Shadowbringers was really good, with the only annoying parts being the fae. I didn't mind Stormblood, most my issues there were more on the launch problems, story wasn't as good as Heavensward, but it was passible. And yes I have recently replayed the MSQ on an alt, Stormblood is better than Dawntrail. But you don't actually care about that, no your just trying to throw it back in my face cause you don't have an actual argument or defense for Dawntrail. You don't have a defense for the fact that if you put even half a second of thought into what's going on in the Dawntrail story it falls apart, you have no defense for why Garfield suddenly got power boosted and had to be everywhere, and you have absolutely no defense for how all personality of other characters is dropped so they could all be cheerleaders for the worst character SE has ever created.
Okay, let me put that to the test.

Her power coming from nowhere? Hm... let's see. During her battle with Bakool Ja Ja, she mentioned that she has learned what was important to her and no matter what, those feelings will pull her through. What did we learn in Endwalker? Dynamis is another source of energy, another source of strength, heck the entire second half was about how Dynamis can empower people, and even limit breaks are Dynamis based. What did she use for most of the fight to defeat him? Limit breaks.

You need to put two and two together to figure that out, because they don't hold your hand to explain it to your face, which people have been complaining about by the way, but the moment they don't, it's suddenly "bad storytelling" because they don't. So which is it? Do you need it to be explained, or can you use the past story experiences and think and then apply it to the situation?

The Scions personalities are also just fine. In no way they are "cheerleaders", they are however, emotional support. We had tons of threads saying the scions overstayed their welcome and want new characters...and yet not people are mad they aren't the focus? Wuk Lamat needed to be a less developed in order to develop her in the story, which she was. Yes, her personality (which people find annoying but that isn't a character flaw, some personalities you aren't gonna mesh with) stays the same, but her naiveness and innocence slowly grew overtime, if you paid attention. You need to develop new characters when you introduce them or the story will go nowhere. But no, the scions weren't the focus this time and a new character was the main focus, because she wasn't developed yet...but last expansion, people wanted a new character to see their development and not the scions... ...Please make up your mind.
