Not only that, but in the stream they basically said they need to work out how to balance the AI to handle dungeon mechanics. It could end up being just another dead end they mentioned once and then never actually follow up on because it ends up being too difficult to actually implement.

Can't wait to summon a primal with my squadron!

It was already known that at best we wouldn't be taking them into dungeons and the like until 4.0. This atleast makes it more likely to happen then, well, primal summoning.

Given how the UI is designed, I'm actually hoping that this may lead to some sort of content/mini-game where you'll get to command the squadrons FF Tactics style, with your own character joining them as a leader unit. Picking classes for your squad would matter quite a lot then.

Only a crackpot dream though...

Well this lays the foundation. There are many ways to build on it.

Gee boy howdy, I wonder how much content you can slap that tagline onto that came out during 3.x

And I wonder how many of them we'll be looking back to with a passing thought of "Oh yeah, whatever happened to that one thing?"

Glad this expansion was so keen on delivering so much groundwork, maybe next expansion we might actually see the framework? Can't rush bringing out meaningful content with meat just yet; SO PLEASE LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

Not suprised, most of the new features were pretty underwhelming, its like SE has this amazing idea, but they only add the bare minimum.

Probably, because he/she realy likes this game, but does not like the recent features, which were pretty underwhelming to be honest. I reckon that Lewtskie, just wants that the developers release features that are more complete and less menu-based.

I could be wrong though about his/her reasons, but what I am sure off is, if someone likes something they will complain about it, if they did not care, they would have uninstalled and moved on.

Nope, you're assessment was spot on. It's a shame that people will immediately assume any criticism means I must hate it. I don't; obviously I don't or I wouldn't be subbed. But all these recent side additions to the game have been "Decent/Poor as is, has room to be better" and it's rather bothersome. At this point, as we're looking back everything has been a prime example of quantity over quality. 3.x has been just a constant testing ground. Feels like I'm playing the Beta stage of a game sometimes.
