Unpopular opinion on island sanctuarys.

[Raikai]

It is dead end content with no real meaning or progression or lasting impacts on the game.

You go around clicking 1 node at a time for hours on end, Even upgrading your Tools to a higher tier doesn't help gathering.

You fill out your supply sheet for 2 weeks and then visit it once per day to harvest crops, tend to animals and send followers out on missions (Lmao garrisons anyone).

Gameplay wise, some people will enjoy this, i won't deny that. Personally, i find this incredibly boring when there is already a better Gathering/Crafting system in the game tied to actual progression.

Will i continue doing island sanctuary? yes, but only checking it once per day until i get bored of doing even that.

Daily 'Chores' are something i try to escape from in MMO's, The only good thing is i can drop it at any point and not have it affect my characters progression.

I'll admit that is not for me either, especially because it's not housing per se, which was the only possibility that could interest me.

The other reason I would do the contect is the rewards... Currently, I don't really like the hairstyles and the glamours/mount doesn't really fit my character's aesthetic (Roleplayer). The materia is easier to obtain somewhere else.

However, they hinted that Islands will receive future updates, which may bring stuff that I'm actually into. For that reason, I'll get myself to do it eventually when I'm bored with everything else, especially because it doesn't seem to be the kind of content that they would add QoL "catch-up" mechanics in the future when it gets more stuff or another zone.

Basically how i feel, the hairstyles ill unlock over time, no rush for them.

Just another daily chore to add to the list of slowly growing stuff i have missed.. *Looking at you moogle tribe quests*

Oh, I'm still needing to finish Moogle tribe quests...

That's another thing that I'm usually not into, but I do little by little ever since ShB. Like, I may not like anything from the Arkasodara tribe... not the minion or the mount, nor I have anything to level at that range to benefit from the experience... But once in a while I do them because I'm sure I'll need that maxed out for the eventual 6.5 quest that will require all EW Tribes maxed out.

I remember in SB really wanting the /gratuity emote, but then I had to retroactively max out every Tribe and it was a PAIN.
