Personally don't mind FATEs, but I will point out that for the Zodiac Relic you needed Atma FATEs, Animus Book FATEs (which required waiting for a specific FATE to spawn), and Alexandrite Grinding FATE runs if you wanted to finish in any real time as Novus took a lot of them before you could buy maps.

So 3 steps there, Anima was different, and made people hate the dungeons and tome grind instead.
