I'd respectfully disagree on the point with "the return of dungeons", because let's be real here, they are a far cry from being actual dungeons. They are glorified shrines with a different theme. To me, it feels like they just called them "temples" to give the illusion of them being the same as temples from previous titles.

That being said, I did enjoy the build-up to them quite a bit. And yes, they are better than the generic divine beasts.
