2.1's archon quest was so bad that it almost made me drop the game, I stayed because the exploration was so fun (and I'm glad I did, 2.x improved significantly afterward). People can meme all they want about Meropede being awful but that wasn't the climax of the story and Inazuma had almost NO good points, the most hype part was confronting her at the statue with the unwinnable boss fight and there was like nothing else.
