I like both first and foremost for the grind, in Eureka with every NM killed it felt as if you were getting closer and closer to your goal of a new weapon and potentially Armour, this is how you design a good grind, make it so the players efforts are rewarded gradually, and don't make it feel like they're working towards nothing with bad RNG. The social aspect is another thing I enjoy, I detest miserable people who can't be fcked to say Hello or GG at the beginning or end of a dungeons, in Bozja and especially Eureka people are always talking about something.
Now all that applies to both, but honestly it applies more to 5.X Eureka as holy hell Sqeenix has made some bloody stupid decisions with Bozja.
First off, why does it feel like I'm working towards nothing when trying to get my artifact weapon? I did over 2 dozen CE's yesterday and got 1 loathsome memory, and I didn't even think I got a single red memory. And why is it faster to run years old, synced 50 content that everyone is sick of? Its boring, you feel like your playtime in Bozja is worthless because of the terrible RNG, its not like old school JRPG's and Eureka where you constantly feel like you're working toward a goal, instead it feels as if you're throwing sh t at the wall and hoping it sticks for hours on end.
And that's just the weapons, of you wanna get dyeable Judge Magister Armour added in the patch, you have to augment the base Bozja gear, so that's potentially hundreds if not thousands of coins for a set or two, and even with earning coins from FATEs it is still slow as all hell as your earn a whopping 1 coin from skirmishes and I think 3 from CE's, oh and Castrum for coins? Yeah, good bloody luck more then likely you'll wipe because noobs didn't watch a guide for months old content and fail at a boss. But that's not all, you also need to do the new 48 man savage likey multiple times for one piece, so you could be stuck running one of what seems to be the hardest piece of content to pog because of the sheer amount of people required! And you'll likey need to do it dozens of times over the course of days, if not weeks.
Oh, and then there's the whole losing XP that turns people off, I'm more on the fence about this as you earn little for dying and can't level down, can't level down at max either, but I can definitely see how this would turn people off.
So it all comes down to Bozjas grind being worthless compared years old content, I've given up on the relic weapons, I don't play CT raids, and I'm sure as he'll not getting the materials from Bozja. Will try to get some armour though, at bare minimum the caster chest, but the only reason why is just because I adore the Judge Magister Armour, and if this were literally any other piece of armour I'd just skip it, savage and EX can be a bloody nightmare thanks to some of the people you get, not to mention the ridiculous coin grind, so who the heck even knows if ill end up getting it after all.
