Those are the things that do stick out. And you'll see as you get to them. While not all the dungeons are of the same quality of the First 2, many of them have unique mechanics. And things like the Trials where there are all kinds of innovative things in there including Real Time interactions and Duty Action buttons specific to the Trial or Raid.

And I'm not going to mince words here, the Ivalice Series of Raids remains deadly even with Shadowbringer gear because some of the mechanics are so deadly they still cause full raid wipes. Despite a new expansion you can't really outgear those. Exception being the very first one. The rest are still intense sometimes.

The Omega Raids are odd but fun because of this.

So from a gameplay standpoint, the content is solid... but the MSQ and storyline... well that seriously subpar.
Yeah for all my story gripes about SB, gameplay wise it was good. Even Eureka wasn't too bad (outside of Pagos good god)
