about announcement, personal thought

Yeah, Shadowlands has that shock value, I guess, but doing an afterlife expansion might be over the top. Then again, people still complained about Sylvanas defeating Bolvar, so it kind of tempers that reveal.

As for Shadowbringers, we learned we'll go to another shard to prevent a calamity, great. Meanwhile, for Endwalker, we learned that we will finish the story of Hydaelyn and Zodiarc in .0, not even waiting to stretch it to .3 and we get to see what's next for .1. That's more interesting to me.

Either way, whichever reveal you find more interesting, to say it's more of the same is still too reductive. More of the same would just them saying we'll have new MSQ without even a hint of what it will be. Instead, we get the general structure of the MSQ and hints about the raid and alliance raid and other stuff. That's not mere "more of the same."

I didnt like the Shadowlands setting at all, its incredibly absurd and makes no sense we are killing immortal, eternal dead people with not even so much as an explanation to what happens when they die there, its absolutely horrible lore wise, but I admit I was pretty hyped about the trailer. We really didnt get anythign epic in the trailer. They couldve shown Estinien or just smth, I just dont really feel like its much. Its tbh giving me Stormblood 2 vibes, but its WAY too early to make assumptions
