We have the Azem Grail, but there's not much urgency or mystery behind it, because we already know what it does.

What is mysterious about Tural? Nothing. We solved every mystery it (barely) gave us. What is dangerous about Tural? Nothing. We killed the one war-mongering guy and stopped the extra-dimensional AI teenager that appeared and wanted to eat everyone's souls. Tural doesn't feel like a Final Fantasy nation because it lacks this mystique and wonder all the other nations have. It feels like a Disneyland dark ride with a companion in the same seat as you that won't shut up the entire ride.
What stings is so many of the questions left unanswered are mostly stuff that someone should have questioned immediately or knew the answer to. Nobody did simply because the plot didn't want us to and moved us along to the next thing.

But we won't explore that at all. All the gods are now suicidal for some reason except for one because Hydaelyn is gone, I guess. Oh, you wanted them to matter or do anything? No, see, that's part of the old lore and the Ancients, and even though we made a whole expansion about hope and perseverance and that life is beautiful and worth living, all of the ancient characters and anything related to them have to die now, because...uh...mankind is worthy now! We don't need them anymore, so they might as well die, apparently! (can you tell I hate how they handled a lot of these characters?)
Hard agree on some of the Twelve. Most of them ended up ranging from harmlessly milquetoast to downright insulting if you know anything about some of their followers. The designs were decent though.
