So that 7.1 msq...

Koana got Lamatified xD Maybe they buckled under the Wuk Lamat criticism and were like yo, lets just have Wuk and Koana swap places. That ought to solve the issue~

That was the word I was missing to describe 7.0. It finally came to me after I played 7.1...

That's the word I was looking for.

The patch is ... inoffensive but infantile. Wuk Lamat isn't a blight on the patch MSQ a la 7.0 but as a whole it's a giant nothing-burger. Koana's "moment" was eye-rollingly painfully embarrassingly nonsensical. Nothing in the 7.1 MSQ is a direct insult to our intelligence but nor is it something to actually be interested in (plot-wise), we'll have to wait and see if the cliffhanger goes somewhere cool or stupid, who knows at this point. I don't think anyone will HATE it but nor will anyone remember it.

Once again the dungeon was cool, so there's that, the design and battle team putting in overtime to carry the writers.

from now on i am not going to be doing msq on patch day. i am not going to waste my time. i will just skip all cutscene and watch it on youtube. because this patch was just a waste of my time

Just finished it, the stuff with Gulool Ja was alright I guess. I was interested in it but it seems they already resolved that plotline.

The stuff with Koana genuinely feels like the biggest MacGuffin they've ever done. They took one of the cool things about Koana and just wrote it off. Because Tural can't have flaws, it has to be 100% perfect where nothing bad happens with no bad people, everyone has to get along just fine.

The random hunter showing up that just so happened to be at the village when Koana's parents were killed and explained away as "I heard them say "Protect our son!!!"" just took me out of it. That whole portion of the MSQ was so awful. It just perfectly solved every issue they had within a single day. The issue with the train tracks scaring the animals, solved perfectly. The conflict between the train operators (if you can call it a conflict) and the nomadic tribe, solved perfectly. All it took was the death of a single monster and it just fixed every single issue.

I seriously don't know what they're doing or expecting out of this. I enjoyed DT's story for the most part. It had flaws but it's no where near as bad as people make it out to be. But this is something entirely different. This genuinely is probably the lowest MSQ has ever been. Unvoiced Side quest content is more interesting than this.

I'd rather go back to Post Patch ARR.

That said the fight content is great. Newest dungeon is my favorite dungeon now. I wish I could be as positive about the story content.

Hello breastie!!!

I just want to know what the difference is between these two characters having a cool 'moment' and someone like, I dunno, Thancred, Y'shtola, Estinien, G'raha, etc having one is lol.

I feel the quality of writing has definitely shifted from mature to childish, and I am worried they are trying to pursue a younger audience, hence, the shift in tone.

the problem is all game are becoming worst as time goes as much as I hated endwalker I can say the writing have quality in it since DT is meh trying to not hurt anyone or anything like legit in heavenward you have racism at is worst and in dawntrail it's just"all a big family" but I play in Japanese so it save me that on CS xx).

but ya I think the lefties are just being overwhelming that they are influencing the game now and to a bad point I'm my book

[Zakuyia]

Ok. So I just wanna say. My character would never look like shes questioned if what she did was wrong. Honestly Speene threatend the first. In turn she Threaten everyone my Wol calls friends. That includes Ryne and Gaia..... Speene chose her path. Thus peace was never an option.

I was actually thinking this yesterday. DT pulled in such a visceral reaction because the writing actually is in line with other AAA games today in the sense that the dialogue and pacing are inherently infantalizing.

I have a feeling this will become a more common observation as we get further away from 7.0. Like you I feel like it hit me kind of retroactively.
