Also the setting is an issue as well. Yes medieval times are nice and all but it would of been nice for a setting like Final Fantasy VII or Final Fantasy VIII. If your going to do an expansion might as well place it in the future cause the forest people faction is just boring. The Litte People sand kingdom feels like it should be a place of scum and villainy but everyone is just kawaii. Don't get me started with the stereotypical blue man group pirate nation.

I expected the game to get better not progressively harder and the majority of content locked off for only those who are rich
