I agree that the zone and terrain is good. Although it is sort of a field it does have bumps and hills and caves which is good. I'm not so sure about the ramps up to the cliffs though. Although it was annoying to a lot of people not having those in Pagos, sometimes developers need to take a stance and say "deal with it". Navigating terrain and having to find a way up is one of the things that makes the content feel great and cozy.

The atma grind isn't really much. I already have 4 out of 18 and haven't even been trying to get it yet. But apparently the grind is overwhelming to extremely impatient and casual players that want everything in the 2 hours they play for on day 1.
