit the bed with it. I love that the 3rd step had the no glowy shit option.
@@Ardethdelumière final step will also have the Matted version once 7.0 drops. It's the same pattern they did for SHB relics when they released with only glow option prior to 6.0
@tomvallieres4241 I guess by "long" I say it in a sense that if you've been playing since 2.x and haven't done Mandeville, you're looking at 7-9 hours IF you're a lore hound. Maybe 2-3 if you don't care about it.
Mandeville takes 0 effort compared to the rest honestly. ARR you have to do so many random steps that seem to not make sense for new players anymore, HW is no longer a pain but still a heavy poetics cost dump and a couple dungeons to unsync, Eureka can be lengthy the first time because of leveling and needing specific spawns, Bozja has way more steps first time and some are outright a pain like 15 time worn on repeated. Mandeville is as easy as spamming esc key if you care not for the story and unlocking the vendor to buy the reagents for tomes. Thankfully it's only about 6000 tomes each weapon from first step compared to what poetic amount you need for HW relics. It's so easy you can finish a weapon step a day or two purely by doing your daily roulette no problem. 900 a day or more if you get lucky in some roulette. The most passive weapon grind imaginable.
@@italian504 not even that. You could get a full weapon in a day if after you do all your roulette, hunting, and you your lvl 90 random dungeon. That's easily at the end of day.
I understand people can have opinions, but holy shit I’ll still be rattled by your taste if you think homogenisation of the relic designs are satisfactory.
I love when the final stage relics have a unified look, means a person can tell they are weapons from the same series, realistically why would they look different if the same dude made all with the same methods and materials?
Its finally done !
I hope you like this expansion's result.
In favor of a cleaner Showcase, I decided to attach the WEAPON NAMES to the Subtitles and tried syncing them with the music as well.
So if you want the info about each weapon shown, turn them on.
Much love and appreciation for all the Warriors of Light and Darkness, that kept supporting and watching the content of this channel.

I am glad to hear that. Thank you ☺️
Some of them looks better in the Majestic form than the Mandervillous form imo.
Not actually uncommon with Relics. With the Shadowbringers set, the version from DR looked better than the final versions.
Even the name sounds better
@@CrashB111 final stage looks like form completely different set honestly
@@CrashB111yea no gunblade final form looks way better and the axe looks better too. Not a single ew weapon looks good at its last stage
@@NoNo-ok1lp eh, i think there's an argument for the sage one, since they actually fit with sage's theme. but other than that, you right
I wouldn't mind the glows for the final steps being all the same if the base weapon models at least had different aesthetics and/or the weapons all had different colored glows rather than just the blue and purple
I feel that the cards on astrologian's mandervillous weapon should look better, like glow or shine
beautiful video, thank you for your time in showcasing everything!
Looks awesome! I will say that every step of RPR was a banger for me. I really like the Ancient to Futuristic flow they all have
I'm not a huge fan for every job, but Reaper's all look pretty great for sure.

One of the best relic series yet. Aquisition controversy aside, i love these
Anyone else still wondering why the final stage wasnt the joke weapon competition winners
I am just getting back into the game today. Are these in the game yet even??
Base Relic for PLD looks the best lol
steps 1, 2, and 4 are almost all awesome across the board. I'd say 50% of the last steps are great as well.
No glow look particularly good this expansion.
And that last BRD skin looks amazing... Like maybe leveling a BRD type of amazing
Tbh the final stage is a bit disappointing, they went from going for a demonic/ eerie look to a allagan tech look 😑
Looks more like Solution Nine (new Dawntrail zone)
Yeah wouldn’t grind any of them to last stage except maybe machinist because it suits the job
Nah they aaaaall look fuckin good as hell, and honestly match the theme, especially with the upcoming expansion
Naw the final stages for the new relics are beautiful.
@@bizi8143 dancer and warrior looks good but yeah i know what you mean
Thank you for this, you always make the best relic showcases!
Thank you ❤
do the final stages not have matte versions this time around? that's a shame, i don't really like the glow effect
Not yet, but perhaps they will later on?
3rd step looks best for most of these
Absolutely, by a longshot !
Mostly agree except for GNB, I really don't like the 3rd step gunblade. I love the first one, though.
Finally have an awesome looking scythe, been messing with the glamour for hours lol. REAPER GANG.
The green Scythe is one of the coolest in general. I love it
how could you say that when my boy the Kinna Sickle exists ?!? imo this reaper relic can't compae! even tho it is the best of this series

