  13.  @Hynotama  The First Civilization has been building-up and central to everything the Assassins and Templars are doing since AC2. Both groups are after their technology and seeking understanding of them, and AC2's ending is all about the FS. AC3 is centred around the FS with Juno wanting to be freed, showing they aren't just something from the distant past. She is freed at the end, and says Desmond's done her part and now she's going to do her part - meaning the FS were planned to have a bigger presence in the game. AC4 continues what AC2 - AC3 was establishing. AC4 added that Juno's husband, Aita, has been reincarnating throughout the ages. AC4 didn't take away from the mystery, it added to it with the stories in the bottles found on beaches that contain glimpses of what happened to Aita during the time of the FS, with the FS' observatory, with the realization that Aita is reincarnating and is keeping tabs on the Templars, that Juno is now up to something that isn't yet revealed... If you didn't see mystery in AC4 at every turn, you were asleep or just not willing to pay attention because you saw boats and decided that meant there's no AC there. There's more AC in AC4 than there is in any other game in the series. BTW, the boats in AC4 are great fun and they suit the period and story. AC3 also has boats. AC4's boats are much refined, though. AC2 has a flying machine made by Leonardo. I've always thought that the inclusion of Leonardo as a friend of Ezio is one of the weakest design points of the classic series, up to AC4. And the flying machine's gameplay is awful - so is the unlocking of towers ad nauseum, and same with AC2's unlocking of storefronts (which you do have to do, by the way, unless you don't plan to upgrade your gear) and scavenging to pull-down wanted posters after every encounter or so. AC2 is far more repetitive than AC4, and more repetitive than AC3, which itself is a lot more repetitive than AC4. You can get by in AC4 spending less time boating than you can in AC2 with unlocking towers and storefronts. But the boating in AC4 is far more engaging and fun then AC2's grind.
