Remembering the bygone days when we indeed had a patch drop with a Deep Dungeon and an entire Relic Zone at once. Well, the latter came in 4.36 if we want to get technical but even so it was hardly a long wait. (Stormblood even released a relic zone in 4.25, can you imagine?)
And now we are in Endwalker.
Now, even with an extended patch cycle such things are impossible, and what we know is coming so far just feels so uninspired. Heaven on High and Palace of the Dead at least had something unique to them. But sure let’s rerelease more Allag/Crystal Tower stuff as if the game wasn’t full to the brim with it.
And, unlike the previous Relic Questlines and associated zones, nobody is doing Criterion. I can only hazard a guess as to why.
