@FTF: I'm glad you agree :) I've found that the fights in early FT were a lot more enjoyable for me because there was room for character improvement. When there is no more room for that (which I'm scared is the case due to these chapters) the fights all become just fanservice and have no real point or impact for me, because we know the characters are at their peak and will just win :/

@Anon: Yeah, I know the fanbases in Japan are different to here, but the fans there still have opinions. From what I've noted FT has sold less copies since the GMG arc (Tenrou was the peak in sales I believe) and I also heard rumours that fans weren't happy with Erza's fight against Kyouka at all :/ So, it's not like FT is allowed to just do what it wants and it will always have fans. The story and the fights still need to be interesting and have a point.

@CNBA: *high fives*

@Wrath: Glad you agree too ;) And yeah, it really depends on where you are. On tumblr (at least with the people I know) you'd think FT was flawless.
