To be honest, going to the First Shard is probably the aspect of the expansion that I'm least excited for. It feels like filler to me when there are so many places that we could have gone to that we already have some familiarity with and have been relevant to us in the past. I looked forward to seeing more of the cloud cover get pulled away on the world map, and beyond what they've shown us in previews so far, I really don't care about any of these locations or their inhabitants at all.

But I'll admit I'm biased in that this all reminds me of an isekai anime, and there's nothing I hate in anime more than isekai.
