Are we talking about the topic of the thread anymore? Lol.

6.0 was definitely in it's own league in terms of trying to answer very common questions regarding life ans suffering found in philosophical debates, but it was one singular expansion and post-patches have mostly dropped those themes. That's why this topic comes off as weird ragebait because you are really just talking about one singular expansion. Currently the MSQ is touching none of those themes present in 6.0 either, and I can't say the ride has been better for it quite honestly.

I loved 6.0 for those parts though because I found it fascinating and they made me think about things I otherwise wouldn't. That's one of the great things about media and entertainment, really. So I'm definitely biased.

7.0 will be it's own thing, I'm not sure why you're so concerned. But yes, I do hope for more time with new characters and pushing older characters either to chill on the side or giving them some good character progression that they didn't get in Endwalker.
