There's that too.

Splitting the story made both wars feel rushed. And the Doma part was baffling to me.

We go there to INCITE rebellion so that the XIIth legion has to fight on two fronts. But by the time we leave we've LIBERATED it and then when we return to gyr abania for 'act three' it feels like we start to steamroll through the empire, with only a momentary setback by the cannon firing in the peaks.

4.1 in and of itself I liked, but 4.2 and 4.3 took what could have been an itneresting story but for me the story was an utter flop because of how Yotsuyu and Asahi were handled. The good news is I liked 4.4 a bit more even though a certain reveal about a certain ascian has me kind of peeved. So I have hope things may iprove in 4.5 into 5.0, but it's too late to really save 4.0 from feeling rushed. The Lochs especially felt like we rushed through with half the zone still untouched outside of maybe the occsional hunt monster.
