    I don't really want to hear any feedback about how you think they are easy or how you like them.
    Well that's exactly the feedback you need to read.

    I'm noticing your join date is this very month. We're only 5 days into the month, and you're already doing level 80 content.

    Now they allow skips and all that - but this is kinda why it's a bad idea.

    Two things to note here:

    Skill in the game for you might not be where it should be for the content you're now doing. Skill comes with practice, and that takes time.

    And 2, the story is something you either skipped or rush-played through. So you don't have emotional attachment to it. As someone who played through this over the years - the very quest you're noting was a major high point for me, and for a lot of others as well. Characters we had grown to be strongly invested in became characters we got to control and play, if only for a short moment. And it is a 'call back' to Final Fantasy tradition where characters you meet in the story become members of your playable cast.

    If you put more time into the story and the game, this content would have been too easy for you, as it was for many of us. And your frustration would have swung the other way - that you only got to play them for so short a time.

    This content was driven by us, the community. This was Yoshi-P giving us long requested fan service. If you took more time with the journey, you would probably have been excited by it. Maybe not as much as those of us who rode the hype train of wanting it for many years, but you'd have some of that hype going into it, and probably more skill in playing the game to be able to know how to handle what, for a player that plays at a normal pace to that level, doing all the assorted dungeons and trials that teach how to spot what to do, would have been easy content.
