Zepla: Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I have played

[VelKallor]

Oh yes

Equating WOD with Endwalker is the most hilarous take there can ever be. The two are nothing alike in any sense. Saying that its fine to take breaks in WOW when the game is an endless series of chores like Torghast to stay ahead of the player power curve, and has been so for YEARS?

In WoD...unless you raided, there was basically nothing for you to do. In EW, we have things to do, but they didn't really bother to make most of it fun, engaging or even worthwhile. So yeah, I guess the similarity would be that neither of them are particularly fun? Beyond that...I'd take EW despite it flaws over WoD any day of the week. WoD was bad. No one can really understand just how bad unless they were there.

No I don’t have to watch it. Op posted enough that I don’t need to watch a 30 minute video as a prerequisite to posting. Posts were made here within minutes of this thread starting that I doubt watched it.

I think it's also especially notable that Zelpa is saying this because, as she mentions in the video, she was on of the people in the early 6.x patches telling people to wait and see what was coming. AND she has built her online "brand" as an FFXIV content creator as one of the original WoW refugees and is seeing parts of what drove her away from WoW in the FFXIV development teams lack of engagement and dismissive responses.

As someone who extensively played WoD, yes, EW is very similar to the expansion and it makes a lot of people uncomfortable that it’s the truth. If you are someone who is up to date, there is no content in EW with any repeatability value like we saw in SB or SHB. There is nothing like eureka or bozja to grind. Both expansions have a very similar vibe: if you don’t raid, there isn’t much to do that the expansion itself provides.

I personally think that saying someone can go back and explore previous expansion content is a bit of a cop out, it’s not applicable to everyone. I finished eureka. I finished bozja (for the most part, havnt done the dalriada), so while it works for new players who havnt explored everything the expansions have to offer, it’s not a one size fits all solution.
