Dawntrail is so painful; is it on purpose?

Which should honestly clue you in on how bad the writing in this expansion was.

Let me compare this in Anime terms. If ARR to EW was One Piece, DT is Fairy Tail.

Hey now, don't trash Fairy Tail, at least Fairy Tail is enjoyable if you turn your brain off and don't think too critically about what's happening.

I'd compare it more to Boruto. Trash writing, too much filler, steps on established characters to prop up new ones, characters get unearned powerups to surpass characters with many many more years worth of experience in combat.

We're playing Wuk Lamat: FFXIV Next Generations

Now we just have to wait for our character to get sealed away and for every single piece of fodder to be stronger than Endsinger
