So why not utilize 3.x content rather than reusing 2.x content that doesn't need to be revitalized or doesn't give player interaction (2.0 hunts and beast tribes)? They put off the anima questline for so long, you'd think they have something to show for the 4+ months of development, or even planning. They've had plenty of development time and very little to show for it, it really drops my expections and hopes for what they've actually been doing behind-the-scenes.

Step 1 requires FATEs, but honestly this is something that should've been in since 3.0, and was delayed to 3.15 and seems incredibly out of place to reward i170

Step 2 has you going into 2.x dungeons, and the option to unsync is there, so a typical player isn't even going to use duty finder.

Step 3 has part of the steps (if you wanted to finish before 3.2 anyway with daily tasks) that requires you to do 2.x beast tribes, which is solo content and doesn't really make sense if they wanted to make it more lively. If anything, CT is in desperate need of attention and they completely opted out of that.
