MSQ:
This felt the weakest story going into another expansion, the Zenos instance was fun but the whole drag us out and get saved by Estinien off screen irked me i feel that should've been shown or had the player control Estinien to force Zenos away.

Elidibus the emissary of Zodiark has no idea what Solus is planning so either he blindly trusts Solus with the 1st shard problem or he is acting more foolish now than he has ever been must be the body. Also if that truly is the extent of Elidibus's power then we are indeed getting quite powerful, Zenos you probably do not want to fight us as you might be a fly when we get back

Varis has gone loco for his ambition creepy face says all us going to the 1st is going to mess with the source's political state horribly, unfortunately this is also where all tension and suspense for the expansion is for me atm what is going to happen while we are away not for where we are going.

The very build up for ShB is near non existent i think we should've had a try at going to the 1st get a glimpse of Thancred/Y'shtola/Urianger fighting a sin eater and failed to actually travel there, thereby requesting Cid and the students to try to find a way to add more power so we can travel they needed time so we give it. It would give us as a character more drive to find our friends than currently and make us think about us not continuing the war.

Right now i feel as a character we should stay on the Source and finish the war the Enigmatic voice said win or lose lies a calamity, well buckaroo i don't see how the Alliance winning the war brings a calamity but i sure see how Garlemald might cough Black Rose cough. So i think i should stay and stop them since calamity means a shard is rejoined and it's inhabitants die feels more important since while my friends are coma tose they don't appear to be in any danger to my knowledge.


Hildabrand:
Love the goofiness of Greg and it does seem like Hildy will be joining us on the 1st may get another Greg trial as well though feels weird we bringing a Raz-at-Hahn bad guy with us who is knowledgable about Alchemical substances wonder how he will fit in maybe the new straight man


Beast Tribe:
Nice to know Miqo'te are exceedingly rare in the far east so much so the locals don't even know their racial name, Feels weird seeing the allied beast tribe villian met a 'supposed' death at the hands of a shark of all things, but there was no way they could bring him into the 1st shards's allied beast tribe quests, nice to see full closure of the Kugane Castle dungeon storyline
