    I'm holding judgement until I see whats coming with my own eyes, but a Eureka 2.0 is likely an unsub from me. Eureka made me physically sick and the rewards were not worth the effort put in. But that secondary path sounds interesting as well. I just want the weapons for glam so if there is an easy path for that i'll be happy.

    But my whole FC with me still waiting for it and hope it will be intersting and long lasting.
    Which is good. There are more casual players than hardcore here, as with most MMO's.

    You don't need to be hardcore player to push 1/2/3 and farming mobs, while enjoying nice looking location and talking with friends.
    Casual in this game is someone, who reads the story and sits in Limsa for few weeks and unsubs until next patch.

    I am not getting my hopes up though....
    If only there were daily quests you could do in eureka like kill X number of X element mobs or travel to X location and try to gather X item while avoiding or defeating X mob(s) that appear, one can dream.

    Am I casual for unsubbing from the game because there's nothing to do after you complete the MSQs and complete the entirety of the patch's content, which can usually be done in a whopping 7 days, and resubbing when the next major patch rolls around with its 7 day content?

    We don't know much about this Southern Frontline yet and we don't know what we need to do there. Also what does "a new Eureka" even mean? Starting over at level 1 again? Elemental-Shifting and Logos? Fate-Train? How is it even accurately defined?
    Well, anyway, "a new Eureka" doesn't mean it has to be bad and boring again just because it wasn't fun last time. A sequel to a bad movie or game can also be good.

    Even Eureka itself, in it's current state since patch 5.1., isn't as bad as it was before, I honestly found it quite fun and entertaining in Pyros and Hydatos lately since they added echo to level faster and allowed us to ride mounts from the very beginning (Pagos is still bad by design, though...).

    More like victim of content that not relevant after 2 weeks. But there is a lot of people who dont do the content game gives to them, just because its PVE and you need to do something more than read.

    Casual is someone who doesn't take the game seriously and has fun. Which is most players.

    I actually enjoyed eureka, even pagos, anemos was my least favorite and hydatos my favorite but I enjoyed all 4 zones and even though the finished relics looked kinda crappy compared to hw and arr imo it was fun content.

    I would like some improvements this time though, like letting us ride our mounts from the start, some daily things like leves or quests or killing certain enemies/ objectives to do, some kind of inside party up feature in there and good lvl sync'n so we can lvl with and help out our friends, that is if lvln is a part of bozja southern front.

    They learned a lot from eureka and hope they place this knowledge into the new thing.
    While anemos was a nice introduction, pagos had a lot of flaws but I got really good with pyros and hydatos.

    Btw, eureka is great and long lasting content.
    And I'm looking forward to all the conversations on shout chat, memes that gets created and progress you can make.
    Also the BA like dungeon is a big motion to be as active as possible in the eureka 2.0.

    The interesting thing is that during 2.0, when the very first relic was released, you had to fight the Hard Mode versions of Ifrit, Garuda and Titan. Back then, those 3 were the highest difficulty trials we had. Quite a few people complained, because they couldn't clear Titan (latency was a very big factor then). This resulted in easier content being used for getting the relic, but also the time you needed to invest into getting it was increased dramatically.

    Players crawled back into their pens and complained that it took too long to finish a relic, or that it was locked behind specific content like Beastmen Dailies, Crafting and Random drops from FATES or Instanced content. As time went by, players would start to ask Yoshida to have the Relics go back to their basics and make the quest more like the first relic (where you had to clear trials again). This was emphasized when Pagos was released.

    Right now, i'm in the process of maintaining 2 different characters. One on a NA server, where i've spend most of my FFXIV time since the release of 1.0 and one on a EU Server were i run Savage content with a raid group. Due to this, i have to split my time across multiple characters. So, personally, i'm happy that they introduced an Extreme Trial where you can get Relic gear.

    It's something different from hopping into content which you need to grind for an extended period of time. I find it more fun to put up a Party Finder group and see if you can clear the content with people who are willing to learn the fight and stick around for the entirety of the duty timer (if needed). That way, you get a lot more satisfaction for clearing the content and working towards getting the relic gear you want (as a group).

    But, not everyone feels the same way, so i'm all for options where you can either choose to run Eureka type content to get a relic or run content like the Extreme Trials and get it that way. Both types of content will require players to invest time and effort in order to get the relic, but with different levels of difficulty.
