    I have 3 issues with them going for Allagans tbh. But some of them, I think you guys can help answer.

    1 - Is there anything else left to explore about Allagans? Like, what would this add that we don't already know?
    2 - This is the 2nd Deep Dungeon to feature an Allagan background. And it too was tied to stuff we already knew. What else do we need to know about CT? Where Amon had his wardrobe? :I
    3 - Why are we always defaulting to Allagan stuff? Like, I get they're THE world-spanning ancient civilization. But why not other stuff as well that's also quite ancient and mystical? It just feels like the Allagans had a foothold in everything, influencing virtually all that there was. Bozja? Allagan tech, even down to why Gunbreakers exist. Yanxia? Launch pad for Dalamud. Ruby Sea? HoH stopped the Calamity of Earth in the local area.
    Shouldn't we explore the other stuff a bit more as well and give credit to the nations that came after? It seems like the only nations that ever mattered beyond them were the War of the Magi trio. The others just got stuck in a time bubble with "not much to explore past that".

    Just because it's located below the crystal tower doesn't mean there won't be significant variation in visuals and enemy variety between floor sets, you'd know prior ones already do this if you've ever set foot in the floors beyond the ones people spam for exp.
    Erm... are you the Among Us youtuber?

    That said, maybe it is overreaction. I'm just exhasperated on having more Allagan stuff when there haven't been other things to explore about them. Even the new stuff we had is just filling in the blanks of stuff we already knew, like Amon on HoH. I'd like to explore a different period of the Allagan Empire if possible, and hope, if anything, that this DD can provide.
    But I won't deny I'd prefer something other than the same old Technobabble Empire.

    That's fine. And valid! DW too much about it, I'm gonna play through it anyway and get the enjoyment I get from it anyhow So it's all fine at the end of the day.

    I already answered, but yeah that's perfectly fine. It's not all a matter of preference, some of it IS stuff I'd like an answer for, but ultimately it's just justifications that aren't needed.
    If you like the content, don't justify it. It's fine. Know that it's valid.
