Your at 91 level quests and you already want some kind of climax? Ever heard of rising action? You have so much more to go through, a new story needs time to build up.

I will note here by saying that Yoshi P said this was not the definitive start to a new long term story arc. It's simply a break and they will decide where to go after this depending on player feedback. We got our literal beach episode that was promised and in my own opinion I loved it all. I liked taking a step back from the savior of so many nations and the literal universe and a few of its shards as the warrior of light/darkness. This is Wuk's story and we are along for the ride, I doubt we would even go to tural at this time if it wasent for her.
Mericidia looked like it was the most likely place to go to before wuk recruited us for her journey.
