Aside from 99% of everything in Elpis, because I seriously can't get enough of the Ancients and would gladly trade whatever plans the devs have for 7.0 or 8.0 in exchange for an entire expansion set in the Unsundered World?

I was quite fond of 99% of what went down in Garlemald, too. I've got my gripes about that, of course, and I'm also of the mind that we should've gotten a Greater Garlemald expansion that ended in the capital rather than containing the entire thing to one zone, but what we got was good enough, I think.

I also really like what I've seen in Pandaemonium, the Sharlayan idiot who sent us there aside. Themis and Erichthonios are lovely characters, and it was nice to see a side to Lahabrea that was unfortunately absent due the lack of planning that went into him in prior MSQ content. I even think Athena, a sociopathic megalomaniac with a penchant for human transmutation, is a pretty rad villain. She's what Amon-daniel should've been, honestly.

Finally, I like Zero. I don't care some details, as usual. But I'm a sucker for broken people learning to live again, and Zero scratches that itch well enough for me. I can only hope they don't do something stupid with her in 6.4, 'cause "the writers do something stupid with a character I warmed up to" has been a recurring problem with Endwalker for me, but that's for the future.

Now, I'm not saying "Go play another game if you're so bothered" since that's a stupid thing to say overall. But I don't understand why you guys want to remain in the game, knowing it won't change, knowing Square hasn't heard anyone's voice thus far...
For me? Hope, mostly. Right now I'm in the "only paying one month per patch at most" phase of walking away, but so long as there's some hope that CBU3 will look at the backlash Endwalker received and course correct. And if they don't, well, I've got a pretty big backlog to work through, games I've been itching to replay, and so on.

In fact, I'm not even paying my sub right now. Couldn't log in if I wanted to. I only have forum access because it takes weeks for the verification check to kick in.

Especially not when so many people have praised the expansion, both within and outside the forums.
Prepare to cringe.


But seriously, I am never going to give a fuck about that.
