EndWalker's Deep Dungeon

[Disappoint]

Hold up, I thought due to the name it was some weird portal to an unexplored part of Eureka that's linked to the Crystal Tower due to magic.

Quote from Eureka story:

"Hmm... It occurs to me that no one bothered to tell you the name of the island we mean to explore. Am I correct? It's a bit grandiose and melodramatic, but we've tentatively named it for a place from Allagan legend. A forbidden land where fearsome weapons were hidden away for safekeeping... We call it...Eureka." - Krile Mayer Baldesion

So it seems like this is linked to the "original" Eureka.

Me before and after the screenshot they showed of the inside:


I don't mean to be rude but I'm really tired of the Allagan empire, I was hoping that with the events of Endwalker's MSQ they might have finally put it all to rest (especially after how they decided to write Amon but I digress). I'm sick of the aesthetic, and I would have much preferred them to make something Ronkan-themed if they had to go with the ancient empire route because at least it's something different. I get it, it was a very significant empire, but it's okay for it to not be related back to everything in the world.

Does this mean you're gonna be mad that the third raid tier is Pandemonium again? This is just how things go with the expansion cycles. We're not done with anything leading up to Endwalker's finale until 7.0 launches. Then all of this can be "put to rest." Until then, they're going to keep putting out content that would come out all at once if they opted for the traditional annual / biannual release of expansion content the older MMOs do.

Um... no? The thing about Pandemonium is that it hasn't been revisited again and again and again and again since the game started. This quote sums it up very nicely:

Why is it that I feel like we have so much Allagan crap in this game and yet it feels like they've gone nowhere with them?

Now, I'm not going to quit the game over this or anything. I'm going still going to run it and probably enjoy myself. Who knows, maybe they'll actually do something meaningful with the Allagans here. I just feel like there are plenty of other locations to base the new deep dungeon in that are more aesthetically (and narratively) pleasing.

Allagans and Ascians go hand in hand. As it was noted earlier, this is likely the loose end from CT that was bound to be tied up before we properly go off on our new adventures.

You remember when they cried on camera about extending the dev cycle to 4 moths?
Then released the next patch 4.5 months later, and this one 5 months later.

I just find that interesting.

Yoshi was upset about delaying Endwalker's release, not the new dev cycle.

If you paid attention to the release schedule announcement, they get extra time off in December and at some point in the summer.

Ronka would be cool, but until the narrative shifts back to the first I doubt we'll see any content focus on the first at all. For better or worse the Allagan theme fits the current theme of the MSQ as the Allagans had extensive dealings with the Void. So it would only make sense from a story perspective to turn to them for more insight on the Void.

I love Allagans tbh. If this Deep Dungeon means we get more Allagan/Magitek housing items I'm game

While the Eureka name had me interested the Allagan parts made go "Not another Crystal Tower related thing" as this is almost assuredly the Eureka Nero's scanner picked up at the end of the Crystal Tower series. I am just so sick of Crystal Tower stuff at this point but that may be the dominance of the raids in roulette talking.
