The writers just decided that they where not going to be long-term characters in whatever they have lined up. It sucks when that happens to characters you like (I still miss you Moenbryda...) but it happens. I wonder if the complaints about the Four Fiends would be the same if they where unique FFXIV creations, or if some are putting them on pedestals just because of their legacy.
    I feel that if their back stories were part of the MSQ we'd have more people complaining about the pace these last two patches. Along with how much more filler they'd both feel like. This is the XIV community when hasn't it put things on absurdly high pedestals only to get grouchy when something doesn't meet their expectations.

    That's why I just approach everything as it's own stand-alone thing, even if it's from another game. "oh neat, they added this" is about all I go into it.





    Remember the outrage when fenrir was "just a dungeon boss"? People expected it to be some huge summon/major boss thing because of XI.....

    This is how I go about it. I'm just glad we get to see these characters in different views in this game. IV and VIII are my top two FF's. Being able to see the Fiends and Eden in whatever capacity they're added in, is good enough for me.

    Don't forget Anima. The fact that they showed it off should've been a clue it wasn't going to be a trial. They tend to keep those things to themselves.
