At the same time, I was expecting they'd put a little bit more effort into the rework than they did. They gut about half the level and removed some storyline bits. It just kind of feels rushed. I was hoping for something that was faster paced but wasn't so watered down. It'd be nice if we had a way to replay the original instance somehow, even if only solo/unsynced.

When they prune some ARR 2.x quests to make it shorter, I heard that they also pruned the quests where Tataru tried out different jobs instead of just Arcanist then gave up.


I guess it is inevitable for some story elements get pruned whether SE tries to steamline the player's experience, as everything detail in this game is packed full of lore.
