Little Ladies' Day

True. It's crazy to me they are cutting this much story content in a story MMO.

Im not so mad as to try quantifying "how much story" is in each questline, but I assume that we got longer MSQ chapters to make up for the loss of the separate questline, because they had to work in the plot setting up for each of the trials.

We also got the "Shadowed Pasts" side stories to tie in extra details about each of the trial bosses.

Also, I don't actually follow the Hildibrand quests, but any time they were listed in the patch notes, the main Hildibrand quests and the Manderville Weapon quests were separate. So were they actually mixed together or was it more like two questlines' worth of quests running parallel?

Previous expansions' relic weapon quests have also been hangers-on to a larger questline about something else, so it's not a new development anyway. It's just that the other things were unique to the expansion and not the newest instalment of another ongoing plotline.
