Sometimes it's hard to tell what they intended. Was it immersion? Well, why isn't it solo?
Is it epic boss fights? Well why are there so many cut scenes between them, and why do they give you gear that makes the fights pretty much null and void as far as mechanics?
Was it the cut scenes that were suppose to blow your socks off as an ending to ARR? Well again why not make it solo so no one gets held up or a ruined experience?
Was it all of the above? Well that's uh... Good intentions, but borderline impossible to execute in an MMO.

These two dungeons just sort of highlight that at the time, even after saving the game the devs seriously did not understand MMO's as deeply as they should have.
