Sorry but hard disagree there. It was a non-existent system in EW. And you don't have to run OC technically to even get your relic so there is quite a bit of freedom for how you obtain the Dawntrail relic. I mean, sure, It's not as free as doing Wondrous Tails once and then being done for the next couple months. At that point if you don't want to do Fates/Level Jobs/Shared Fates/Bi-Color Gemstones all at once or you don't want to do OC/Hairstyles/Glamours/Mounts then that's a lot of content to choose to not engage in, which is fine! It is optional and extra content at the end of the day.
