ARR was pure fluff set-up without resolution. Throwing out as many concepts as possible and seeing which ones land for future quests/stories. But 90% of all of them go through the same "Zero to Hero" routine.

And yes, again, I get it: you don't like G'raha. He's the symbol of everything wrong with the game, apparently. But, for better or worse, you are in a substantial minority.
What does being a minority have anything to do with anything? So what a minority isn’t allowed to have an opinion? Why even comment on that lol. As far as fluff….i don’t think ARR was anywhere near fluff, at least when compared to ShB and EW. Back then the game and it’s characters actually had consequences for their actions and stakes. Nowadays it’s literally nothing but fluff lunch dates and tea sipping.
