Are y'all expecting too much from Dawntrail's story?

I feel like it lived up to what we were told it would be. A fun adventure with overall smaller stakes than we saw in Endwalker. Endwalker was the end of a 10 year journey. Thought the expansion was a lot of fun. This was our beach episode.

I do think the story could have been trimmed a bit. Maybe cut down on the whole successor storyline to only 4 objectives instead of seven. Enjoyable as they were, I do think that much lore being dropped at once has led to the feeling by some that it's slow. Thought the back half MSQ story was excellent.

Enjoyed all the new characters. Though Wuk Lamat was great. Think there's been a lot of bad-faith criticism about her from the gamergate 2.0 crowd, but what can you expect from that type.

Only notable story criticism is that I think most the scions were very underutilized to the point I think the devs missed the chance to make this a new starting point for the game. Cut most them out (I would have kept Krile and Estinien), and make a modified MSQ for new players. Basically do for new players in 7.0 what 2.0 did for it's new players.

That aside, I really enjoyed it, and I think there's some excellent hooks for future storylines.

Bullcrap. I wouldn't have even known about their deal if I hadn't tried to look up if I was the only one who thought that voice acting was terrible.
