It's hard for me to acquiesce Eureka as engaging content when the immediate feedback you get from other players is "it's fun if you're with friends." or "its fun if you're watching netflix" or "it's fun because you can just relax mindlessly until X pops". When you have this type of lasting content where it's fun is exceedingly contingent on third party interaction as means of complete distraction, it means the content has failed to be engaging. Now for some, that might actually be fine, as they say it's all about the experience and fun is subjective. But when engagement can be measured objectively and Eureka didn't bring that.
    Written during Stormblood? No. This was on-the-spot spitballing to give an example of weaving in components earlier and being a bit more ambitious.

    Edit: Glad to see I was on the right track though, even if without much time available (was just between shifts).
