Dawntrail vs. Stormblood? [possible spoilers]

[Havenchild]

Dawntrail MSQ is better than Stormblood both story and pacing. While not by much, can say I remember snoring through the entirety of the SB MSQ only picking up when Zenos was present while with DT, the beginning is more if a slog /snorefest but the second half was way better imo.

Wuk Lamat is also better than Yda/Lyse as a character although really they are both two halves of the same coin. While Lyse rushed headfirst into things and similarly failed and had learning curve moments, Wuk Lamat hasn't really been tested, but she's also taken her time to understand the cultures and issues of each group of people so imo, it still makes sense she hits less roadbumps.

As for who is more annoying, imo, still think that goes to Lyse. They both are naive in alot of ways but I dislike more someone who is naive and doesn't take the time to learn. For me, it also never made sense why Lyse became the prominent leader of Ala Mhigo versus Raubhan, where premise wise it makes alot more sense why Wuk Lamat is a leader of her people. Raubhan immediately garnered respect among his people the moment he landed there.

DT could have did better with both Zoraal Ja and Sphene as antagonists and both were rushed. Zenos is better done in EW for sure but in SB he is immediately established as a threat as he clowns both WoL & Scions two seperate times.

Battle wise, encounter design is seemingly peak for both for their respective time periods.

Music wise, DT has a better soundtrack but poorer sound quality on all the ENG VA's at random moments.

Artwise - DT blows SB out the water in nearly ever zone.
