I'm Frustrated with FFXIV's New Direction

Exactly. It's just felt like a very lazy expansion design wise.
Even the Pelu aren't original, just ripped from X.

To be positive, some of the new areas are bloody lovely visually, but are sadly devoid of a soul with the race designs.

Part of me is starting to wonder just how many veteran team members were pulled off of FF14 and put on FF16. The cracks are kinda showing
