A reminder that Ala Mhigo ise still useless

[RitsukoSonoda]

Have to admit, the story does fall down a bit here. It's like "let's liberate this ever-so important city... so we can forget about it once we have!"

Is that any different than the "lets build this fabled weapon of legend... so we can discard it for a generic weapon once we find out there is a thing happening at this new place."

Games have always had their varying degrees of nonsense lol.

They could make a new housing zone in Ala Mhigo.

Well, that IS true....

Although I do still see where the OP is coming from. I mean, once Stormblood is done, it feels as if Ala Mhigo is too. There are no tribal quests based there, few side-quests, it doesn't seem like the higher-level job quests use the area (though haven't played all that many of those to be honest, so not 100% on that)

I don't know - it just feels as if, moreso than anywhere else, they've given us no reason to go back there.

The Ananta tribe quests are right there in the Fringes.

The EW healer role quests take place almost entirely in Gyr Abania.

To be fair we also dumped Arenvald, Yugiri, Gosetsu, Fordola etc.

To be fair, those characters all featured heavily in the EW role quests.

I'd argue that The Fringes are not Ala'Mhigo - I mean a fringe is, by definition, "the border or outer edges of an area or group".

As for role quests - I did note in the post you quoted that I haven't completed many of them, and I haven't done any of the healer ones.

And poor Arenvald deserved better. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
I liked Gosetsu become a healer though. (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧
Although I have to wonder why they ended the physical range role quest in a cave, a.k.a. an enclosed area (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))

I would argue yes... considering we have a glam option and we can pretty much say we're using said weapon for however long we want. The reality is still true and makes 0 sense as you would think that such a powerful weapon would still be good well into the next expansion (like over half of it) but meh. My suspension of disbelief is... inconsistent at best we'll say and leave it at that.

Entirely different. Those new generic weapons are slightly sharper.
But kinda discarding an entire city-state is a lot.
