And continued...

Now, I understand that the devs want FATEs to be played, thats fine by me, so long as they are meaningful and add something special. Remember when Lightning would show up at certain times during the marketing for Lightning Returns? What about when Shantotto somehow managed to cross over into Eorzea and be compared on a threat level to the Calamity, or the time when Golems from Dragon Quest popped in. Those were great fun in my opinion (I'm not sure what everyones feelings are on those FATEs though).

It would've been neat if the FATEs that dropped these Atma were changed in someway, lets say, a Voidsent suddenly appeared in place of those Raptors in the Central Shroud, or if Odin showed up in Thanalan, what if the low level FATEs such as Alux got a power boost and instead of Lv10, it became Lv25? That would be a real visual indicator that these FATEs held something different.

Sadly though what we have is quite a boring zerg rush coupled along with ridiculous RNG.
