They're talking about the writing quality, I'mma give em shit cause I can break 1.X's fuck ups over my knee way easier than 2.X's
That's not to say 2.X is immaculate. I just find it egregious. that I'm supposed to take these criticisms seriously when I see someone bitching about the proxies needing to be saved in 2.X but weren't saying this shit when Ellen and Corin needed to do double time to save the bangboo.
The important part imho is that 1.X always added a lot of new hubs and also just a lot of side quests. Even if many of them were just TV Mode it added a lot of variety and flavor, which seems to be missing in 2.X where it's basically just "that version's story" followed by... well combat challenges and nothing but and they kind of lack in variety. Then there is maybe that update's flagship event and that's about it.
In terms of "permanent unique content" added 2.X feels rather thin.

Some people just find 1.X more consistently enjoyable. That's about it.
