That aside, Forked Tower Magic is the most low budget feeling thing I've experienced in FFXIV, relative to like all the other content around it
Its very obvious that the normal mode was kinda just thrown together
current ffxiv conspiracy theory is that forked tower blood and magic extreme have limited raises because someone on the dev team listened to the dumbasses last expansion that said "raising is overpowered"
Anyway I've been farming more occult crescent and I've noticed how like if you really wanna get the rewards from forked tower magic, you're incentivized to not engage with any other part of occult crescent
sometimes I think I'm a little excessive with my depiction of my wol but then I look at what modders are doing and I realize I'm still on the conservative end of things
