I beat it all now, yeah. And it's fair in some ways, especially since Elidibus hadn't really outright worked against them in the past.

5.2 wasn't really my favorite because of that plotline, though it did still have enjoyable stuff and fun Ascian revelations. 5.1 was nice epilogue-y content though, and 5.3 was fantastic as a sort of 'true ending' for Shadowbringers. Warrior of Light was real good stuff story-wise. Glad I decided to keep going and play up to that. Before I started on Shadowbringers I was feeling a bit burned out on the game and unsure if I wanted to continue. Even after I started it, I was thinking I might quite once I was done 5.0, but it was so good overall that I was happy to continue. Excellent experience overall! Game timer has me around 287 hours, though probably at least 10 of those are idling, if not more. Mostly very enjoyable hours, thankfully. Much less grindy than I expected it to be.

For the new boss content:

Weapons: cool battles and great fanservice. This is the best of the three ongoing side plots if you ask me. The bad guy seems a bit too evil, but eh, it works. The kids are a little lame sometimes though.

Eden: Re-using bosses, even if they are changed, doesn't make me feel particularly hyped, and I'm not that into the story either. Rejuvenating the Empty is a great goal; it's just they don't tell a particularly interesting story around it. Gaia is... okay. They could've done a better job with her, but her development by the end was still solid The only one of the eight bosses that was really cool was Shiva. Wonder if we'll get to fight Edea or Ultimecia in the final set...

Nier Raids: I feel like these should be better? In a few aspects they're great: the area design is totally Nier, the music is all there, the pods are fun, and some of the bosses are quite good. Most of the bosses aren't that exciting though, and the framing story is just okay. I did enjoy them, just wish they had a little more punch.

It's funny, before this patch I was thinking about how 14 had major references to basically all the older FFs other than 7/8/10/13, and the 5.X stuff adds quests for both 7 and 8. Good timing there.
