Please no more Eureka!

[Beckett]

You clearly have no idea how battle design works. Forgetting the new attacks and animations, battle content needs to be scripted, balanced, and tested. While I agree with you that Eureka took more assets, the whole content series is an experiment that benefits the game even if its a failure. The logogram system, the magia board system, the public dungeon system, and the open world instance system can all be reused in different ways now, and wouldn't exist without Eureka.

The battle design argument goes out the window now that BA exists.

Come to think of it, there's also all the FATE bosses in every zone. And while I'm sure developing fight mechanics for a FATE boss is far less effort than an Ultimate fight, there are a lot of FATE bosses that all had to have effort put into their mechanics.

Well, since they decided not to do an Ultimate for 4.5 because, officially, it was too stressful for the playerbase (/sigh), they probably redirected those ressources to design the Arsenal. So, the argument could still stand for all past zones.

As for FATEs boss, I barely started Hydatos yet, but for the three previous zones, no boss really have any new mechanic, so I think they're pretty cheap to design.

Also, I enjoyed Eureka a lot more than the ARR and HW relic grinds. Those seriously made me want to gouge my eyes out.

They're the reason why I never purposefuly farmed Tomestones in SB. I can count the number of Expert Roulettes I did since 4.0 on one hand.
