Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

It’s so funny how people are already using the “play other games” cope. Usually you only see that in a drought, not after an expansion launch! I don’t understand why people who’ve been playing this game for ten years and thousands of hours are suddenly being told “this isn’t the game for you” because they don’t like the writing.

But we are playing another game. We wanted to play FF14, but instead we're playing Dawntrail.

I see what you did there, clever, very clever.

It's been a good to for a lot of people on 14 discussion though it's shocking to see it being thrown around so early. Such a great story where it's casuing people to be told to quit 3 days in

It's not other peoples' job to get you to enjoy the story, or to agree with your discontent. Stories are a subjective medium of entertainment, and you guys have clearly already decided that it's just the worst thing ever. So what would be the point of trying to discuss it with you further at that point?

I'm quite happy with what I've played through so far. It's a world/character building expansion coming off the tail of the climax to a 10 year story-arc that wrapped up pretty much all of the major plot-lines. My expectations going in were for something much different and slower-paced. Something more akin to ARR. Voice acting has been fine, pacing has been fine, my character's role has been fine. I've enjoyed Wuk Lamat as a newbie point-of-view for Tural, and the setup for the rite of succession and all that, and I've enjoyed getting to explore a bunch of new lore and history. Sorry you don't, but as far as I can tell, there are plenty of people that ARE enjoying it. Not sure what you guys are expecting them/us to say?

This isn't exactly true. I would argue that's the job of the writing team.

That said, they did do their job where I'm standing. It sort of felt like a microcosm of ARR-EW though. You have to slog through the beginning to get to the good stuff.

I'm talking about their peers that are telling them that they're free to go play/do something else if they're unhappy with the current story.

I'm not gonna wade into the sphere of the customer/provider-relationship when it comes to creating art/entertainment as a product. That'd be more time than I want to spend on here, lol.
