Personally, would've preferred less Elpis and more Moon.

I've said this before, in another thread, but it does feel as if they intended for more to happen there. The pre-launch trailer and cinematic placed quite some emphasis on it and it feels as if more was supposed to happen there.

Though I guess it's possible that we'll have to go back there at some point, particularly since that fountain of dark Aether that Zodiark left behind may end up being significant to our upcoming jaunt to the 13th.
