The old HM Primals are STILL required for MSQ????

[Stepjam]

This is exactly what I meant. Not that they're hard or that all old dungeons etc should be taken away "because story" like someone seemed to exaggerate my venting as, but that it's an unnecessary wall that suddenly hits you out of nowhere, and has nothing to do with the story at that point in MSQ.

The reason is because Thancred, Y'shtola, and Papalymo/Yda give you the quests, and they can't remain in the waking sands indefinitely like Urianger can.

They could of course give the quests to someone else to give out, buuuut I'm okay with them staying in. They are good for new players to see how trials will work from then on. Being dropped into King Mog as their first 8man could be overwhelming, but to replay 3 familiar fights but with harder mechanics and more players is a good way to ease into hard trials.

In that case they should've added that MSQ wall earlier I think. At the moment it happens before Keeper of the Lake, which means people have already done Mog, Leviathan, Ramuh and Shiva by the time they're forced to do the other 3.

These were quite easy. Queueing as DPS was 5 minutes at most.

It was a bit weird in this part. The NPCs that give the quests are in two places at once, and the story has already moved to a point that Uri is all alone in the walking sands. These NPCs are in the inn at this point.
