The way I see it, the first two stages were meant to go by quickly so that we could unlock hoverboard travel. I’m also confident that we’ll unlock mounts after reaching a certain stage, and eventually even gain the ability to fly around the map.

I’m not sure what’s so sad about missing the first two phases, but I’m pretty sure we’ll get Fetes like those in the Ishgard Restoration, where each activity is repeated. The forums really quick to complain and it gets annoying.

Also, this is Odin's progression. So we haven't even see all phases.
