Observations From Someone Trying Eureka for the First Time in 2022

I read in an online article that Eureka was designed for vets of classic MMORPGs to feel a sense of nostalgia for "the good old days." It's an homage to "preserv[ing] the essence of first generation MMOs." I'm genuinely curious as to whether the devs have given any thought since Eureka's initial launch, whether this is still a good idea. Does the modern player want to play MMOs as they operated back in the "good old days?" Do these systems make good content for the average MMO player in 2022?

Yes. I fail to see why having a different type of gameplay in Eureka is a bad thing. The main reason I love Eureka is that it feels and plays like an old-school MMORPG and that's also what makes it stand out from the other instances in FFXIV.
