I haven't quite finished the event yet, but I've enjoyed what I've played so far, story-wise. I love that it did actually customize our party while we were on the walk. Made it feel surprisingly immersive.
Any part that stood out to you, like or dislike?
Yeah, I agree that both of those have gotten a lot better this region. But the exploration content quantity has also seemingly shrunk down unless I‘ve become a lot faster at exploring.
It really might just feel that way because unlike Sumeru Fontaine has not locked majority of the exploration behind a quest like the Aranara or Jeht one. As much as I like Sumeru, having those big exploration parts locked behind huges quests wasn't something I liked much, especially with the Aranara one which I found incredibly hard to follow due to so many similar names on top of the fantasy words.
