Why Eden is not MSQ?

On this expansion fells a real waste of nice content.

Same reason Binding Coil wasn't part of the MSQ in spite of directly tying into it at later junctions, same with the Crystal Tower. They need side content to pad out the story and sometimes it doesn't always fit the pacing or the desired focus of the immediate story to add it into the main story.

Any particular reason why making it MSQ instead of a raid would be better? Anythign other than "I don't like raiding".

Yes, but in this time in the end of the MSQ. Show then going on that direction, and in others expansion that wasn’t the case if i’m not missing something.
Also in all cases fells it was a waste but in this case it may change the world not only a certain location.

Well they create savage for the ones that like raiding, so everyone can have the same story experience.

They've obviously got other things in mind for the MSQ. Dealing with Elidibus and Zenos immediately comes to mind.

There is a high chance Eden may become one of those "will happen no matter what" events with the only difference being if WoL took part in it or not.

For Crystal Tower story we know it happens no matter what but the difference is that WoL did not get involve or did get involved in team NOAH.

For Eden's case it may focus on Ryne, Thancred, and Urianger resolved Eden's events without WoL's help if WoL "choose" not to do Eden Raid thus anything Eden related will then only mention Ryne, Thancred, and Urianger but if WoL does take part a 3rd Dialogue option opens that will result in a alternate dialogue including WoL.

They are exploring Alternate Dialogue paths now with 5.0 expansion which we see in the MSQ.

You can think of it as a spin-off MSQ chain.

I imagine we wont actually do that until 6.0, when we figure out a way to get our buddies off the first.

"We know you expected to go to Garlemald and finish that storyline, but please take this detour so we can go there next expansion instead".

The Crystal Tower (as well as Alexander and Omega) aren't a matter of if the WoL was present, but of WHEN they were present. The implication is that your WoL WILL do it, or would have in the alt future, at some point. The question is just whether you had already done them all already or if it was at some unknown time in the soon to be future.
