    I really appreciate that Dawntrail is so self-contained. Makes it ridiculously easier for Square Enix to eternally shelve that location and characters, without much trouble, should they choose to do so.

    On one hand I also appreciate this because I already want to move on and get away from the lingering bad taste of the DT MSQ. I'm just here hoping that the savage raids and new group content coming is good from both a game play perspective and story perspective since the side stories are always written by different people than the MSQ and thus actually have a chance to not be total slop.

    But on the other hand it will feel very weird if they just dump such a vastly different society as Alexandria onto the Source and then do absolutely nothing with it and its presence has zero repercussions. Due to the way they rarely let the world change much, I feel like they're going to have the Alexandrians continue on doing the same horribly unethical soul commodity stuff they've always been doing in their own literal bubble and the rest of Etheirys will just shrug and go, "Huh. Anyway..."

    Problem is they already did it with Dawntrail none of the world events that allegedly affected Etheirys in its entirety affected Tural; The events of EW I feel everyone could have just moved to Tural no need to go to the moon as Tural was never affected.

    Garlean issue no problem go to Tural no Garleans there
    Allagan no issue never been to Tural apparently
    Calamity issue fall of Dalamud no issue go to Tural
    Void related issue go to Tural cause even if they have a huge Aether rich location apparently they cannot get to it.

    Tural is so far removed from the current lore that it feels like it dropped out of thin air after the void incursion post EW

    Then I am not even talking about plot points I found was weird and award to say the least
    - you meet someone from Sharlyan and he does not know who you are, yet he would've been part of the community when you returned end of EW
    - you go to the mamool-ja home yet don't see the blue mages so the guy teaching blue magic is a liar
    - No merchant or anyone visited Tural for 20 years it seems cause they know nothing of the outside world
    - Galuf in that 20 years also aged like I don't know what went from young man to old man in 20 years (are we to really believe they aged that much in 20 years)?
    - Wuk Lamat allegedly grew up in Tural but no next to nothing of the people
    - you as WoL/WoD are so side-lined even events where you could step in and change course of events you don't you just let stuff happen making me rather think of my own character as being an evil person with no wish to do anything unless he is begged
    - you are a literal god killer yet you cannot even defeat a measly king I mean seriously am I to believe that the sparring much would leave me out of breath?
    - People seem amazed about your achievements when you get a chance to mention them but basically gloss over saying okay that is cool then focus goes back to wuk lamat
