Yoshi-P tells PC Gamer that he is "not shocked" by mixed DT reception

[Daralii]

It will probably take us a few expansions to have one anywhere remotely close to shadowbringers in quality. More likely we will have stormblood or heavensward quality.

I consider DT to be well below ARR, HW, and SB. It has all the pacing issues ARR did but does not build toward anything, the worldbuilding and lore are all incredibly one dimensional, the character writing is abysmal, and there is no tension. We haven't even moved on from the previous arc since everything still seems to tie back to Amaurot and the Ascians.
