I'm disappointed that they're only adding loot for savage criterion. I tried the first regular criterion with members from my static and it was an absolute blast but I've not been able to get a group together again. Also the regular criterion felt like it was about the same difficulty as savage (or harder with our ilvl) so I was expecting the rewards to be there.
Yeah, it's depressing how much of wasted potential the criterion dungeons are. They fill a nice niche of 4 player hard content and being generally somewhere between extreme and savage, but the fact that the rewards are garbage mean most raiders aren't ever going back in after their first clear solely for the experience. All content sorely needs rewards to bring people back in to keep it alive and criterion dungeons are doing the absolute worst of all content except maybe rival wings.
If only they didn’t butcher relics this expansion, Criterion would have been amazing for a relic step or two
This has been the first time I've gone for relics (I only started playing before endwalker release) and I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad. Definitely has been easy getting them all for all classes but I imagine it's quite different from what I've heard of the grinds of the past.
Yep in the past it took a lot of effort (grinding) to get just one, with the older steps being loosened up as the expansion went on. Personally ended up getting a half dozen finished relics idly grinding in Bozja, now I don’t even bother
I loved the trailer opening with the Red Wings theme, one of my favorite songs in the franchise.
The FF4 music has been great this post-expansion. All the music has been, really, with the alliance raids and normal raids and others, and really love how they've included community work from the past in it, has been fun to learn about.
