So, how is Pagos?

This is the most boring content I have ever played.

Better luck next time, SE.

And also at the end of the day, most people here will ultimately still end up playing Pagos. And the next one. And the next one. And the next one....

I was able to get through Anemos with minimal issue. Disliked being there, but it didn't feel to bad to progress. Pagos though... I don't like it at all. Not only is the beginning area just a bunch of white with a few green here and there, it's so unbelievably slow. Just being there mentally fatigues me, which happened in Anemos too, but it was tolerable. I just want out of Pagos after around half an hour, because I feel like i'm not progressing at all even if all i did during the whole lockout was kill mobs, which is basically all you can do anyway.

Something is seriously wrong with the dev team. There's no way they can look at Anemos, see the complaints, and then make Pagos exactly the same, but somehow worse at the same time. Sure, it can be that Pagos was too deep in development to change, but I rather take a delay (again) for good actual content than kill mobs in a different area.

I don't really consider the official forums a place where the devs read our comments and complaints. They can get enough of that when they play the content themselves on their private characters in the real game. I view the forums more of a self help / support group where we can complain among each other to help ourselves feel better. :)

Well, I suppose they will listen if a thread reaches 50,000 posts or something crazy like that in a few days or less. But I doubt we will get to levels such as that for this content. It would require something more like nerfing warriors to get a ground swell of such proportions.

Anyone know what the japanese playerbase thinks of pagos?

I really don't understand it.

Why do they make this content worse and worse? Eureka is not fun. It's not fun at low levels, it's not fun at high levels, it's not fun solo, it's not fun in a group.

It discourages playing it. And then they make the next step not only locked behind their current grindfest... but even more of the same, with even worse grinding time?

Supposedly they do listen to the forums, but I think it’s mostly to the JP forums.

I'm sorry, but I don't need to convince you.
But If you want to judge the content before completing it, go ahead. I saw a lot of fus and BS about Eureka Anemos in the first day that were a lot exaggerated. Saying that the content was empty, nothing to do there, just mob grind and bla bla. They said they would not bother eureka, but at the end they leveled up to lvl 20, and are here complaining again with pagos. Guess what? They will be 35 at Logos and will complain about Logos too, in the launch day.
Enjoy your time here judging content that you didn't complete know anything about.
I'm loving pagos, it's something to do, long term based.

For those that are interested - there is a whopping total of 2 pages on the Japanese forums about Pagos. The only posts worth mentioning is that people seem to agree that Pagos is... too bright. And that the Happy Bunnies are stupid.

Something interesting to note is that while browsing other random pages in the thread, there seemed to be quite a few people who actually never liked Eureka in the first place. So much for the Japanese just being goo-goo gaga for mob grinding.

If you could pull the glitter off of your eyes that would be great. EVERYONE here knows exactly how anemos played out, and so far other than adding (seemingly pointless) bunny fates that give no exp it is playing out the same, only grindier. A lot of people want new relic weapons for glamour (or even general use) but it doesn't mean we enjoy the process. I made 8 anima weapons, Eureka has been a miserable experience.