God this game has some great music
What's the glam for the machinist? That looks sick af
Theogonic Corselet of Aiming(Thaleia Alliance Raid)
Woodland Warden's Skirt(Mogstation)
That's all I can make out, the rest you can make it up yourself however you feel like :)
Well Done! Does this mean you have all of them now? Wouldn't mind seeing a ALL RELICS video if you do have access to them. How about including them using the trick to have them glow when put away? ...the draw weapon/sit/stand macro
Endwalker Relics have so far been my favorite to go for. The effects and design are awesome! The final step is much better than Shadowbringer's
I saw on the DNC weapon look that they were wearing some type of pants. What are those pants?
When you shocase the Majestic Manderville Chakrams, I know thats the nezha lady top, but whats the pants, leggings, and arms?
Great video! Quick question, what is your SAM glam?
Last stage is such an amazing design across the board! They all look amazing, especially reaper and Gunbreaker
some of them are but the weapons look like form a different set
the reason im not really a fan of the final EW relic phase because how far it derived from the previous phase's design. this might look good in Dawntrail new city, but right now this isn't it (just yet)
'TIS BETTER THAN THINE!
i absolutely love the final stages!
Honestly, the 6.45 BRD weapon looks sick AF (esp without the glow), better than the final stage.
This is Thancred
Please, can someone tell me what glamour the male reaper is using in 3:49 ?
That's a story character and his outfit isn't available for anyone else (sadly)
What an amazing showcase! I have gotten six 6.55 relic weapons, hopefully I will collect them all
Thank you 😊
White mage first stage was great. It is really fit with my glamour.
I didn't even resub to grind for other stages.
All of them are really cool, and once again Bard gets one of the better looking weapons of the set. XD
My milkshake bringeth al yon gentle folk to my yard!!!
What song is that from summoner onwards?? banging!
It's a version of the song “Close in the Distance” the ultima Thule theme. Can't seem to find what version or remix it is though, it is such a banger!
Found it! It is the version by the Primals th-cam.com/video/es7rKxsFqpc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fZWcCjbLppVwm6rR
It's Close in the Distance from "Forge Ahead: FINAL FANTASY XIV Arrangement Album".
Nice video ! I dont like the last weapons that much - almost always the third one is the best looking one for me - overall there were a ton cooler relic weapons from older content (ARR or Heavensward has cool looking ones)
agree 100%. these look more like the spruced up version of a extreme trial weapon than relics imo. none of them look all that worth getting to me. will just stick with the second/third stage versions
The first two dark knight ones are sick, and I don't play tanks but it makes me want to play one tho lol, my main is a bard
what armor is used on the DK in the video? (I cant think of it off the top of my head)
It was a pvp exclusive reward from a few seasons ago
Im returning for Dawntrails and I'm really happy the best looking relic for my main job is not on tbe final form
Bard and Dancer got the coolest ones this time ngl… ugh I’m not a fan of either but bard may be another I level 😞
bruh the dancer ones look like beyblades, sold.
Definitely getting the first stage scythe, screw upgrading it.
Dancer Glamour link?
I don’t mind the last stage of the relics but personally I think it peaked with the 3rd stage (design wise)
Why so third stages always look better than final ones? Had something similar in Eureka..
The Majestic SnS design looks like a high-fantasy evolution of the Amazing SnS, and then it just becomes 'RGB GAMING' SnS. I don't dislike the design, but it just doesn't seem very 'relic' to me.
I truly hope relics in Dawntrail are more inspired and less visually similar between classes. The Majestic step was more varied.
i don't like the last step idk feels like it came out of no where maybe
It’s funny, I disliked the look for the final stage at first, but once we got our hands on the Vanguard gear sets in Dawntrail I was rushing to get the GNB relic to match the set. 😂
How do you turn off the glow of the 3rd stage?
You buy a replica without the glow effects.
@@madmrtvola8606 There's no matte version of any of the Mandervillous weapons.
You must wait for 7.0 to release to be able to purchase matted versions much like there are matted versions of the previous step currently
Don't we have one final form after the fourth?
Uhhhhhh showcase... with scions/story characters!?!?!? This must now be the standard every time Desp.
Will be 👍
Can someone tell me the glamour the dancer is wearing
Nehza set with the errant lady's gloves, all mog station gear.
Im so weird i like them all. 😂 They so pretty. I love the omicton esque stuff at thr end
looking back, I actually liked a lot of the 1st phase models...some of then had genuinely good base model designs like whm and drk....shame that the 2nd phase ones looked really out of place in comparison. I do like most of phase 3 and I think it'll have its place in Solution9 for sure.
I think bard got the hugest glow up by far, I absolutely love the bis bow. I also think whm also has a nice design with the cyperpunk-themed flower.
Unfortunately I think sum/sch and ast weapons need some sort of redesign, I just can't think of them being weapons at all...I'm not playing a fantasy game to have shiny-looking books
Warrior axe looks like a spatula
I really dont dig the final stage but the majestic one are well .... indeed majestic
Can we return to a fantasy-based design of things? Its called final fantasy not final effect
Im so disappointed at how the final stage looks the same for all the classes. In fact i was so disappointed that i didnt even realize that it was the final stage. One week away from dawntrail i thought, when will they finally release the final relic quest. Ow man...
I wish they had gone for a more biomechanical look as the final stage. It’d probably be a least a lil less jarring, and also fit the lore of the mandervillous aliens

