Even our content creators cannot pretend to like the trashy writings of Dawntrail.

I'm not a Zelpa fan at all, but if she will be my champion voice to express my extreme displeasure with how the MSQ went, then so be it! At least they will hear her.

I dont need the confirmation of streamers that dawntrail MSQ sucks...i already found that out on my own.

And you think other content creators weren't also thanked for their own videos?

If he thinks so much of her opinions about the game, it's strange she didn't get to have one of the one-on-one interviews that Preach, Quazii and a few other content creators got to have with YoshiP.

I'm not here trying to defend anyone's honor. I'm saying that it's silly to sit there licking the feet of any content creator when there are hundreds of thousands of players that have their opinions that are just as valid as the opinion of someone who streams or posts videos online.

Honestly she's very entertaining and wish her all the best but the massive and sudden hate against Endwalker that definitely was not a coincidence was pretty cringe.

The moment when her character looks into the distance and she asks "Why am I here?" Is the actual Dawntrail experience.

It's when they are on the beach. I laughed out loud.

The criticism isn't limited to Zepla. Only thing special about Zepla is she has a background in writing. That said, overall DT is looking like a good expansion with a weak story. As the writing team is new it's understandable. Hopefully they take the negative critic as a lessons learned and move forward.

Unless we discover that there was an outside influence impacting the story, I don't see a lot of value in continuing to beat down the writing. I'm sure the team is already self aware.

Why are you moving the goal here?
So no opinion is worth anything as long as yoshida doesn’t do an interview with you?
As someone else said, he himself thanked her for her EW video.
I don‘t really like her but the amount of hate she got for voicing a negative opinion was just discussing with words like snake being thrown around.
I give her credit in that she was one of the first to criticize things. Other creators just go where the wind blows.

I haven’t watched much but so far I only really saw Woops not minding the story but he also called someone in the comments a woman hater for not liking Wuk Lamat so I know he is just an ***.

The content creators I saw seemed pretty divided tbh. Some seem to like the story and some don‘t.
Happy also seems more reluctant to give his opinion, probably looking how deep the water is first before jumping in.

Anyway. The fact alone that even they seem divided shows how polarizing the MSQ is.

This is not a team of new writers. The scenario writers for the MSQ were already working in XIV for years. One of them wrote for the Shadowbringers trial quest line.

So.. I could only force myself to watch a few minutes of that clip, and honestly I have no idea why she was reacting the way she did. It was as if she was looking for reasons to be offended every other moment.

Sorry if I'm missing the point, but is that usually the way her content is? I tend to play the game rather than watch others play it, so I guess I'm lacking context. Is it a FFXIV hater's club or something?

I watched her vod earlier while gathering, and her feelings on the msq matched my own in a lot of ways. The entire thing just feels so contrived and poorly written, borderline fanfic tier. She was right to point it out.
