IDK about that. Having recently completed the main story, it was not great. There were really 2 missions that i consider well done. the R38 and R46. Also, not a whole lot changed between beta and release. It's almost as if having a beta was pointless.

Also as far as YoshiP copying and pasting from XI, I couldn't disagree more. XI was so cruel to casual players it was borderline absurd. YoshiP panders to them.
