So, translating for non-train-knowers: The Dawnblazer sucks, but it sucks in ways that actually make sense for the time period being evoked and the route we see. Meanwhile, the Garlemald trains actually don't make any sense at all as trains.

Good to know, I love this kind of super niche analysis!

If I can make a weird request: what about the Phantom Train in the Omega raids? That one's got several levels of excuses thanks to being several layers of 'not real' even in-universe, but it's the other big train this game's had.
