And yet this relic from ARR's time is still used with painful frequency - in fact I was extremely disappointed to hear it play during the new Occult Crescent Relic weapon cutscene. They serious need to retire that ear-bleed excuse for 'music'!
Machinations at this point is code for "Anything of importance will be brought up later, just hit escape". I think she also complained about Smile being used for the very long cutscene of building the bomb train in 7.0, but I don't think I've seen a single person defend that decision.
