Endwalker is my least favorite expansion yet

[Mithron]

Then how do you explain how awesome and unique Zodiark is? It's my favorite EW trial by far and one of my most favorite overall.

It wasn't awesome or unique. The only unique mechanic was Astral End, which is barely anything. Ramuh ex, Nidhogg ex, even Seiryu ex all have truly unique mechanics. Zodiark was a massive let down for 10 years of buildup.

All the asteroid and memory stuff in Endsinger is neat. I think the mechanics in the others are really great too, just the aesthetic that I'm not really into. Barbaricca was well-received for example and I thought it was really good, just too green for me, like Rubicante is too much fire for me.

I didn't find any of them neat or interesting. Barb was just repeated mechanic vomit coming out really fast and I can't even bother to try Rubi ex. Comparing Endsinger ex to Thordan, Shinryu and Hades, it's clear she's by far the worst.

The Tower of Zot fight's mechanics are fast-paced as well which is a change from a lot of fights.

Tower of Zot was a great dungeon for its difficulty and I did enjoy the trash and bosses, but it's just a dungeon. Most of the other dungeons suck, especially the dungeon leading up to Endsinger.

And the raids are great too. I don't know how you can do the current savage raids and not think they are good, memorable and interesting. I know they are for me.

Both O1s and O5s completely ruined my desire to push any further. Hot cold in O1s was so poorly designed especially for off tanks, and O5s devour was also terribly designed. Neither are even unique. They're not hard, just annoying and anti-fun.

And what about the 24-person raids? Aglaia was probably one of the most well-received alliance raids in history, if not the most. The Rhalgr fight and the last fight are memorable! The others were interesting too, like Byregot's platform mechanics.

Algaia was okay, but it left me feeling "Oh, THESE are the gods and goddesses we've been referring to since forever? That's it?"
