The only one that felt "cheap" to me were the Omega raids. Very fun fights that were just a rotation of old bosses with zero context until it actually had us fighting Omega itself, which was connected to original FFXIV lore.

It's probably better than how I and several others felt during the Nier raids: disconnected, confused, annoyed, and with eyestrain.

When I replayed ShB, I just never unlocked them.
