On the whole I didn't like it. Compared to the previous two it feels like a letdown. It might be because I wasn't bothered by any of the selling points, which may have skewed my view about it somewhat.
- Not interested in fishing and even if I was the actual mini game is not condusive to a peaceful time fishing.
- Skiff is pointless because I don't fish.
- The Turtle doesn't seem to do much compared to the other mounts.
- Strikes don't appeal to me. They just seem like a lazy filler for actual dungeons/fractals/content etc.
- The story is mediocre at best.
- The maps range from decent to dreadful. Kaineng City is easily the worst map in the game. Empty, difficult to navigate and very, very, very dull. Seitung Province is a pretty map, but it's nothing special otherwise. Echovald is ok but again it doesn't do anything for me. Dragon's End is green.
The only thing that appealed to me were the Elite Specs and even they turned out to be a mixed bag. Vindicator and Virtuoso I like. Harbinger, Bladesworn and Mechanist with it's gigantic cockroach can all breed and travel. Especially Mechanist. The others are not interesting.
I only ever go to EoD maps to do the occasional daily for currency and then forget it exists.
