It's clear SE simply aren't interested in that large scale content anymore and want to keep crafting and gathering classes seperate from battle, so I do not see them changing this.

Also we kind of got the 'crafting airships' content eventually too... but as far as waging PvP battles with them, I doubt SE will end up going that far.
Yeah, it does seem like fates took it over. While they're comparable I'd lie if I wasn't a little disappointed this is what hamelt became. Fates are decent for exp and the very rare new expansion release fates are neat... but the difference between hamlet and fates are so night and day.

Sure hamlet wasn't a nightmare when you got used to it, but at least it was challenging and you needed proper coordination with your party. Pfft if you need any of that in any fate lol
