What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

Yeah, you peak as a healer so early in the game and not just gameplay-wise. After you understand that you should use your “free” healing stuff first before casting GCD heals, you find out that the game doesn’t do enough dmg to even warrant GCD heals most of the time.

People talk about how intricate and smooth WoW healer gameplay is so I do intend to try the game out at some point. Not sure if I can do that right now with all the hubbub going on behind the scenes, but definitely in the future.

If you have a PC, please do. It runs on potatoes and it's worth experiencing. You can play for free up to level 20 on any class, any character, anywhere except the final area. It's worth having something to compare to that plays as well as WoW does.

(Should also note, unlike FF, you get a good number of abilities at level 20. You also get to try all three specs of your character. Leveling is kind of stupid fast though. And the quest stories aren't anywhere near FF's level.)

I agree. Healers are fun to play in pvp, especially frontlines. I just love how chaotic it is and how you have to ration your healing kit.
I was told to do harder content when I talked about how awful 111111ing is. So I went and cleared savage and it was mostly the same. Then when I told people that they called me a toxic raider so…. there’s no winning, I feel like

Ugh, I don't want to derail the thread but I so do. I doubt the larger populace would want this conversation. I haven't tried FFXIV PvP and I'm hesitant to. Right now WoW PvP is a nuke fest so I can't really talk on either or. I've heard only bad things about FF though.

On Topic:
I do think that I would have enjoyed Endwalker if it was split into two expansions. Pacing issues abound, especially with the Loporrits. I honestly thought they were going to reveal the moon plan with the Forum members first, but they went around and showed the bunnies first? Weird. So when they announced it I was bored.

The whole Loporrits thing aggravated me to the next level. It was so... embarassing. Venat really thought a moon escape would work?

I mean, it probably would have worked, at least as far as escaping the Source itself. They were ready to go at a moment's notice. And despite the complaints that some may have had about their food, "forest" and clothing they would have survived. Then they would have been blindsided probably years later since the threat wasn't on the Source itself specifically but from deep space, but details.

Maybe not so much the idea itself but the writing around it. The whole cutesy, unknowing aspect of things. Calling you children because they didn't know humans had shrunk. It was all so cheesy and annoying.

The only satisfaction I got out of it was hearing Y'shtola say The Forum were their "special conspirators." I was half expecting none of the scions to be the wiser. Preparing myself for more disappointment.

[Edit] I should also add there was a surprising lack of urgency. Countries are being reaped by the Blasphemy and the scions are just nonchalantly hanging out with some rabbits.

The whole "Final Days" aspect could have used a lot more spicing up, in my opinion. I enjoyed the story overall but that is probably one of my few nitpicks.

FF PvP has it's problems, but I can only speak of Frontlines and it's chaotic so you don't really care what happens. Recommended for sure!

And yes, I didn't like the moon plan. The whole forum labyrinthos portion was a pretty obvious lead up though. Oh wells.
