What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Narthice]

not impressed either, not gonna lie. I did both ARR and heavensward relics, I don't think I might do this one. This is so mindless I've nearly fell asleep. I'm sorry I just don't like it so far. Will try again later today, maybe I'm missing something, but I doubt my opinion will change on this. Good luck to those enjoying it

Feels like they stepped backward having to form your own parties in the dino island zerg than being matched with people like diadem. Seeing how parties get you kills faster which means faster chains leading to more chances at loot don't know why they didn't just partner people up. Other than that not impressed with dumping us into a literal zergfest to start us off. At this point I am just hoping the nms are close to rani and absolute virtue difficulty from ffxi but that is a pipe dream.

Just killed a NM, yielded 2400 XP, a few lockboxes and anemos crystals. But it was a zergfest too.

Yeah, there are no fates at all. It's Diadem 1.0 but you can kinda solo it now.

There are fates though, they just don't spawn often.

An absolute flop, I couldn't last longer than an hour. Won't be returning.

The rewards are also really bad for the thousands of hours needed to accquire said bad gear. (dyeable af, woopedy do).

Probably not, but - did it tick towards your hunt achievements?

I don't know I didn't check. I don't think so because it is counted as some sort of fate (was visible on the whole map).

Honestly its just killing mobs in a field. Theres not much variety in gameplay there which kind of gets tedious. Theres a sense of progression, but even what you get from it is lacking because theres better gear available even for casual players at this stage.

Unfortunately, there are always "those" kinda people who LOVE this kind of mindless grind. I asked around and there are frighteningly many who are okay with this horrible, lazy content. For me, after non-stop killing the same group of enemies for almost 2h with laughable rewards and the prospect of doing this for months and months and months to get some relic gear....nah, skip and pretend it doesnt exist....just like PvP and diadem

[Tiath]

My first impressions are that it's a horrible solo-unfriendly forced-grouping grinding hellhole.

To clarify, I don't mind grinding - I loved doing the zodiac and anima weapon quests... and have really missed having a similar questline in Stormblood.

If this is the answer then they've completely missed the point (at least for me).

Does anyone actually like it or has had fun there?

Well, coming back to edit this now I've got to level 20 and got my relic.

I've really had fun in Eureka - meeting new people and telling bad jokes :P
Even the FATE train is kinda fun too.

At first it's a bit daunting and doesn't look like fun... but it's all about the people.
Can't wait for the next one!

[Mesarthim]

Would have liked if it was more solo friendly. I'm all for it being party efficient but I basically can't earn any protean crystals when alone (excluding the fact it takes nearly 80-90 seconds for me to kill anything), all for like 55 exp from a level 3 mob AND you need 5060 for 3-4.

Relic stuff is known for being grindy but is this too much, even comparing atmas?

[Lambdafish]

I like it, there seems to be a foreshadowing of more to come when I get to higher levels. For once we have a piece of content that doesn't hand hold, and makes you work for your reward.
