Why link to someone else reporting and not right to the source?

I can't imagine too many haven't already done it though...

I was pretty pissed I barely remembered anything from crystal tower story because it was just too long ago. Rewatched some cutscenes after I completed Shadowbringers, wish I did that before I started.

At first I thought it was just recommended to watch it so you know more about relevant lore and what a crystal tower is, so didn't think it necessary to revisit the story for that.

Didn't realize it involved an actual character (which I had entirely forgotten about by time I went through ShB), really ruined the climax of the reveal

This change makes me suspect even more...

that the Crystal Exarch is going to end up sacrificing himself for one reason or another, but at the same time his original self in G'raha Tia is going to awaken prematurely so that he can continue to aid us on the Source.

It definitely changes the potential of what might happen in 5.3 if they're no longer tiptoeing around keeping the plot consistent for people who haven't done CT. They should have done this sooner.

Hopefully every other major side story is made mandatory over time so their plot points can be freely addressed, explored and referenced in future MSQ's.

Honestly I wouldn't mind. I'd love to get to see Cait Sith, Leofard, and the Redbills again.

There is already an alternative conversation with someone in 5.0 when you haven't done CT.

There are a number of differences with the Crystal Exarch depending on whether or not you've completed the Crystal Tower series. Basically any scene pertaining to his true identity and relationship with the PC has an alternate / extended version.

They should at least make Alexander and Omega required too, given how instrumental those stories are to the explanation of how the Crystal Tower is on the First.
