The only one of these points I really agree with is the lack of DNC/GNB weapons - specifically Primal weapons and Ultimate weapons.

But I'm not bummed about the size or emptiness of the zones. Honestly, ShB has some of my favorite zones in the game after some of the Heavensward zones. I like being out and about while gathering and just taking them in, even if others deem them empty. I'm also not bummed about the lack of job quests with the exception of DRK, as it usually has the most compelling quest (in my opinion), and others can be hit or miss. Having full-fledge voice acting is also not a main concern of mine. I don't think everything needs a voice, or that Generic NPC #3816 we interact with once in the MSQ needs a voice. I think ShB had a perfect balance of voiced and non-voice cutscenes.
