By far the most boring and disappointing expansion trailer this game has had

Buddy, having to constantly up the stakes would just kill the intended effect when shit goes down. It's actually bad storytelling for a narrative to always have bigger and bigger stakes everything without falling action.

The 1st arc of FFXIV is concluded. It's time for us to start anew again.

When I say everyone, I mean everyone who was disappointed with Endwalker, not the 10M players.

forum challenge: take a shot every time someone vaguely mentions a silent majority (bonus shot if they change the number every time) or minority in their post

Music was a little weird but I'm down to get away from being the most important person in the universe.

Speaking about the trailer and only the trailer I only liked it aesthetics-wise.

The music and the general vibe was kind of a turn off. And I really can't think of anything that could change that. Like, next teaser is probably gonna show that the WoL was holding a pistol on his offhand, okay.
Perhaps we see Krile or Zero or -character I didn't expect- on CG form? big woop. Doesn't really change anything.

In the same spirit of this expansion, I believe ripping shots will unironically be a part of MSQ, lmao. Yoshi P mentioned that the pelupelu can make mezcal which is more or less tequila.

"it has always been bad so it's fine that it's bad again"

Hey, I'm not the one who decided to pull out all the superlatives to call it the Absolute Worst Ever when 'sparring practice and shots of rocks with zero reveals of anything' is right there.

Comparatively, it ain't even close, and any argument to the contrary is beyond delusional. Which, to be fair, is par for the course around here.

Do people really hate the Stormblood teaser? I thought the WoL and Lyse sparring was great.

I didn't hate it, per se. It's visually interesting.

But as a teaser, I don't know what it was actually trying to accomplish. It didn't tease a single thing that we didn't already know.

Guess I'm in a minority that been enjoying Endwalker a lot. I honestly don't understand all the hate for this expansion or 7.0. Perhaps someone can fill me in?

It only really exists on this forum, which has been an "echo chamber" of negativity for the entire life of the game. Go practically anywhere else and you'll see tons of people who are really enjoying EW. Heck, even the doomsayers on here love to claim that it's the only place on the internet you can actually be negative about the game without being bombarded with people who love it getting on your case. The forum here is like the bizarro world where the exact opposite is true.

Personally, I'm having a blast with EW. I love the story, the music is amazing, and there's so much to do that I haven't even started IS or the new Variant Dungeon yet (and I'm still doing things from several previous expansions, too). I find the game a ton of fun.

SE really knows how to get casual players excited. All they need to do is show Graha eating taco and the players squeal, calling it a good trailer already.

Which is why Im not surprised the game has catered more to casuals. Im not hardcore my any means but I do want to struggle in my mmos and expect badass cinematics. Maybe it will happen during the full reveal, who knows.

To be fair, that Taco demonstrated some 4th wall breaking meme awareness on CBUIII's part:

My daily post count isn't going to survive this either.

Guys. I figured it out. Striker doesn't necessarily like EW, because Striker isn't playing EW. Striker likes older expansions and is confusing those for EW because that's the name on the tin. Maybe there's hope for him. Maybe one day he'll reach EW content and realize that it kinda sucks.

What’s interesting is we will probably see something similar to what happened in wow

A lot of people didn’t like the direction of the game post wrath since the first three expansions basically tied up all the loose ends from Warcraft 3. There was a lot of criticism on the direction of the story in cataclysm as it indicated the ending of one saga and the beginning of another

People didn’t like the direction of the story / the game, pretty sure we are seeing and will continue to see something similar here
