I was expecting options. To be able to go in solo and make meaningful progress before or after my friends log. In fact, I expected to be able to play with my friends, but one of them outlevels me so there's no point (and the others refuse to go back in, but that's a symptom rather than a cause). I expected more gameplay than grind dungeon trash then do fate boss. I expected something to match the pomp Yoshi presented it with.
