Again, that was how it was for ShB for most of it until 5.3. I liked having those extra scenes for doing old content. I liked G'raha a lot from ARR before his promotion in ShB, being one of the first side characters I got attached to since I was so into CT during ARR's patches, and it was cool having our WoL have so many instances where we could bring him up and then call his ass out when the reveal occured. I was also fun to go back and find context for those moments that you just miss.

I generally love having stuff like that since it feels more like our journey is personalized. Like how there are a couple scenes that acknowledge our leveled jobs. There's a scene in with Zero and Ryne where Gaia can come in at the end, but she is completely absent if you haven't done Eden. And at this moment, Yoshi-P has encouraged players go do Alo-alo Island as there is some stuff that it gives context to in the patch next week.