13:16 milkshake moment 🥛
Gunbreaker final form is just the monado from xenoblade
You can pretty much appreciate the quality of an expansion by looking at the relic weapons.
So we can say that EW was nice, but we had WAY better.

seems to be only the bow has the best final stage
Uhg...I wish the monk relic weapon wasn't so pointy. I do enjoy the color scheme. Oh well.
Gunbreaker just gets the Monado
im only gonna get some relics for the ilevel, the look at the final stages are meh. hopefully next expansions relics will be absolutely awesome!
Big fat tacos, ah big fat tacos, so big.
I'd say Dancer won this time for best looking weapons
MNKbros... what happened? They started winning so much with those dragon fists...
Stupid but what armour is that?
Gunblade and Sage relics look the most appropriate.
I like the hex patterns, they look cool but don't really work for most classes (imo).
i like stage 3 samurai more than 4
No idea what's wrong with old account so had to start over😢. I really don't like all the changes / reworks to the game makes no sense. But.....I love Reaper hehe 😮

and the final stage of the warrior but yeah i find the last stage doesn't fit the whole seris
Am i the only one that thinks reaper relics are far too big?
Nope I felt they were too big as well
That's exactly what i wanted, for it to be big and noticeable, and they delivered on that. Why would you go reaper if you wanted a smaller less noticeable weapon lol?
@@matics28 Reaper is an Agile Job, for the weapon to be bigger than DRK or WAR weapons just feels odd

I took spoiler, Zenos as a reaper ;/
The final stage is just....yikes. Hate that tron look.
whitemage and bard have best designs. fight me
Got about a 50% bad location rate to show these off...bad lighting, features visually merging with the background, etc. Not the best production value and certainly not the best relics visually, but nice collection.
Thank you for your feedback. I actually thought to have increased the Production value a lot and chose basically every zone/dungeon available in Endwalker for a reminiscent journey through the expansion.
I will try to make it even better in dawntrail 👍
These final stages are rough.
It reminds me of Stormblood omega raids with everything all tech like. I really didn't care for those raids. Even tho they tried throwing nostalgia in them. Felt bland, cold, uninspired just like these final relic weapons.
the last stage is such a letdown.. the worst relics ever released IMO they all look the same no creativity whatsoever
Some lend themselves to the change like the Warrior axe, but my god, it takes a cool looking weapon and just shit the bed with it. I love that the 3rd step had the no glowy shit option.
Quite the contrary, those are Verum Rex - like weapons
I mean they don't fit any of my glams unless I go full cyberpunk so ... Yeah it's a thumbs down for me
@@Ardethdelumière final step will also have the Matted version once 7.0 drops. It's the same pattern they did for SHB relics when they released with only glow option prior to 6.0
They look better than the Stormblood, Shadowbringers last stage
Most manderville relics look good. Its a shame they are so hard to grind
I wouldn't say hard to grind, just annoying and long.
They're not even that long tbh, roulettes and hunt trains will take you from stage 1-4 in a few days.
@tomvallieres4241 I guess by "long" I say it in a sense that if you've been playing since 2.x and haven't done Mandeville, you're looking at 7-9 hours IF you're a lore hound. Maybe 2-3 if you don't care about it.
Mandeville takes 0 effort compared to the rest honestly.
ARR you have to do so many random steps that seem to not make sense for new players anymore, HW is no longer a pain but still a heavy poetics cost dump and a couple dungeons to unsync, Eureka can be lengthy the first time because of leveling and needing specific spawns, Bozja has way more steps first time and some are outright a pain like 15 time worn on repeated.
Mandeville is as easy as spamming esc key if you care not for the story and unlocking the vendor to buy the reagents for tomes. Thankfully it's only about 6000 tomes each weapon from first step compared to what poetic amount you need for HW relics.
It's so easy you can finish a weapon step a day or two purely by doing your daily roulette no problem. 900 a day or more if you get lucky in some roulette. The most passive weapon grind imaginable.
@@italian504 not even that. You could get a full weapon in a day if after you do all your roulette, hunting, and you your lvl 90 random dungeon. That's easily at the end of day.
I understand people can have opinions, but holy shit I’ll still be rattled by your taste if you think
homogenisation of the relic designs are satisfactory.
I love when the final stage relics have a unified look, means a person can tell they are weapons from the same series, realistically why would they look different if the same dude made all with the same methods and materials?
@@Zakharon yeah the final looks way too different
