Heaven on High: That's it?

[CorbinDallas]

"People expected meaningful improvements and distinct reiteration? These fools..."

Perhaps if each of the same issues weren't already mentioned in regards to PotD, only to be repeated verbatim in HoH, you might have a point. But...

Except they did make meaningful improvements. The weapons aren't punishing to purchase anymore, only needing 10/10 per hilt instead of blowing 90/90 in one go for a Kinna weapon. They've also streamlined entry into challenge mode, only requiring 10 floors to get in instead of 50, which took ages. Challenge mode itself ramps up much quicker than it did in PotD, which was a snooze until you hit roughly 151, that's 100 floors before it got interesting, compared to HoH's 30 or so (21-50). Challenge mode itself is much quicker to progress through now, doubly so thanks to the new pomanders which are actually fun and interesting to use, not to mention the magicite being a free floor pass. Fewer variations of loot bags, so there's less junk to clog your inventory. Experience rate will shoot up soon as people start hitting the synced aetherpool and actually use magicite on things other than bosses, which die in less than a minute anyway.

HoH isn't perfect for sure, but it's a damn sight better than Palace ever was, anyone who doesn't think so is foolish in my opinion.

Those FFVI style (sorta) summonings via Magicite are so gratifying...

I still can't believe they can't just scrap the egi system and do a quick rework to the smn rotation let us summon the primals like this......just add them to the bahamut rotation. We don't even want different roles for them, we just want to summon them and see their unique special finishers.
Yoshida please hear us.....Summoner is such an important job in FF.

Fair enough. If the model itself seemed decent enough to you previously, then I could see why this would seem an upgrade worthy of the time taken.

Though, on the other hand I can certainly see why to others they'd feel a fair bit like, say, an improvement to the Glamour Dresser when you could have had open Appearance slots and freely swappable sets therein instead: so long as the fundamental concept seems jarringly lackluster, the polish feels irrelevant.
