Damn, I wonder what will get people excited for this again. Seems enthusiasm is pretty low last few months.
I'm not sure, actually; I think it's a combination of factors for me why my enthusiasm is low
-EX rewards for KMs tied to spending a lot of energy hitting "repeat"; raids, ditto. Events that don't involve solving them once and repeating mindlessly for the next week. Trial weeks like this are actually better than most, would like something somewhere between that difficulty and "scorn" trials that change up every day
-personally poor luck (not gumi's fault directly); spent 60+ tickets with only one non-banner rainbow
-incoming fest banners that, at best, will devalue UOC's (okay, sure; gumi could
lower the cost of some non-fest units and keep fest units at 10 uoc; but I put that at "on-banner rainbow you want from a triple rainbow banner" odds)
-no exciting units on the horizon, and powercreep is in full gear; I'm not interested in the latest global exclusive/original unit that blows other DPS out of the water, I do mostly like the CG FF units but they keep getting pushed back further. Xenogears collab got me back in, and those units got largely eclipsed within ~1.5 months. A rework of existing units could pull me back in for awhile... but it'd have to be a unit I like a lot
-like Rixa said, QoL is low... it takes like 40 minutes of play to hit dailies. doing like 5 story quests is ~8 mins between all the button clicks, loading screens, rewards screens, etc (no, I haven't timed it... it feels longer if anything)
-trials, ironically, are too much work for me. 15-20 minutes of prep before I get into a stage is too much when I can't keep up with raids/KMs... to say nothing of when both are going on or raids + "elemental battles" which are raids that take energy
