Endwalker is a masterpiece

I agree, error code 2002 is a masterpiece. Well done SE. Bravo. /golfclap

I am actually excited over the escort stuff and not because of what it is but what it can be in the future. Little by little they are really making it a more single-player experience while still having an MMO alongside it.

I liked it very much, reminded me of the party following you on the map and stuff like that. Very FF classic feeling. I don't need 1,000 escort missions in a general sense, like an escort FATE or something, but I absolutely loved the touch and I DO want to see ideas expand on it (just like I want to see the trust system itself expand). Would also encourage some touches of FFXV's traveling, camping, that it had. There were a few issues I had with the game (FFXV), but my favorite part was the whole journey with your friends, camp, cooking, talking thing. I do want to like my companions lol, and systems like that help a lot.

While I'm sure some cock their head sideways at the thought the more I play FFXIV the more I'm sold that an MMORPG is a unique avenue in telling an excellently epic scale sRPG like experience (which isn't to say remove the multiplayer aspects, just that existing within the multiplayer game could be this grand narrative that is very sRPG inspired and potentially sRPG player welcoming).

I would definitely do omega and bahamut if you aren't in a big rush to get to EW endgame.

Thanks ! Yea I have no will to rush through it, I want to level up my craft jobs a bit and do these raids before starting ( I still haven’t finished 5.4 and 5.5 because... well I got distracted lol).

I can’t start anyway with these queues so it might take a while sadly.

So queues aside which are a major issue it is a pure masterpiece. I had little confidence they could followup Shadowbringers because I have never seen an MMO developer one up themselves after putting up a great release or expansion.

It is inconceivable this was done in 2 years since they launched Shadowbringers. The size is just ridiculous and makes Shadowbringers look small in comparison.

They keep just one upping themselves in the MSQ. Everytime something epic happens it is followed by something even more EPIC.

Shadowbringer was already 1/5 but Endwalker - oof - this cringeworthy and facepalm inducing excuse of a plot suitable for children morning cartoons.. especially then ending... can't say it was worth of its price.
But each to their own I guess. I'm glad that you enjoyed it, not so much for me.

My face when I had to endure the cutscenes, especially at the end:

This basically, never got the hype around a story. I guess it's good for an MMO if that's all you play though.

Just finished the MSQ. And to be honest, I'm sad because I don't feel this way. I really liked the lvl 85-87 part though. I don't understand...I've been frustrated the whole time. Those mini quests, some characters, even my WoL, got on my nerves sometimes ( I should be used to it), the pacing, ...The story is slow. I thought it would get better but I don't know...
The last time I felt that way was after I've played FF6 and FF12 : games so good that it "broke" my gaming experience. I think that Shadowbringer and Heavensward also broke my gaming experience.
PS : sorry for my bad english.

You didn't pay for early access. You paid for the game. You are not owed special treatment at all.

Still amazes me that people still dont realise Early Access was merely a bonus.

DO NOT READ IF U DONT WANT SPOILERS

Okay, so I have to give my opinion, you dont have to agree with me - those are just my thoughts

I play this game since 1.0 - for 11 years now this game always talked about Zodiak etc etc as we all know. Then he is the very first boss fight and he just kills himself at the end? For 11 years they build all this just so he could kill himself? Huh? ( I know it was Hermes doing but still, this doesnt leave me satisfied at all)

And everything that happend, everything, the end of Amaurot - a whole planet, civilization and everything that came after all for what? Because one guy was a super emo lord and because his pet alien birds didnt find happy life forms on other planets? So he decides that everyone has to die? WHAT!?

Dynamis, never mentioned in 11 years, never - then we hear a lil bit here and all of a sudden its the master power that will save everyone. HUH?

The moon hyped in the trailer, even a whole music video with SIA for what? So were there 10mins never to return?

Cutscenes, voice acting, everything was good - but the ending and reasoning why everything had to happen doesnt leave me satisfied at all. Maybe I was expecting to much. But after all this years I really thought after hearing about Zodiak and doom 24/7 it would have been a more epic thing and not a depressed edge lord and his pet bird and zodiak dying like this.

Sorry to hear, mate. I loved the story exactly because of what you describe.

It seems you were expecting something very predictable. Which is not what FF14 has been about since 3.0.

Personally I was at the edge of my seat until the very end, not knowing what to expect - and I love how they tied all the threads together.
