Heaven on High: That's it?

I think you get better rewards if you brave the higher floors. Sticking to 1-29 will most likely just be Materia/Sparklers and maybe the hairstyle.

Speaking of the hairstyle, I got that from 1-10. Instantly sold it because that hair will not look good on my Roebro (not with my current glamour, anyway).

Yeah, I'm currently in a group that just cleared 60 and will be continuing tomorrow. All those gold sacks gave me were materia and a couple clothing items.

I did get a sophic barding from my last from silver sack, though, which surprised me.

Dang that's crazy, I've been to 63 and among the sacks I got two susano minions, two shieva minions, levi barding, Sophia barding, ravanna barding, two lvl 70 craft alc flower glam stuff I sold, and some sparrow minion I already had. Those are only the things I remember getting, there indeed was material and sparklers though.

Definitely better luck than me. Even platinum sacks have been giving rank 5 materia to me. :/

I'm more underwhelmed by the story content. Was hoping for something more interesting than what we got, although perhaps it's setting up for something later on.

I'm with you on this one. It got me like... eh? Ok that... happened. PotD with Edda and the quests after hit my heart way more. Plus you'd see deceased NPCs and that was always interesting to me, recognizing them or checking their lines. Hoping for more story in the future or something to make the place a bit more interesting to me than what I've see up to floor 50 last night. :c

[Bernkastelx]

Up to floor 61 the enemies and bosses are pretty straightforward, floor 70 actually has a mechanic you need to do solo or you will get one shot. I see why they put in these extra pomanders to get past certain obstacles during solo play, partying up should be pretty simple to people who know what they are doing.

[KageTokage]

HoH seems realistically possible to solo with classes other then RDM due to how powerful the magicite and some of the new pomanders are.

Still requires a ton of luck, but at least we won't see any classes getting walled by any of the bosses due to the Odin magicite just being a free skip.

[Mirakumi]

I was enjoying it - Just got to 81 in my group. Then Rubahan joined the pt unexpectedly and now we can't get back inside. rip!

Really love the boss fights especially the return of WoD Cereberus as a 4 man boss.

[Duskane]

ill enjoy it for what it is since all my DoW/M jobs are already 70 so i wont have the slog of grinding all my classes in Potd for levels wanting people to rush through
ill be in it for the loot,the Harder floors and Its good mendacy like Eureka

[CorbinDallas]

It's exactly what I expected so I'm not disappointed. The QoL is much better than PotD ever was, being able to start 10 floors prior to challenge mode instead of having to slog from 51-150 before it got interesting. The large rooms shake it up a bit, and the npcs are meh. The exp rate is only going to increase as everyone gets to higher aetherpool and spams 21-30 and zergs floors with magicite and petrifaction.

It's a bit too easy if you ask me, copious amounts of magicite/petrifaction pomander significantly lower the risk of wiping. We would use a fortune + petrifaction or magicite and gain more than we used most of the time.

This is how SE does things, they don't take risks anymore after what happened with Diadem. They copy and paste with a few new additions because they already have the formula that works. I bet my hat that the next "deep dungeon" will literally be exactly the same, but with slight differences, because it works.
