The Bozjan Front is lousy, lazy content

The aesthetic of Bozja was awful. Worst looking areas in the game.

I would say I generally enjoy Bozja (and actually really like DR) but I mostly agree with these two points. It really feels like you should have at least been able to earn/buy permanent versions of the essences. I mean, we get so many of the various Bozjan coins anyway, and the use for Clusters is fairly limited, so why not just put a Permanent Essence of each type in as a Coin/Cluster vendor item. The Actions are fairly similar. I can absolutely see limiting their use numbers but since we're already limited by carrying capacity it feels sort of weird that they're also consumable. You can already have hundreds of an action but the game limits you to carrying X number at one time so why not just make available ones that aren't consumable.

And yeah, the environment design is a common complaint but it's one I agree with completely. I can understand the design in the Southern Front so while it's ugly, it's ugly on purpose... but that doesn't necessarily mean the whole zone has to be basically look the same. And Zadnor just feels really boring. Neither zone felt interesting or inspiring at all to spend time in so if I didn't generally enjoy their content I would have avoided them like the plague.

I'd answer YES

I agree, but I could call most of the content at this point lazy or uninspired.

Bozja feels like them trying to refine eureka to not be the absolute worst thing ever created, when they should have just let it rot and done something else in my opinion. "Eureka content" is just kind of broken and tedious by design, and I'm not sure how anyone can enjoy it personally. More power to those that do, though.

Will say that castrum and delibrum did actually feel pretty cool and unique to run through, though. Would have preferred more effort to go into that instead of having these big empty zones with nothing to do but fates in them.

Also definitely agree that they look bad. Zadnor in particular looks like we're walking on the moon with how it's nothing but grey ground and bumps, who needs endwalker when we have Zadnor lol.
