Why are some people "disappointed" by the 6.X patch story?

1. That all trials are contained within the story made it very predictable as to how it was going to end up, either 1 of 2 ways, double Golbez or Golbez + a sacrificial dragon, when I saw the pacing the route was plainly obvious to where I was just waiting for him to do it. - I will say if they do continue this route, I can't see the story itself being overly enthusiastic in future post-expansion patches.

I don't know, with a richer story, this could totally work. To me the problem lie with the fact that structure is not fit for the current story. But overall, I agree with you.

With a richer story that isn't involving the conclusion of an arc -- Maybe. But overall with such a short space between trials it is just generally going to lead to less flushed-out development with encounters -- Either this or too many things happening at once. Neither of which I think is particularly good, but we'll see.
