I expected way more MSQ

[Kalocin]

I think it was just the separating of content that made it feel shorter than normal. Usually having to do a dungeon mid MSQ makes it feel longer because well, you had to go and do that dungeon. In terms of story progression, not a lot really happened as it was more character focused than the narrative. It would have been nice to have some more idea of "what's next" though as it feels like we got an extended cliffhanger from the end of 4.0.

Was it me though, or wasn't there supposed to be a new lala in the msq too? I thought the 4.2 preview showed a lala with silver hair and glasses talking to Krile?

I believe that's the yet further delayed Eureka stuff we have to hold for another month on.
