I was expecting a new continent to explore and things to do on it, maybe with some new story and such. Also a new, elemental themed combat system.

What I got was "grind mobs to spawn mobs to grind", technical problems, and the illusion of an elemental themed combat system that's really just "stack everything into one element and turn the wheel to whatever you're fighting so you can kill it faster".

But fundamentally? Most of the game is something I find fun. I expected fun. I didn't find fun.
