Dawntrail is the expansion we needed after Endwalker

[Rithy255]

I'd be more excited if there wasn't scions.

That's not what I meant.

What I meant (though didn't really make it as clear as I should've) is that it'd be refreshing to have a thread created specifically to discuss a positive opinion around the teaser trailer, since we already have at least two or three threads specifically discussing negative opinion of it.

It was clear that that was the definition of "counter" you meant, no worries.

Not that I see what the big sin of "making a thread to talk about something positive b/c you got tired of seeing a bunch of negative stuff" is, exactly. The inciting event that gave you the push to make the thread doesn't negate the validity of the opinion expressed in the thread. This subtext that some seem to think of "the negativity is genuine, while the positivity is just brainwashing/shilling/disingenuous" is really idiotic.

To be on topic:

I am also looking forward to this expansion, given the trailer. I like the tone. But, then, I also expect and look forward most to what I think will be a B plot regarding the void or world travel or something else interesting that will tie into whatever the new meta-story arc is gonna be. I really don't think that this expac's story will be completely self-contained and somehow just not matter once its over, like an actual beach episode. That'd be very weird. Even Stormblood, despite basically having nothing to do with Ascians in its main story, had its follow ups. If DT doesn't, then it will feel oddly isolated from the rest of the world, imo.

Yes, I am genuinely happy to see this expansion, its theme and the wonderful use of colors. It feels like a wonderful, vibrant, adventure in contrast to what we experienced in Endwalker.

For me, I really needed this expansion!

I updated my original post to make sure its not mistaken for sarcasm

Thanks! ^_^

Thanks for clarifying, after being here a while it can be hard to tell I'm very happy you are excited for the expansion - I'm keeping an open mind. I am happy they are going in a new direction and really hope they nail the landing on the new story. I'm not sold quite yet, but am hopeful.

imo it's too early to say that but if you feel that way, I'm fine with that^^
As for me personally there's no Good Summer Vacation without Kaiten.
Also.. I saved the Entire Universe at lvl90 but I reach lvl100 on a Summer Vacation.. huh.. but well, I anticipated to save the Thirteenth Shard in 7.0 Dawnsinger. Though I'm kinda glad to be wrong about that since I made plans for alts that I would play for that Scenario, since that didn't happen, there is also no reason to make those alts.
But I also liked the Gameplay of Endwalker until 6.1 ..so yeah I hope they Bring Back Kaiten and then
Every Day is a Summer Vacation~

Just wanna say, Dawnsinger is a cool name for an expac. They could introduce songstress (songster?) as a class. Could be dope. lol

I've enjoyed all the expansions. I hope this one build a sense of new adventures we want to look forward too. Also one that introduces a score of new characters. They certainly have extra time for development lets hope it will be worth the wait.

[PercibelTheren]

I hope the story actually picks up and is a bit darker than "beach episode". We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

[TaleraRistain]

I'm looking forward to it. You can't have everything too heavy or you desensitize people to the low parts so something lighter is a welcome change. And I fully expect it will be the "beach episode but things go horribly wrong in some manner" type of story and will hopefully add some threads for the next overarching story arc.

We need the reset due to the weak afterwards of 6.0. Biggest problem reset is nearly all the scions are somewhat force to join on the adventure. I want new characters joining the adventure and im ok sometimes old ones can tag along. It might be reason of Duty Support we are stuck with them.

They did mention new Duty Support members. I'll be curious to see who those are.
