I'm going to be real, I don't think this content is great.
I had already tempered my expectations based on prior content thoroughly disappointing me, but I just feel like this wasn't well thought out.
- My biggest gripe is that aspects of the content don't have a cap (the moon base phases), thus have already been completed on certain servers, and so if you wanted to get involved in that you now can't. I was lucky enough to play earlier than most, but I feel sad for those that won't get the chance to participate in the larger scale community activities.
- The Cosmoliner... while (marginally) better than running around the entire map by foot, I would have just much rathered be allowed to ride my mount. Traversal is annoying and not being allowed to ride your mount there is actually mind boggling to me.
- The FATES are subpar, uncreative and don't take you out of the monotony of the regular gameplay at all (which is what I consider FATES purpose to be).
- Gathering massively suffers due to the traversal issues stated above and the fact GP does not restore after each mission.
- The gameplay itself is fine, I do like grindy gameplay, it's something that you would just flick youtube on the side and do, but that's all it is, just a glorified leve grind, that can be quite difficult without sinking a ton of money into gear (I'm still using 7.0 penta gear and having a hard time passing A rank missions) without anything noteworthy at the end to make up for it, besides cosmetic items which will reduce in price very quickly.
