Bozja feedback thread

Personally, I didn't enjoy it. Tried it for 2 days and decided it's not worth my time.
I'm only interested in completing my relics (4x). The best way to complete relics is Heavesward fates.
With how easy the 2nd step is, I might go for a 5th relic.

This is a bit of a shame, because Bozja, and specifically the Castrum Lacus Litore finale, has as much content as your typical Alliance Raid.
The format itself is just like an Alliance Raid, but with more interesting mechanics.
It has as much Story content as an Alliance Raid and it's related quests.
Then you get decent, current gear for completing it.

People clamour for this kind of content that we only every odd patch for a maximum of three per expansion, and here's a fourth one!
They also tend to complain that everything in the game is instance based with no reason to actually play in the overworld, and here's an Alliance Raid that relies on exploration gameplay to enter!

The problem with people completing their Relics via HW FATEs is that once they've done so, they have less reason to play and less to gain from doing Bozja.

Calling it a shame is a bit much.

I know what Bozja is and what it offers, I'm simply not interested in doing it. My opinion does not stop people from playing the content and enjoying it.

Calling it "a bit of a shame" is about the least dramatic thing I could possibly have said.

It's a shame because I've seen a lot of people say this, and yet you can't know what it offers if you haven't played the Castrum yet. Unless you watch it on twitch or something i guess.
They're put off by the initial grind (even though it's of much of one) so never learn just how much content, and vital story exposition, is included.

Would you reject an entire Alliance Raid series claiming 'I know what it offers and I don't want to play Alliance Raids anymore'?
Would you give up on the Nier Raids just because you started the quest chain but decided you didn't like running pointless fetch quests, before you actually managed to unlock the raid itself?

The Castrum is essentially our fourth Ivalice Raid.
