It's less that there's lack of plots, but that the "good" plots are highly contested when available, hehe. I have a small house myself, so I was kind of pushing for a medium plot for the FC so I can experiment with the extra housing slots.
That's fair. The variant dungeons can feel like a slog, but I enjoyed the music and just looking at the scenery. I actually also enjoyed the fact that I could do them solo at my own pace, but I am more or less a lone wolf type of player. Doing the odd route every now and then probably attributed to less burnout too.
Well, I'm enjoying the Endwalker role quests more than the Dawntrail ones. I can guarantee that. That does remind me that there are some optional quests to tie up the job role quests from pre-Shadowbringers...
Don't worry, I'm embracing the non-grind mentality. Plus, there's a bunch of upcoming games coming out (Final Fantasy XVI), so I'll be occupied anyhow.
Funnily enough, I was going to look up whether progress from workshops and the like are transferred when upgrading to larger plots. So I have been looking at smaller plots to at least get things going. Thanks for the information!
And yeah, I actually really like the new cottage walls. Being a big fan of Final Fantasy IX, it really hits me with nostalgia. That's sort of why I was looking for a plot in The Lavender Beds - I think the cottage walls really suit the aesthetics there. And another revenue source wouldn't go amiss, haha.
