Also, my Kikoku would like to have a word with you and this joke about relic weapons in XIV.

SKY and SEA were not the same.
Neither was Limbus and Dynamis.
Nor Salvage or Assault.
Besieged (mostly for fun)
Empty Notorious Monsters
Burning Circle NM's
NM hunting for gear
Einherjar
Nyzule Isle investigations
Abyssea
Skirmish
Ambuscade
& Delve
Also Campaign which is in the same category as Besieged

Out of ALL that was listed, only Sky and Sea were similar, but spawned specific monsters in different ways (or coming down overhead from the sky).
Proccing weapons or skills and magic skills in Abyssea was a much different system still added to the NM system with spawns.
Now, these all came out in different expansions, but there was never the exact same thing twice on paper in the same .5 updates. They were all in different areas.
You didn't even NEED to progress in the MSQ for each of the expansions to gain access to the content either. It was available at a certain point in the story.
The rest was history or extra, or for things like earrings for your equipment and content.
I played and still do play XI, I have been playing since 2004 with breaks during that time.
