but Leviathan was more of the big story feature in a sense ("The Maelstrom") & I feel the mark was sorely missed.

I was kind of disappointed in this too :/ It felt like they hyped it all up and Leviathan was only in 1-2 cs, the fight, while fun, was super easy, no loot (from a HM too! so no one will redo it) and it could be done in ~2 1/2 hours.


I am kind of let down by 2.2. Over 90% of the content they added is either recycled with hard mode put on it or it's stuff you can finish in one day. That's expected to last us another 4-5 months for another 1-2 days worth of content? (Not counting coil/zodiac)

I remember back in the day on a mmo (lol) when an update would keep you busy for months or more and if they added more story missions, you couldn't do them all in a few hours, they'd take a few days, weeks or more maybe if you got unlucky with the fights. Now everything is just a breeze with no challenge, not to mention when they do add some new story into XIV, 95% of it are fetch quest fillers.
