What Dawntrail Changes Were for the Worse?

[Loggos]

Ishikawa didn't write anything after Endwalker, as far as I understand?

The writer for Dawntrail is Daichi Hiroi which...I don't want to be mean to the guy. But he is *subpar*. Wrote some class and role quests, 5.5 and 4.4. All of the stuff he's done I really didn't like, apart from Tataru's Grand Endeavour, which he did do and I thought it was at least cute. The problem is that his writing works well enough for very light-hearted side content. But for a whole expansion, he is 100% not cut out for it, and it should have been clear from the beggining.

Thank you for the clarification!
This is oddly comforting because at least now I know that it wasn't Ishikawa who gave us the terrible writing that is DT...
Though, of course I wish she could actually have written it instead of Daichi Hiroi.

This is a bit offtopic but

do you know why she didn't write anything after EW? She was so acclaimed and EW was overall still very well received. Did she leave herself? Because otherwise I can't imagine why they would not give another expansion to one of their most prolific writers...
