Hi there,
at least in the English version (I don't know the others) one of the big funny parts of Ishgard restoration were the hilarious flavour texts of the tooltips from the items you were gathering and crafting. Some even reached meme status, like this whole thing about the communal Ishgardian rock salt tradition.
The new ones have... nothing. Not a bad text, just... nothing. And the mission descriptions are fairly bland and generic.
I know the items aren't actual items, you cannot keep the funniest ones for personal reasons or so, but that shouldn't writers from stopping putting interesting, funny or absurd text in there. We still interact with stuff, tell us about this stuff!
Where's the spirit in all this? And what does this mean for future planets with a potential for a lot of rich lore and neat little insights into what former civilizations might have been or so? Is this also just going to be emotionless nothing?
Writers, you have done much better with this in the past. I am sure you can do it again.
