Don't forget about those three little mini add ons that focus on stories - before the infamous Abyssea came out - these story based expansion got the worst reviews since it basically the same rehash crap that made you run around in circles and reward you with a measly 3 gears - but hey at least you get to "adventure" in circles and visit those areas in the game that have been neglected.

If I cared that much about loot I'd probably be happy with the 100% endgame focus we're getting.

In my personal opinion, the biggest problem with the three mission add-ons was the game-breaking BCNM fights. If it weren't for that sharp spike in difficulty (from level ~30 to level ~76+ in one step) half-way through each of them, I'd say they'd make a good model for new storyline content going forward.

As things are now, the results of the last census, showing everyone was up to but not through the final fights of each, didn't surprise me in the least.
