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

You say "This forum" like there are any other forums that you can actively be in any way critical of XIV, lest you get dogpiled and labeled as a "Toxic hater". .

4chan is very critical of the story too, although I'm not sure whether they're actually mad at the story or mad at this "Sweet Baby" thing I keep seeing.

/r/ffxivdiscussion is very critical of the story. You can see it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxivdiscus...iscussion_hub/

/r/ffxiv is also mildly critical of the story, though it's more mixed: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...il_rises_to_a/

/r/MMORPG is critical. https://www.reddit.com/r/MMORPG/comm...ting_on_steam/

Steam is mixed. Dawntrail is at 60% right now.

GameFaqs is mixed and leans critical: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards...trail/80799642, https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards...trail/80800359

5ch is very critical: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxivdiscus...dawntrail_msq/ (Although once again it's... 5chan).

Anecdotally I've also seen a lot of criticism in shout chat. On my Discord servers and in-game interactions it's also mixed to lean-critical.

Only Twitter is unabashedly positive about DT.

Here's the thing about people who say only the official forums are critical: they want to gaslight you into believing you are in an echo chamber. When really if you go on all kinds of different discussion hubs like I do you can clearly tell that it's a lie. The reception to this expansion is at best mixed right now. Once Metacritic goes live we'll see even more criticism.
