It takes about 1 hour to get, provided you have the Poetics ready, 3 relic weapons. Of that 1 hour, the vast majority is watching cutscenes, with just one pretty cool-looking long solo instance - which apparently can even be put on Very Easy so that the moderately cool fights (of which there are only 2) are also semi-AFK wins.
Is this the level of content we are down to now, SE? 1hour to not just invalidate the entire weapon tier from Ruby (for most classes, sorry GNB), and hand out multiple relics, but also to have content that is so uninspired, boring and non-interactive? Half the writing is atrocious and boring, and the instance (which, again, is a good piece of content by current standards) is much more style over substance.
People need content to sink their teeth into. We need playtime, after you drained so much out of the game with the 5.x patches already (shortening almost every progression, levelling process and gearing substantially was bad for the game already), we want to be entertained, not just passively watching the same NPCs from the last 6 years to spam well-known emotes in cutscenes without voiceover, blathering lines full of magitek mumbo jumbo that we have all heard before. And then the weapons are just freely given out to everyone.
I sincerely hope the Ex trial provides more fun tonight, even though the gear is (as usual) released already outdated and more or less worse than the free stuff all of us already got handed to us in the easy Eden version.
Along with the Easter Event, we are looking at a truly bleak, sad, minimalist effort on behalf of the company that just half a year ago released an amazing expansion - and now seriously botches the lifecycle.
EVERY OTHER RELIC WEAPON QUESTLINE was better than this. EASILY.
