I'm allowed to hate what I want just as you are allowed to like what you like, I have no problem. With you liking slop it doesn't affect me in any way. But don't try to deflect with its because of the VA

Look, I'm probably one of the world's biggest XIV stans and I will champion it to the end of time. But even I can tell the story in this ex is below par.
If you were a true fan, you would recognise how great the previous expansions were and would understand how badly dawntrail misses the mark.
edit: to add further, we aren't being critical of the expansion because of a grudge against the developers, we're critical because we love the game and know that it can be, and has been better.
A glance at your post history and you are what you are calling out, you come here looking for posts you can bitch at and talk negatively about, you are literally all the worse things you claim others are. the minority of your recent posts are positive or non antagonistic towards another. Pot meet kettle.
This was the moment I decided to skip every cutscene from now on. I legit though, "Wow, Wuk is gone and were finally getting this epic fight with other WoL's!" Only to be ruined with her showing up. I was absolutely livid and over it at that point. I straight up skipped every cutscene after that. I couldn't bare it anymore.
That is... OK. It's just actual fact that Wuk Lamat took over the expansion at the detriment of every other character. She really didn't let anyone speak. Erenville and Krile got shafted so hard in what was supposed to be their story too.
Also lol at Cahcuia who was there for only 4 levels of the story having more lines than Krile, Alphinaud, and Alisaie who were there for all 10.
Have you ever read "The Critic as Artist" by Oscar Wilde? It's an interesting piece to consider. Might be a little too verbose for some of y'all though.
Are you telling me that white knights are using the only method they have of trying to delegitimize and suppress negative feedback on Dawntrail? That's crazy.
Truly Dawntrail has revealed those who like the game, but don't accept bottom of the barrel drivel, and those who would consume anything handed to them by SE.
I prefer Stormblood to Dawntrail. The story had a lot more going on and the characters were a lot more memorable to me. Ala Mhigo and Doma had lore presence as far back as ARR, but the only time I remember the 'new world' being mentioned prior to DT was occasionally in the blue mage questline.
Stormblood was okay. I was there at launch and I can tell you, there was NOT this amount of backlash or negativity, not even close. You saw more memes about Raubahn Extreme than complaints about the story at the time, that isn't to say everyone was happy but it was not even close to this level.
Funnily enough, my favorite part of Stormblood was the Azim Steppe. Stop me if you heard this one before:
You arrive in a foreign land inhabited by various tribes. You travel around and learn about their cultures and then you partake in a competition to determine who will be the new ruler of this land, on behalf of a local girl.
Strange how things play out sometimes...
