The Lessons Not Learned.

So you wanted a fate grind at the start? You know the one thing HW and ARR both had one as a must the other as an option that many people gripe about? That they wish the devs would do something else that isn't just another fate grind? I'm sure we will get shoved into doing Lota for the five thousandth time again for 20 runs. But it probably won't happen until the next step at the earliest if anything.

While I like Fate grinds and would have taken them that is why my first suggestion is Variant dungeons given the ties to Sil'dih via ARR Hildibrand is obvious and it is the most suggested alternative I have seen people recommend. I really do not understand why variant dungeons wasn't the pick here honestly.
