On a scale of 1 - 10, how disappointed are you so far with Stormblood news?

5/10.
After learning Ala Mihgan history, I have no interest in joining their "revolution" voluntarily or not. A greatly Oriental half of the expansion is not exactly new or refreshing seeing as Mists of Pandaria wasn't all that long ago + various other very Japanese locale-themed games lately. Seems too sudden. Would be nice to put some faces to the Garlean bogeymen though.

Then again I had very little interest in Ishgard either being full of stuck-up zealot elves, but the campaign was a pretty nice experience.

I'm ok with being pleasantly surprised, so as long as the gameplay is fun and continues to improve the score means nothing. Just not a lot of hype.

Mists of Pandaria wasn't all that long ago + various other very Japanese locale-themed games lately.

Mists of Pandaria was 4 years ago. How long exactly are other games supposed to wait before they're allowed to have Japanese themed locales? Also I wasn't aware that there was a quota for how many are allowed to exist at the same time?




Personally I'm pretty excited about Stormblood. I have no need for the game to change radically - I know what I like and FFXIV has been pretty in line with it so far, so I wouldn't be at all disappointed if the new expansion brought more of the same.
