The hunt/FATE community really needs to stop fuming with rage when someone accidentally pulls a thing. I've now seen multiple cases of people getting harassed for "griefing" and threatening with reports (which btw you have no grounds for)

Actually, Danwtrail kinda succeded with many things Stormblood did poorly.
It actually pulls off the 2-in-1 expansion well, whereas SB did Gyr Abania dirty.
The story is *actually* NOT about the WoL, whereas SB ended up about Zenos obsessing over us.
They did a good redemption arc, unlike Yotsuyu

Finally, the job changes...
Picto and Viper are great additions.
The changes to "simplify" opd jobs however have all backfired. BLM has MP problems, tanks have aggro issues and pointless changes, MNK is kinda worse overall etc.
Overall: it's much better than Stormblood but it has big issues

The zones are pretty and generally more interestingly designed than before. Yuk T'el (and partially Shaaloani) stand out in particular.
Unfortunately the world zone content is still the *exact* same. Same boring fates, same hunts with absurd timers. It's FFXIV's biggest flaw since 2.0

The music is some of Soken's best. Battle and dungeon themes are all great. Tulliyollal theme is a banger. Even most zone themes are great, which isn't always the case.
Dungeons are still bad design-wise, but the boss encounters are some of the best, even including some actually new mechanics

So I still have two more levels to go but so far: the story is good, with some big highs and big lows. The biggest hindrances are the major pacing issues and some bad quest design.
Voice acting is good, tho it feels like they weren't allowed to shout in the recording booth

So I couldn't quite figure out exactly why Wuk Lamat's voice direction felt off to me.
And yeah... I only yesterday found out that the accent is fake and the VA's other work has normal American one

I'm honestly really curious about CBU3's online architecture.
MMOs are generally known for spaghetti code but the fact congestion happens so easily in so many places is strange. Even the glamour plate system is very limited because of it.
And it's something the older competition doesn't have

Now let's talk actual Dawntrail (Lv 95) spoilers:
Fucking FINALLY they did the redemption arc story correctly. Not only does WoL actually get a dialogue choice where both options are "I feel sorry for you, but your actions aren't excused" but you have the antagonist actually feel sorry and change

Another example would be Nimbus in Destiny 2. Is it cool that they are non-binary and voiced by a nob-binary person? Of course.
Does it automatically erase the fact their writing is constant bad Marvel humor regardless of situation, which makes them insufferable? No

I've seen a statement that if you don't like Wuk Lamat you are just homophobic and sorry to say but a character being voiced by a trans person doesn't automatically mean you have to like them.
I don't hate her myself, but at least for the first dozen hours or so she is written as an annoyance

Star Rail was already impressive for a f2p game but Zenless Zone Zero is just straight up on par with Persona in terms of style and on par (though simpler to fit mobile) with character action greats.
Cool to see Genshin money be put into development of better games

Basically, since MP regen in Umbral Ice is now not based on server ticks but rather on when an ice spell *hits*, BLM is pretty much unusable in dungeons because you have no regen between pulls.
Sharp cast and Thundercloud are gone too. The dps performance is lacking because of all that

The "certain jobs" ripping aggro issue is mostly Pictomancer.
If you prep your motifs beforehand, the damage is massive.
You can get Pom Muse -> Wing Muse -> Mog of the Ages in like less than 3 GCs if you have 2 charges of Muse and swiftcast.
You can then continue with hammer

Honey, I consider the FFXIV "great community btw" fanbase to be the worst and most cult-like of all fanbases.
Sony and Microsoft fans are also irrelevant in this conversation but as far as I know we are yet to see them cheer on erasure of video game preservation

TIL there's a subset of the FFXIV fanbase (that thinks they are the majority), that hate people who judge expansions by their stories.
Story is literally why HW, ShB and EW (on launch) were universally praised.
Final Fantasy in general is extremely story focused.

Because corporations deserve no praise for doing below bare minimum. Especially considering every time they say they are against something, it means they will do it anyway a few years later.

Yeah, Nintendo was also at one point not interested in:
- DLC
- Microtransactions
- Paid online
- Mobile games
- Finishing products post-release.
What they are saying is they don't have interest atm

It's a win on paper, except a huge chunk of those renewables aren't environment friendly either. Solar panels are the closest to being that. Wind turbines are hell for anyone living anywhere close to them and water power plants need to be limited in number to avoid destroying the eco system

So Dawntrail Spoilers I guess:
So we have another "Murderous monster is only like that because they were bullied in the past" and I'm sorry but this trope needs to die.
At this point it feels like CBU3 is telling us that "people with bad past experiences will be evil"

Honestly, the only pieces of Harry Potter media I can still at least respect are some of the movies and even then none of it is really thanks to JKR.
The John Williams score in the first three is some of his best work and Prisoner of Azkaban is overall great from an artistic standpoint

In retrospect, having seen all the movies and read all the books in 2 languages, I realized that many of the things the movies changed/left out were likely them going "we can't have this shit in our movie". ESPECIALLY Goblet of Fire, which removed all the gross house elf story bits

You know, with Endwalker there was an excuse of limited server availability and WAY more people playing the game.
There's no excuse for the state of the online structure with this release.
10-15 minutes to allow 400 people in is insane.
New players on NA also have basically no servers to start on

Dawntrail so far at 2nd half of the lv 90 branching path
- So far more respectful than expected
- Lots of this should have been established pre-release instead an FF4 fanfic
- Music is great
- Locations are really nice
- Aside from a few moments, the story isn't very engaging. It's boring

No idea if it's because of backlash or not but I'm glad they at least acknowledge that what Wuk Lamat does is kinda awkward politically.
Which honestly, that kinda makes the tourism ad campaign even worse. CBU3 understood that foreigner meddling in tural affairs is questionable, PR team didn't
