A lot of stuff is simply a case of:

With that said, one of the biggest and most common story critiques of 2.0 and 3.0 was how little screen-time and development certain antagonists received. Often they'd show up, quest text would describe them as a 'formidable threat' and then the Warrior of Light would immediately destroy them.

4.0, thankfully, appears to be putting a greater emphasis upon the expansion's antagonists and giving them some much needed love. I think it's going to be pretty great and shake things up whilst also laying the groundwork for 5.0 and 6.0.

A story where the antagonists aren't a threat just isn't interesting. One of the best things that could be done at this point in time for the sake of a compelling story is not allowing the Warrior of Light to simply waltz in and solve every problem because 'he's teh best fiter ever lolz xD'. In fact, to mitigate that I believe we're going to see a lot more intrigue where the story is concerned. 3.0 certainly had a lot of twists that made things much more difficult to solve through brute force alone.
