We are missing Content between Normal and Extreme. Wrong Audience for Chaotic

[Voidmage]

The community overall absolutely complained about Diadem, but especially Eureka and Bozja, as being grindy, glorified fate trains. It was vastly unpopular content overall. Bozja ONLY escaped slightly from the negative sentiment because for a time period in SHB, it was the primary way of getting EXP, post them nerfing PVP EXP and before buffing dungeon EXP. But initially all were received poorly for both the fate system and in tangent, the requirements of the relic weapon being spam x dungeon/raid. This is likely why they forego'd an expedition in EW and also why Yoshi-P openly mentioned he was "surprised" that people actually wanted exploratory zones again.

First:
I am not talking about Diadem.
Second:
You completely repeat what i said about the fates.
Third:
Bozja was absolutely not received poorly just criticized for some things which I already listed.
Fourth:
The RAIDS themself were overall liked with a few complaints here and there but mostly had the weakness of the entry being horrible and the rewards being crap.
Fifth:
It and Eureka have an extremely long engagement life so it is a succsess. So it can't be unpopular if so many people did it.
Sixth:
The forum is not the community overall.

Also to say that that was the reason we didn't get one in EW is quite a reach.
We probably didn't get one because they devs themself didn't want to make one and were doing criterion + IS and because the EW content was halfassed anyway.

Unofficial Translation of PLL - Claims initial goal was Extreme, but it's tuned closer to Savage 1/2 when factoring in 24 people. Note: this is the only place that mentions Extreme. Not that I'm saying it wasn't said but even then there's acknowledgement that it was tuned higher.[/url]

So all confirming knowledge we have of Yoshi-P and devs comments on the content was that it was in fact having an expected difficulty of Savage 1 or 2, not extreme. Community is gaslighting itself.

Or (and that is just a maybe like you already implied and not me trying to say it as fact) what Yoshida SAID on the live letter and what is WRITTEN here are two different things.
The unofficial translation translated everything even things he said while this here lists things that are prepared.
And the unofficial translation is what we have for the most part of the time.
People always say more than they intend even he.
