Can't say as I do relate, honestly.

I spent the majority of yesterday after work farming for the items from the new Variant dungeon, still need to hop in to swipe a few more items. Today I'm going to work through BLU and collecting the new spells, and making a start on the brilliant tools after I clear up my inventory.

Across the next day after that I'll continue working on the brilliant tools, probably finishing them, and then work through the other relic weapons, probably through Palace of the Dead to begin with so I can finish getting the remaining Padjali weapons, before going back to hunt trains for the rest - I'd have liked a one-time only step which isn't just the completion of Hildibrand quests. I'll be running through the fishing log during this as well.

For me, that's worth the subscription cost, and doesn't have me AFK at my house or FC house within 30 minutes of the patch.
