The dungeons of Endwalker.

I felt like the two towers were really repetitive. They kind of had no way around this because they had to wrap up the whole story they started with Fandaniel in 5.4, but I felt like we already understood most of what we needed to about these things back in 5.5 and didn't really need to trek through two of them out of only 5/6/8 leveling/story/total dungeons this time. Vanaspati also felt really boring to me for similar reasons - I know they wanted to drive home that the calamity has come to the present day, but it just felt like "oh, more of the mouth monsters from Amaurot."

On the other hand, I really liked all the dungeons after that, and The Dead Ends is almost as good a story-ending dungeon as Amaurot was last time. Getting to do Ktisis Hperboreia with the non-Scion trusts was also really fun.

I sort of see where you're coming from.

But honestly Babil didn't feel that repetitive. Especially since the first 2/3 of it felt more like a garlean facility than the tower of Zot. It was really only the final area that started to feel like the other towers. Ultimately I'm glad we only go to two of the towers though.

Leveling dungeons aside, I really enjoyed Smileton.

You're totally right that it's different inside, I think I just felt that way going in from the story at the time, like "we've only had two dungeons and they're going to be the same thing in a row?"
