    No, but they weren't leading anyone astray with bozja being a wasteland, as for dalamud, it kinda had bahamut in it at the time.

    And Bahamut being asleep in it is somehow more destructive than him adding to it all the explosive power of being very much awake?

    Again, look at the effect on Cartenau. Almost nothing. Look at the effect on the nearby regions. Aetheric interference and some debris. It didn't turn anything into a featureless grey that wasn't already featureless and grey.

    That Bozja is featureless and grey is because they wanted it to be featureless and grey. All precedents point elsewhere.

    (Yes, I realize there are some areas that actually retains some features and variance in color, more in keeping with all we see among other areas destroyed by Dalamud. I've obviously no issues with those areas. Tbh, nor do I have much issue with the rest; I just think it's backwards to think that the art team had no control over the setting and was instead solely applying the hand they were dealt by lore... that was mostly generated likely well after Bozja's concept was.)

    One was concentrated the other was spread apart, it did turn Ishgard into a frozen wasteland if anything.
    and while I get your point, one way or another they decided to go for a wasteland and the lore was estabilished for it within a reasonable timeframe imo.

    BSF is totally the content for me. Some QoL improvement would be nice, but it’s a boon to my personal satisfaction. Eureka is also the same, albeit to less extent.

    Thanks for sharing your opinion, though.

    I think Zandor was better overall but southern bozja was garbage and still garbage even with the nerf. The biggest mistake was made when SE decide to combine two content (potd and eureka) in one. They need to put POTD 3.0. Afterward, make some sort open world thing where you have option to grind (FATES/COLLECTING/CRAFTING) with daillies grind who gives a certain amounts of tokens for crafting/gathering/weapons relics (aka lazy person).

    Like exemple, I'm collecting items as a miner to exchange for DOW tokens for my drg relic, however the grind is long tedious because 100 items give me 1 DOW token. Meanwhile if you do it for gathering relics it's like 3 DOL tokens because it's gathering.
