Shadowbringers Feature Lists 9 New Dungeons... I count Eight?

... Am I crazy? Did I miss one? Or was there a mistranslation somewhere? I remember it being advertised that there would be nine new dungeons.

No conspiracy theories or attacking the devs, just wondering if i'm nuts or something.

Hmm...you're right...

I think the 9th dungeon was the Treasure Map thing.

They also said I would become a Warrior of Darkness. They did a lot of creative marketing with this expansion.

The player is working to bring darkness back to a world oversaturated in light; hence, Warrior of Darkness. What exactly did you think this would entail?

To become a Warrior of Darkness, maybe flip the script. Not just change our title because of semantics. We are still the same person fighting the same fight against the same big bads who are doing the same thing they always do. I was hoping they would shake things up a bit especially has hard as they leaned on that WoD thing. It was a trivial part of the story at best and they made it sound like a huge plot twist.

They were definitely selling it as something a lot more "embracing the power of Darkness" and turning away from being the Warrior of Light with our powers linked to Light and Hydaelyn's blessing... only for it to turn out that all we're actually doing is using our normal Warrior-of-Light-ish abilities to contain the Light and bring back the natural balance of darkness (not Darkness) without having any powers relating to that side of things.

Personally I'm happy it turned out this way - I couldn't see how it was thematically going to work otherwise - but it was definitely advertised to us as something other than what we got.

Not gonna lie, I loved this expansion, but I was really hoping to be Zodiark's new chosen for a bit and learn both sides of this story ourselves.

Maybe by not using our specific powers of light to resolve the situation? I kind of feel like my character is a fraud for being called a Warrior of Darkness.

I think some of you are placing a lot more weight on the light/dark thing than was "advertised"

Have you ever played FF3? The Warriors of Darkness in that game never opposed the Warriors of Light, and even helped you out against the final boss. Yet when some people heard about the whole WoD thing for FF14 it had them wondering if we would become the outright evil villains of the story. Uhh, no?

Anyone who was expecting a huge WoL characterization shakeup hasn't been paying attention, IMO.
