Is Bozja a failed storyline?

I stopped doing after a few levels for both Eureka and Bjoza. Can't stomach massive grinds.

This was me as well. I can't say anything about the story beyond the initial Bozja experience that could be done outside of Bozja. When I hit the point where doing Bozja content was no longer optional, I noped out and never looked at Bozja again. For me the story wasn't the problem, but rather it was the gameplay that incentivized me to not finish the story. I despised and Eureka and Bozja was just more of the same type of content (separate leveling system, collecting actions, etc). It really disappointed me that the relic was tied to that type of content for a second time. I'd have been less critical if I could have finished the relic outside of Bozja.

I just don’t understand how princess Ashe & Rasler were married in XII but in the field notes they’re brother and sister.. did SE intend to make it a royal incest thing?

Other than that, I liked the Bozja storyline and I adore Castrum & Dal I find them so entertaining

The Ivalice/Dalmasca of FFXII and Tactics (and other related games) and the Ivalice/Dalmasca of FFXIV are not the same, and none of the characters with the same name in FFXIV are the actual versions of those characters from their original games.

Oh thank god, I was worried if this was going to be a infinite cliffhanger aka Dirge of Cerberus kind of deal.

I mean, it's not guarantee that this is happening... but if it does (and my personal opinion is that is very likely for something in then .x patches) it will depict the aftermath of the liberation.

I was very pleased to see Matsuno brought on board to work on some content for FFXIV. To this day, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII remain some of my favourite games ever due to the wonderful nuance and atmosphere contained within each. Bozja struck similarly high notes for me and whilst I would have preferred certain elements to be fleshed out and expanded more than they were, ultimately there was always going to be less room to operate within given that it's a piece of side content in an MMO and not it's own standalone game.

I hope to see him brought on board again in the future, perhaps to give us something based around FFXIV's version of Lea Monde from Vagrant Story. Some more dark fantasy would be great as far as I'm concerned.

When the game tells you to farm ridiculous amount of items, its not worth it. Especially when the gear is out of date. Even if they cut 80-90% of it, its still a lot due to the length of the content.
