We have midcore content... just too little too late.

That's not what I'm saying, so of course you don't understand.

You're saying that people rush content which is the actual reason they have nothing to do. I'm saying the content doesn't last long enough unless you purposely take forever to do it. What's else is there to understand here?

It can't go in earlier because the main MSQ story takes up a lot of time and has to come first.

The current relic step is literally use Astronomy tomes and buy them. It doesn't take even the slightest amount of time to program that. Godbert has almost no real purpose whatsoever and they didn't need to tie the relic to Hildibrand for this initial step. Both ARR and HW had the relic beginning much earlier, which is the formula they've outright said they're basing EW's relic on.

It's ridiculous that the only grind oriented content releases over a year into the expansion's life cycle.

It doesn't take the slightest amount of time to "program" all those cutscenes in the story? lol. Tell me you skip without using the words. You truly have no shame and will say anything at this point.

Eh that has always been the case since Eureka though - in term of the first step takes very little effort to do. Also, I bet in this case it was intended so people who have never done Hildi on their main, or people playing alt can have time to catch up on the quest line just to start. I never do the Hildi passed the 2.0 line on my main, and my 3 alts never even touch it. So ... yeah, I kinda glad there isn't another absurd grind for the first step after I "grind" through 8 years worth of side quest multiple times.


The real grind doesn't come until the last 2 steps. Personally? I'll take it. Much prefer this than the 2.0 and 3.0 Fate train just to start on a new weapon.
