Dawntrail was great. More like this, please!

She also learned to like Alpacas, that traders like trading, and how to make tacos. Clearly the best character progression ever.

I was asleep during most of the MSQ. Did she actually learn to make Tacos? Or just do lame (with fists clenched) jokes about wanting to eat them?

As far as the expansion went.

I am dissapoint.

Yep and I'm reading why it is. That's my last response to your obvious trolling.

made a forum account just to plant a seed of positivity here. out of all the ffxiv stories, this was one where I never wanted to skip a single cutscene. I had such a good time, it was a really dense story and I'm grateful I've had so much free time this week to enjoy it all. Wuk Lamat made a great pseudo protagonist, you can tell she had a totally different air about her towards the end of the story (but yes... we need to talk about the # of fist clenches, team!). Tural was breathtaking. I think the weakest part of the story was def the mini western arc, but it began to connect with me later: the conflict surrounding the shootout duels was an excellent prelude to this conflict wuk lamat faces from that point on- that some times, it's a matter of who's stronger, who can take down who. and it really really carried to the very end. i could shower this in praise and i rlly just might!! im being fr bro i got a big heart!!!!!!! bravo

The xibruq pibil dish in the third zone looked like tacos. Or at least the basic concept in the US. A tortilla with some form of filling.

I've just unlocked job gear and want to give my thoughts so far. Dt took way to long to get interesting and it's a shame. Because the second half is REALLY good. The trial against zaroolja. OH MY GOD amazing/10. The music the design. All that was lacking was a decent character motivation. But at the same time I like it. It reminds me of the lion King and scar. Sometimes people are just wicked and there's not much more to it. This is zarool ja. A narcissistic manchild.

As for the rest of the second half. The zone "heritage found " has great music. Neo alexandria/solution nine is simply divine. It's a crime that it will die post dt. I also really loved that knight who was reincarnated in a mechanical body. Good lord his charm is off the roof. Every time he speaks I just want to be in his radiant presence. Well done on the casting on him.


Now. Let me speak about wuk lamat. In the first half i despised her. But.. you're meant to I think, even the wol doesn't have faith in her. But I think the reason we don't like wuk is because she's real. She's afraid of everything. She's loud annoying and downright ignorant of the world. But so too would any of us in her shoes be. Imo it was a bad idea to make her a hroth. As it makes it harder to relate to her tho this may just be personal. But towards the second half... she's definitely grown and become a worthy queen.

Lastly I want to talk about the wol. Dts biggest problem and the msqs biggest scape goat. Nerf this guy please. He is simply to strong now and it is ruining the story and its potential. Nothing ever feels threatening in his presence, I'm never worried about if he's going to be OK or get through it. In endwalker I felt like the wol was so much smaller. Being only 7/14s of the guy who couldn't do anything against mention. But in dt.. he feels like an unregulated power balance. This was why I liked zenos... he kept the wol in check. Killing zenos came at the cost of all of our strength and nearly killed us too. Again the story made me care for its protagonist again. So if I ask anything its that. The game should be about everyone. Not just wol watches everyone and carries them to victory.

I'm still at the 95 MSQ, but so far Dawntrail has utterly engrossed me. I am really enjoying seeing the incredible attention to detail in each zone, and each "people" seems like a living, breathing society. It's very refreshing to see. All of the natural zones, if you turn off the HUD, feel like real and viable ecosystems. Also, the pacing, in my opinion, is definitely more polished than Endwalker. The amount of superfluous content seems very minimal, and every MSQ quest has some significance to the story / world-building.

I also appreciate how the dialogue options provided to the WoL allow the player to express the (obvious) lack of experience Wuk Lamat has as a leader, so you really aren't forced to "like" her as a character if you don't want to.

I hope that SE continues to release content like this.
