Last Zone in Dawntrail... wtf!

The last zone is unique and beautiful... and then we make it look like another derelict, crap heap. Seriously, wtf?

Ohh, more gray castles, oohhhh. This last zone went from a 10/10 to 3/10. Just basic gray stone crap.
I honestly feel bad for the devs that put time into it, just to have to destroy it all.

Yeah it really went from "Somewhere I want to gpose in" to "somewhere I wish to avoid" really fast. I've heard you can New Game+ to fix it as an option, but that just feels so... unnecessary.

I had hoped that there will be a way to restore it to the old glory. I'm guessing my last hope is that we do this in a Patch MSQ, but the final cutscene did not suggest anything of the sort from what I remember. Really a huge shame, surely the Sharlayan masterminds Koana and Krile could figure something out with the sassy cat girlboss and the leader of the First turned WOL simp.

Well you can use NG+ to restore it if that helps :)

Yeah it's a bad civ

Gameplay > story. Always.

And before you say anything to try and counter that.

WE CAN TELEPORT... Yet we never do in the story?
WE CAN REVIVE PEOPLE... Yet we never do in the story? And Pheonix downs are thing in the world.

I like it narratively, but it will get old with time, kinda like the zone music in UT. I have a hunch we'll be back there though, and we may restore life to it in the future in some form, it does seem strange that they went through all that effort making that beautiful zone only to have it exist for like, 2 hours.

In the interim, you can toggle on NG+ and get the old version back. It's not a perfect solution, but it is an option

can you still fly around and do fates and hunts like normal, or does it block anything like that? Because I'll probably do that if so.

You can still do everything there is to do there (fates, hunts and side quests). Personally I didn't care for the zone. It felt like a creepy Vegas (including fake Venise).

I think I liked it because I survived Unus Annus, and it rang true to that experience. I do understand where you're coming from though; it was beautiful. I think you do get a kind of Everywhere at the End of Time remix of the theme though!

The gameplay doesn't change. The difference is entirely aesthetic.

Been a while since I did my lore homework but I think I recall some of these points...

We do actually teleport but it's apparently super rare. They do it in Endwalker. A role quest in Dawntrail pokes fun at our use of this rare magic that we use when we ask for a quest giver to "cover our teleportation costs" and they then look at you with utmost confusion then reply with "Excuse me but... what's Teleportation?"

Phoenix Down's don't bring back the dead they bring you back from the brink of death or from unconsciousness. Same thing for Raise, really. In game lore if we wipe in a dungeon it means we're all knocked out and it's assumed the enemy would then just finish us off, slit the characters throats or eat them etc... Thankfully we have the Echo so any wipe in game is us seeing a failure before it happens. lol

I like the unpainted gunpla/warhammer look more tbh

they told us in the beginning they dont have their aetherytes for long in tural. koana brought them over. so it makes sense for a bunch of tribes living in the countryside to not know about teleportation

which makes some of the aetherytes weird.

same thing as Ishgard , time to "rebuild " DOH/DOL !

Same. It just looks more interesting than 'obvious amusement park facades'

eexcept we did.
in EW we and scions praise the Aetheryte teleportation so that we don't need to go through 'that kind' of teleportation over again and there're some few occasions they'd mention WoL will go through via teleportation on our own

I find the derelict environment kind of charming.

A restore project could be based for it for player content to do, just some thoughts....

But I agree, I thought they learned their lesson with Ultimate Thule.

We should invite Godbert. Make it into the New World Goldsaucer!
