Luclin was the beginning of the end, but I think that was due to some of the weaker parts of it than the expansion as a whole. Items in Luclin really weren't that better than Velious, so I don't get where that argument comes from.
Luclin had some really great zones/mobs/items, and part of the storyline was good. Sanctus Seru was an amazing zone, and the storyline between Katta and Seru was interesting. Ssra Temple, The Deep, Acrylia Caverns, and maybe Akheva all had their moments as well.
Also, focuses were really necessary and helped balance casters... even if they were poorly implemented.
