Though the story itself is not particularly interesting—possibly because it's focussed around a very boring character—it is nice as a break from the overly serious ending of A Realm Reborn.
It is also something new for me. I cannot easily find the words, but, once a JRPG's main plot is over, its world becomes static. You may be able to finish loose ends here and there, but no significant change is possible. This being an MMO—a game-as-service shudders—the world continues very much alive and moving forward. It doesn't clearly signal where it's going, but that's fine: this 2.1 feels a bit like those moments after a big life event when one is sort of dizzy and lost, just trying to get their bearings.
