  • As one of the several people who named their chocobo 'Tritoch', I'm a pretty big fan of Valigarmanda turning up.
  • A schism between the Scions over a war of succession does actually sound pretty good, but I'll tell you all right now, I know exactly which Scion I don't want on the side I pick.
  • The first new zone is basically Fantasy Machu Picchu, and you know what, I'm happy: that is exactly number one on my list of places I'd want to go in a South America fantasy setting. The second zone is clearly the Amazon, which is also cool.
  • Overall, big FFX vibes and even bigger FFIX vibes, what's not to love? (Well, the lack of blitzball, but we'll live)

I'm pretty happy about this one, all-up, which is a welcome chance from when I basically spent every single 'Endwalker hype' leadup event feeling bummed out that it wasn't doing stuff I wanted. I feel like that might be because Endwalker was the first expansion I was really around for the pre-release hype for (I was cognizant of Shadowbringers' leadup, but didn't really care outside of the Nier raids), so I unconsciously set my hopes wrong; not too high, per se, but more too specific. If you go in wanting Gelmorra and Chemist, and then get neither, you're not gonna like anything you do get.
They're gonna knock it off right from Hunter x Hunter's current arc and have scions split due to the candidates they support aren't they?
