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

[Tsumdere]

I haven't even started it yet, been catching up on other stuff since I was gone since 6.1.
Now don't get me wrong, i posted on the "endwalker story bad" thread for years on my other account before i decided to come back to the game on this account.

So, I was under the impression that most of us here on the forum were going into this expansion with no expectations after the Endwalker travesty. Why are there so many hate threads right now? Is it really that bad lmao

For all its flaws, I liked Endwalker.

Dawntrail is unforgivably bad. It's riddled with plotholes that make the closed-time loop of Elpis look pathetic in comparison, bad and repetitive dialogue, completely flanderized characters, wasted opportunities, and the worst of it all - it's boring. It's preachy too, but then doesn't practice what it has been preaching for 20 hours the moment there is any sort of moral friction.

It is funny that the memory wipe could have been avoided if they had written anything you told them down lol.
