New Relic weapon quest - are we down to 1 hour content already?

[Videra]

You don't need to do new content immediately and rush rush rush, and do note, there are other things to do and see in the patch. Also to note, #.5 patches like the end of Heavensward and Stormblood. Notably short and make the wait feel longest before the next expansion.

Not every patch needs to be a massive dump. That was, in fact, what was changed post Heavensward to keep a steady and maintainable update cycle. This is not a 4.# patch, so it is to be expected to be not as huge as a main patch.

And FYI, the Hatchling Tide event is an amazing lore dump. Far from minimalist because you can't appreciate it.

As much as I am a roleplayer, cutscenes are not gameplay. Just as well, there was no 'rush rush rush' attitude to take with this, it's literally content that's completed within one setting. If you're going to post hot takes, please, at least try not to be cripplingly wrong.
