The graphics have mining pick, some harvested goods and so on. In the interview they compared it to Ishgard few times. If it won't require DoH/DoL then it will be similar to Island Sanctuary - a very side content - but what would be the point/goal then?

Also most 91-100 dungeon groups I get are 3-4 mentors so they wouldn't loose much by making new DoH/DoL content. It could then cooperate with Ishgard Restoration for leveling said jobs. Ishgard to level X then this onward.

Criterion/Variant dungeons died quickly post release due to lack of sensible rewards.

I did few DoH/DoL deliveries in Tural and it was junk reward-wise. If Cosmic Exploration is for DoH/DoL then either I get 100-200 current materia out of it without absurd time sinks or it's dead. 7.3 gear set will require some scrip-gated item so if this content won't allow to just buy it quickly without sitting a week dumping collectibles then it's also dead for me and I'll probably skip till 7.55 and go for the scrip gear.
