Eureka had very negative reactions and results(as much as i personally love it) and the relic weapons had a very low completion rate amongst the playerbase yet they thought the best thing to do was repeat that same style again? But this time made it worse where the relics are locked behind raids? Lol. As for the squadrons thing, i don’t think the story is a very good excuse. If they wanted to they easily could’ve transferred squadrons over to the First with minimal issue. I think a lot of people’s problems with Squadrons vs Trusts, which again is a trend in this expansion, is just how much of a downgrade trusts are. They somehow managed to take Squadrons overall system and trash it in the form of trusts. Squadrons you can at least control so it makes things a minimal issue, whereas trusts have wonky AI amongst other things, and now instead of building on Squadrons, they just dropped it completely. They did the same with Chocobo Racing. They did the same with Verminion. They did the same with the housing placard system. They just seem to bandaid fix things instead of outright addressing them.
