He clearly said that the majority of the playerbase, as announced by SE (and which I am inclined to believe as well), had never completed the CoP mission line before the nerfs which took place long before Abyssea had even been announced. Of those who did manage to complete them pre-nerf, of which I doubt you are one, most people completed missions so far apart from one another that the continuity of the storyline was lost in the shuffle.

It doesn't matter how good a story is if you're seeing it piece by piece over the course of months. WotG only aggravated this problem further, taking 3 years to complete the main mission line.

I completed CoP from start to finish 8-4 in a period of around 2~ months. The storyline and difficult battles were the best part. I don't whine and complain about difficulty level. If I wasn't smart enough to figure out how to defeat a certain boss/battlefield, then it's MY mistake and I need to re-evaluate what I did wrong and figure out the solution.

Chains of Promathia: Climbing the Promyvions at Lv30 cap. Fighting the minotaur in the aqueducts. Heading into Riverne Site A and B to at Lv40 and 50 caps. Fighting the Dragon after the Bahamut Cut-Scene and using Mistmelts to prevent him from flying. The Attowha Chasm mountain climb with the Miasma Filter and then the Shikaree Mithra Battle. The Travelling to Oldton Movapolos. The Airship Battles. Ulegrand Range Snoll... So much...

All of them challenging battles and interconnecting the main plot very well.


Abyssea: "Oh shi-, the gates of Oblivion are open!... Uhh, I mean... the gates of Abyssea have opened!"
