Goodbye Shadowbringers

[RyuDragnier]

Definitely my favorite expansion to date. It has hit hard emotionally just as hard as HW, has given backstory to characters who once had none, and made us care about people we never thought we'd ever actually care about. It's the peak of FF14's writing, and soon we will witness the end of it all, the end of an entire storyline, the end of an era.

I will wait for Endwalker to drop when they finally reveal the Zenos back story to watch all of the nay sayers suddenly say "DUDE ZEONOIS IS THE BEST CHAD EVER" Shadowbringers is the best expansion. There is no denying that fact regardless of your misguided opinion folks. The Nier story did suck but the actual raids were decent. It was not a great idea for a collab though and I think they should stay away from collabs in the future outside of events.

I liked Heavensward more, Shadowbringer was lackluster on many aspects. I do like the addition of Viera though.

How so? I mean Sage is not doing anything that WHM or SCH aren't doing already. (well except fake Dark Arts to get a dot)

isnt it supposed to be more interesting gameplay wise?
on healer forum they call whm glare mages for a reason

I feel this, and i agree

Thank you for the tears on 5.0 and 5.3 MSQ.

I also had fun moment on Ishgard Restoration, and seeing people excited with the spa there

Loved the first "arc" of the expansion (what was released at the launch) but it lost me a bit overtime.

Just because SE calls it a dps healer, doesn't mean it has interesting thigns to do for dps. For the majority of the time it will do the same 'upkeep DoT and spam nuke' the other healers do, just with a small heal attached that's basicly a targeted version of the SCH fairy. It's got a bigger dmg sspell on a 45s cool down, but that's not really much to break the monotony.
And while it does get a dps resource from shields breaking, the spell that consumes this resource, durign the media tour build, was a gcd aoe equal to your basic nuke, thus resulting in a net dmg loss no matter what(due to needing gcd cast shields to generate the resource). Even for movement, it's the same at not casting anything at best, and looses out to just refreshing your dot to soon.

I feel the same way. It was a good xpac with a good story and I really liked a lot of the gear sets and weapons (quintana ravel healer set for example and my current lady Maria cosplay I didn't even have to glam). Music was really nice as well and I really liked the zones. I'm eagerly awaiting endwalker and like most people I am I'm dire need of new content. The eden raids were fun, the neir raids were cool minus red girl dolls and since I hate zones like bozja and eureka I can't comment on those. Aumourot can do exactly that and rot in the depths of forgotten garbage forever. I will never forget the first time i ran Holminster switch and thought "woa this is really cool", and I still love how it breaks every Fibre of a tanks confidence. I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoy the music in shb. Imo much better xpac then SB. Here's to endwalker being a slam dunk (with awesome striking sets )

Same here. Loved that part much more than Stormblood and nearly as much as Heavensward.
